Buck Brief - Tennessee Botches Female Execution After 30-Year Wait

Tennessee tried to execute death row inmate Christa Pike by lethal injection. She survived. Pike remained hospitalized, unconscious and on a ventilator after receiving two doses of the execution drug, while Governor Bill Lee ordered a review of what went wrong. Buck reacts to the extraordinary failed execution and asks how a state can botch the ultimate punishment this badly. He also takes on the larger death penalty debate, from lethal injection and decades-long appeals to whether executions should be carried out more quickly and transparently. Buck argues that if states are going to maintain the death penalty, the entire system needs a serious rethink.
