Christa Pike back in prison — sudden discharge from hospital and questions about another execution4 dagen geleden1 u 07 min

Christa Pike is out of the hospital and back in prison in Tennessee, according to her attorneys. The state attempted to execute Pike, but she survived. The question now — what will happen next? Columbia professor Bernard Harcourt represented a man in a similar situation. Doyle Lee Hamm had a botched execution in Alabama, and Harcourt was able to negotiate a deal with the state to stop a second execution. In this episode, Brian talked with Bernard about the similarities between the cases and what could happen next for Christa. Also, a supporter of victim Colleen Slemmer’s family speaks out about why she believes another execution should move forward.
