Christa Pike Paradox

Christa Pike's botched execution presents an ethical conundrum. She's hospitalized after Tennessee tried twice to execute her and failed both times. Her attorney says she may never recover. While there's handwringing about whether executing her again would be "inhumane," many seem to have forgotten that in 1995, Pike admitted to torturing her classmate Colleen Slemmer and keeping a piece of her skull as a souvenir.
