Death row killer Christa Pike describes waking up after execution she never expected to survive

Death row inmate Christa Pike is speaking out one month after surviving Tennessee's attempt to execute her, saying she remains in constant pain and had never contemplated a life beyond the night she expected to die.

Pike, 50, described her condition in a statement dictated to her legal team and released Friday.

"One month ago on September 30, I walked into the execution chamber at Riverbend men’s prison prepared to die," Pike said. "I had made my peace."
