First responders waited over 30 minutes after Christa Pike's failed execution

Christa Pike waited more than half an hour for emergency care after her failed execution because prison officials and first responders could not agree that help was needed.

Associated Press reviewed 911 dispatch recordings from the night. The tapes show confusion over whether the call from the execution chamber was genuine.

A call marked false then confirmed

Dispatchers logged the initial alert at 8:40 p.m. About 23 minutes after that someone on the line dismissed it as a false alarm.

Prison staff finally verified the emergency at 9:11 p.m. That was 31 minutes after the first alert. Only then did medics treat the run as real.

Survived two injections

Pike lived through a pair of lethal injections in the chamber and was rushed out for hospital care. Her legal team says the ordeal left her with serious psychological trauma.

Her lawyers said Saturday she is out of the hospital and back in custody while still getting medical care. A jury sent her to death row for killing classmate Colleen Slemmer in 1995. Officials have not announced a new date for the execution.
