An investigative reporter who witnessed the failed execution attempt of Christa Pike said the death row inmate asked, "Have they started this yet?" after two lethal doses of pentobarbital were administered. Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state's attempt to carry out Pike's execution.
