Christa Pike Believed Brain Dead, Then Awake and Walking, Tennessee Won't Rule Out a Second Execution, Tyreek Hill's Wife Testifies in Miami

Christa Gail Pike's attorneys believed she was brain dead Monday night and expected her to be taken off life support Tuesday. Instead, attorney Randy Spivey said, she woke up and began talking — "to the shock of everyone," including her medical team. She has pneumonia, a blood clot, and no function in either arm, remains handcuffed and shackled, and her lawyers say there could be permanent damage. On Wednesday, Davidson County Chancellor I'Ashea Myles ordered Tennessee to preserve all evidence from the Sept. 30 failed execution — IV lines, needles, drugs, records, 911 calls, log books, communications and anything concerning deviations from protocol — declining to rely on an existing federal order. Asked whether the execution would be rescheduled, the state's attorney said he was not in a position to answer. Also: Lakeeta "Keeta" Vaccaro testified for more than three hours in her civil assault and battery trial against Tyreek Hill in Miami; he denies all of it and has not been charged. And a Tennessee jury is weighing whether former paramedic Matthew Konen killed his wife Rachel Konen and her father David Rodgers. Garret Fisher reports. Join our new FB groups page here.
