As noted later in the thread, this is the 67th confirmed death in DHS custody since Trump retook office. Each death is a stain upon our nation and we are all morally responsible for this happening.

In light of the Cornell story, this ongoing disturbing LSU rape case isn’t getting nearly the national press attention it deserves. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Press release I woke up to, on Christa Pike’s condition (sent 9/30 at 11:36pm ET)
Statement from Christa Pike’s attorney 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.
