Can Tennessee do anything right?
The emergency response to Christa Pike’s botched execution last month was delayed by about half an hour, because of confusion over the authenticity of the 911 call, according to dispatch and radio calls released on Monday.

"It's just a recipe for disaster. This is tragically not unexpected, particularly when you have states who simply disregard the warning signs and believe that everyone is just faking or trying to avoid justice." @usatoday.com story here: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Tennessee ignored serious red flags before Christa Pike. What were they?
Among the red flags: Tennessee botched another execution in May and Christa Pike's attorneys warned that she had unusually difficult veins to access.

When I wrote Killing Stays in 2024, I think a public execution was beyond my imaginings (though what happened to Christa Pike was, sadly, not). @stevevladeck.bsky.social's latest One First on this captures a lot of what I'm thinking as I watch our grotesque killing state: tinyurl.com/5kd42xh4
257. Public Executions and the Eighth Amendment
The shift in the Court's Eighth Amendment jurisprudence would be a significant obstacle to litigation challenging the public execution of Nidal Hasan.
