US puts inmate to death for first time since botched execution

A Texas death row inmate has been put to death by lethal injection, despite objections following the botched execution of Christa Pike last week. Meanwhile, Christa Pike has begun walking around her hospital room. According to her lawyer, this health update comes just eight days after authorities in the US state of Tennessee botched her execution. These events highlight the ongoing use of lethal injection despite recent failures in the execution process within the United States.
