- Newly released 911 dispatch recordings revealed a delay in the emergency response to Christa Pike's failed execution due to confusion between first responders and Tennessee prison officials.
- The initial call for emergency help came at 8:40 p.m., but prison officials initially labeled it a false call and did not confirm the medical crisis until 9:11 p.m.
- Pike survived Tennessee's attempt to execute her by lethal injection on September 30 for the 1995 murder of classmate Colleen Slemmer.
- The Death Penalty Information Center stated that Pike is the first person to survive after receiving lethal injection drugs during an execution attempt.
- Pike has been discharged from the hospital back to prison, where she continues to receive medical care while possessing no memory of the execution itself.
