Gavin Newsom weighs taking 563 inmates off death row in California after botched Christa Pike execution

Governor Gavin Newsom is seriously considering sparing the lives of all 563 prisoners currently on death row in California. This deliberation follows the botched execution of Christa Pike, who survived two doses of lethal injection. Her legal team has described the incident as medically unprecedented. Pike is currently recovering and has begun walking, though she is reportedly taking only limited steps as she continues to heal from the failed execution attempt in the state.
