Christa Pike is conscious and speaking. That is the update. It is not the story. Pike is still receiving critical care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after Tennessee’s attempted execution. Her attorneys say she survived two doses of pentobarbital, then spent days on a ventilator. This video is about the man who was in charge.
Outgoing TDOC Commissioner Frank Strada did not arrive in Tennessee with a clean record on executions. As a deputy director in Arizona’s prison system, he oversaw three executions that administrators and observers raised concerns over. In a November 2025 deposition, he said he brought Arizona’s execution protocol with him to help write Tennessee’s revised procedures.
This is the record, state by state: the Arizona executions, the protocol he carried across, and what happened on the night Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike. #ChristaPike #FrankStrada #TDOC #BotchedExecution #TrueCrime

BREAKING NEWS AT 6TH OCTOER 2026: Christa Pike is conscious and speaking at Vanderbilt. BUT YET this video is not a medical update. It is Frank Strada’s execution record, from three disputed Arizona executions to the protocol he brought to TDOC...& how the WHOLE of Tennessee is now paying - literally! - for this man's mistakes. Does Tennessee owe it to its citizens to execute Pike even now? Share your views in a comment below as I am interested in your way of thinking.

The government is laughably incompetent!!

Yes, it is true. I just looked up a mews article posted Jan 23, 2015 , by Randy Kenner in the Knox News Sentinal. It states that the skull was used as an exhibit in Pike’s trial, and that the mother had neen trying for years to obtain her faughter’s skull so that she could bury it with the rest of her daughter’s remains. The article says that the judge agreed to return the skull to the mother, but only after all appeals had been exhausted. Recently it has been stated that the mother is still waiting for the return of the skull fragment, so it is not clear if the skull itself has already been returned or not.

The details of this case are horrific, one is better off not knowing.

This is a psyop and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Thanks for covering this Gina 🙏

Completel BS to put her through another attempted execution. She gave her pound of flesh. She walked the final walk and was strapped to the table. They gave her double the lethal dose. They botched it. She did her part and more. It's over.

Well then release her to an open prison or probation. She served her time and more. Solitary confinement, two death penalties, torture, mental torture. Bodily damage. How much revenge do people require.

They're saying she's awake and talking and off the ventilator

@LittleWing34 14 hours ago

Clearly it is not about her veins as she and her lawyer warned. She was in the hospital, unconscious. Therefore she must have iv fluids and food administered . As well as other medications. The staff at the prison is the failure.

Her fault and her lawyer fault

@amandafooks1259 13 hours ago

You want to support the death penalty in your state, you pay the price when things go wrong. Tough. If you murder the murderer what's the difference between you ?

They should have sent visitors away and let her slip away. If she had not been put on the ventilator she would have died... eventually. Would she have suffered, probably. But she tortured her victim for hours. I'm not usually a violent person but Christa Pike had all the makings of a potential serial killer.
