"Where am I, and who are you?" were the first words Christa Pike said after regaining consciousness, according to attorney Randy Spivey.
She is very aware of what they did to her up to a certain point, he said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Pike's lawyers asked during a court hearing in Nashville, Tennessee, that the state preserve all evidence related to the botched execution. The judge approved the request, describing the case as "unique."
The judge said a request to remove Pike's handcuffs while she is in her hospital bed would be considered. She is also in ankle shackles. Her arms and hands were severely swollen and injured during the attempted execution.
