Wikipedia "In June 2026, after the attempted execution of Tony Carruthers, Pike challenged the execution protocol, alleging that the state could not guarantee a constitutionally compliant execution. She argued that her thrombocytosis would complicate IV placement and increase her risk of suffering"
