Nashville, Tennessee - Convicted murderer Christa Pike who survived a botched execution, has been released from the hosptial and returned to prison, her lawyers announced on Saturday.
"Christa Pike was discharged from a local hospital and... is continuing to receive medical care at the prison," a statement by her lawyers, Stephen Ferrell, Luke Ihnen, Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason, said.
"She is grateful to the first responders and her medical team for their care in these extraordinary circumstances,” they added.
Pike, who was found guilty on all counts for the murder of Colleen Slemmer, survived two doses of pentobarbital on September 30. She was set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in 200 years.
Following the botched execution, she was transported to a local hospital in Nashville. She was believed to be brain dead and was set to be taken off life support on Tuesday when she suddenly woke up and started talking, Spivey told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday.
Though Spivey said he was not in the room with Pike when she woke up, he believes one of the first things she said after coming to was "Where am I and who are you?"
Pike will now return to the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, where she's been housed for 30 years.
Her lawyers are still trying to get "death off the table" and have her sentence commuted to life in prison without parole.
