It was very unlikely this was going to be decided in the first round and I fully expect US interference to kick into even higher gear

Okay, we have to know what happened at Fairford because they let those guys out on bail. If this was a terror attack as the US claims it was, the US would never have let the UK let them go.

Beyond the horrifying reality that a hospital is trying to "clear the pentobarbital from [Christa Pike's] system" currently, the litigation over Tennessee's actions this week will shine a very clear light on the many, many reasons why governments should not be trusted with killing their citizens.

An actual link to the state court filing — nashvillebanner.com/wp-content/u... — if the @nytimes.com's ridiculous "seven individual images you can download if you'd like" version of posting court filings seems stupid, contrary to the role of journalism, and incredibly obnoxious to you.

South Carolina Docket Updates @scdocketupdates.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
took a quick look at the docket data to see how long it takes the Court to rule on death penalty rehearing petitions, and roughly there's a median of 40.5 days. based on that, we should probably hear something regarding Bixby's petition around the first week of Nov 1/

"Gov. Lee calls off executions for rest of 2026" www.tennessean.com/story/news/c... Ah, yeah, I think so, buddy. But, also, let's be clear how little this is: Bill Lee calls off ... one execution date.

Gov. Lee calls off executions for rest of 2026
Kirsten Fiscus
→ Share this update
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is pausing all executions this year after Christa Pike survived two deadly doses of pentobarbital.
"Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State's most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective," Lee said in a statement Sept. 30.
Lee is calling for a "comprehensive, third-party review" of Pike's execution.
"Therefore, the remaining scheduled execution will not be carried out this year," Lee said.
Gary Wayne Sutton was scheduled for execution Dec. 3.

NEW: Statement from Christa Pike's lawyers: ”Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. ... Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.” www.lawdork.com/p/the-big-pr...
Statement from Christa Pike's attorneys Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN
Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee
Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.
Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

not sure how much it will matter in the scheme of things. The district court had already found their emergency motion moot because the state said medical care was being administered

CONCLUSION
Ms. Pike, through counsel, moves this Court to
• immediately HALT and STAY the continuation of this execution;
• require the Tennessee Department of Correction to remove the IV catheters
(see Protocol, page 23: “Upon receiving notification [of a stay of execution],
the Warden . . . directs the IV Team to remove the catheters . . .”); and
• require the Tennessee Department of Correction to immediately take all
possible lifesaving measures on Ms. Pike.
DATED this 30th day of September, 2026

finding this moot is wild because it theoretically allows the state under their protocol to try again before the execution warrant expires
