Tennessee Prisoner Reportedly Regains Consciousness After Lethal Injections

A female prisoner in the US state of Tennessee reportedly survived two execution attempts, regaining consciousness after receiving lethal injections, according to a brief account of the incident.

The account says the woman was given two doses intended to cause her death. It does not specify the drugs used or the interval between the injections.

The summary describes the punishment as the first of its kind in Tennessee in more than 200 years, but does not explain that characterization or provide evidence supporting it.

The prisoner’s name, the date of the reported incident and her subsequent medical condition were not provided. The account also contains no official confirmation, leaving its central claims unverified.
