Christa Pike’s Lawyers Unveil Shocking Health Crisis and Dark Secrets Behind Failed Act
One of the seven needles used on her arm was bent at a 90-degree angle when it was removed from her arm, the filing said. At one point, Pike herself guided the officials on where to best look for her vein.
“Ms. Pike was not just cooperative, but was trying to help instruct the people placing the IV lines on where they could find them,” her lawyers said. “She over and over again said, ‘Please try up on my shoulder higher. Please try here. Please try here.’”
“Last night was not just inefficient. It was cruel, and it was torturous… That really was her biggest fear. It was not a fear of dying. It was a fear of a prolonged, painful, traumatic d**th.”
Christa Pike smiled and sang as she prepared for the procedure
Christa Pike was brought to the chamber where she was to breathe her last at around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, strapped to a gurney. The witnesses were already gathered.
Giving a final statement, Pike said, “I’m ready to be free. This is a happy day.”
Her spiritual adviser stood beside the gurney, spoke to her, and stroked her head. They sang a song whose lyrics were inaudible, but the witnesses could see her smile and hear the phrase “I love you” repeated.
At 7:41 p.m., a paperweight was placed on the ledge, which coincides with the protocol that dictates it marks the beginning of a five-minute countdown after the first dose is administered.
At 7:46 p.m., the curtain was drawn, blocking the witnesses’ view of Pike. But they could hear her make sounds. Three more minutes later, she was still alive, and the second dose was given.
She kept breathing, and at 7:56 p.m., her head was raised slightly off the gurney and turned to the side. At some point, she lost consciousness.
After the curtains were closed a second time at 8:06 p.m., Pike could be heard from behind the curtain for 40 minutes. Witnesses said she sounded like she was snoring in a rhythmic, regular breathing pattern.
At 8:53 p.m., the witnesses were asked to leave the area, and at 9:14 p.m., fire trucks and ambulances arrived in front of the prison.
