Christa Pike returns to prison after surviving execution attempt

Christa Pike, the first death row inmate documented to survive a lethal injection, has been discharged from hospital and returned to prison.

• Pike, 50, was discharged from the hospital and returned to the prison where she was housed for 30 years, her attorneys said Saturday.
• She survived two doses of pentobarbital during a Sept. 30 lethal injection attempt for the 1995 killing of classmate Colleen Slemmer.
• The Death Penalty Information Center says Pike is the first person documented to survive receiving lethal injection drugs.
• Tennessee Assistant Attorney General Will Ayers told a judge Wednesday he does not know whether the state will reschedule Pike's execution.
