(Nashville, TN) -- Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is speaking publicly for the first time since her failed execution. In a statement released through her lawyers today, Pike says she remains in a prison hospital ward with pain throughout her body and in her mind. The 50-year-old convicted killer survived two lethal injections last month. That sparked a full investigation into what went wrong and opening a debate over the death penalty in Tennessee's governor race.
