State officials tried and failed to execute Christa Pike. She is now in critical condition, her lawyers said Thursday, and they have not been able to see or speak with her since she was hospitalized.

Christa Pike, who was convicted in a brutal 1995 killing, continued breathing after she was given two doses of lethal injection drugs, her lawyers said.
