US Death Row Inmate Released from Hospital After Botched Execution

Christa Pike, a US death row inmate who survived a botched execution attempt, has been released from the hospital and returned to prison, her attorneys announced.

According to reports by ABC News and CBS News, Pike was transferred back to the correctional facility where she has been held for about 30 years, more than a week after surviving the procedure. CBS reported that Pike survived despite receiving two doses of a lethal injection in late September.

According to her lawyers, as also reported by Romanian outlet Digi24, the 50-year-old will continue to receive medical care while in prison. Further details have not yet been released.
