Christa Pike woke 'angry and confused' after the botched execution, her lawyers say

ABC, SBS and the Herald reported new details of Christa Pike's condition. Her lawyers said she woke angry and confused after surviving the September 30 execution attempt in Tennessee, and the Herald reported her first words. The ABC said a second attempt would be highly problematic, and The Age's live blog said a US execution has since gone ahead, the first since Tennessee's failure.

The question is whether the US can try again.

None for Australia.

Watch the Tennessee evidence order and the state's next step.
