TN moves to deny Christa Pike's attorneys access to lethal drug

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti has asked a Davidson County chancellor to block Christa Pike’s attorneys from examining and testing the lethal-injection drug left over from her failed execution. The state argues that access could reveal the supplier’s identity. Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital during the September 30 execution attempt. The judge will decide whether to revise an earlier order allowing the legal team to inspect the drug, WSMV reports.
