What has Christa Pike's life been like since the failed execution?

In her first statement since the failed execution, she describes the days that followed. Several days later I woke up alone in a hospital confused and in pain.

Pike says the pain has not stopped since that night. My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts. I still struggle to speak.

Since that night she has been kept mostly apart in the prison's medical unit, on top of the 28 years she says she spent in solitary.

The record runs back to 1995, when a classmate was killed in Knoxville. She was sentenced to death in 1996, and the failed execution came at the end of September. Her statement is the first public account since.
