Incompetent TN executioner fucks up lethal injection twice

I first heard about this this morning on my way to work. What an horrific thing to have to go through, not just for the woman but for everybody who was there. I thought to myself well what if this wasn't a woman what if it was a male Serial child rapist and killer would I still feel sorry for him.im interested to see what they will do next with her.
I’m not condoning her crime, but to be sentenced to death in1995 and still be alive in 2026 shows how fucked up the American justice system is.
Almost as crazy as a rapist convicted of 34 felonies becoming president but not quite
"Tennessee governor Bill Lee halted all scheduled executions for the remainder of 2026." (quote from wikipedia)
If the 1999 Ashley Judd film Double Jeopardy taught me anything, it's that you can't be tried for the same crime twice.
She was sentenced to death by lethal injection. She was given a lethal injection and survived. She'd carried out her sentence and should go free.

On the HBO TV show OZ, inmate Bob Rebedow had originally been sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole after he survived his execution. I don't know if that was the law of a State at one time, or just a case of 'dramatic license'.
Rebedow had been an architect. A client had laughed at his blueprints, and Rebedow stabbed him fatally in the neck.

While one would never expect to receive unbiased opinions from Matt Walsh, he does mention a lot of things about Crista Pike which may go unreported by mainstream media.
What happened the guy missed the vein or two shots of pentobarbital are not enough nowadays? Apparently she was snoring after the shots. I was reading that she may have now brain damage because they didn't help her fast enough. They may have to cancel the death penalty if she survives.
I dont think she deserves to go free.
But as stated above by Onamatopoeia, commutation to life without parole is probably fair.
I'm not sure if that was part of the law anywhere. It might have been the case in medieval Europe, where surviving the execution would have been seen as 'divine intervention', but surviving being burned at the stake would be a Pyrrhic victory at best, and surviving a beheading only happened in The Five Chinese Brothers children's book, now banned from libraries.
Apparently the same guy botched both of his execution assignments in 2026, and now he's on paid leave of absence until at least the end of the year.
A favorite expression of my boss in the 1990's was "That guy could fuck up a two car funeral.".
Double Jeopardy applies to the trial and verdict, not the sentence.
You're mixing apples with oranges.
The first situation involves newly discovered evidence following an acquittal verdict.
Implementation of a death sentence order is not a trial. It's the final step for someone previously tried, found guilty, and sentenced.
