Lawyers seek to stop execution today in Texas, citing Christa Pike's failed injection

Lawyers for Jamaal Howard are attempting to stop his scheduled execution in Texas. They argue that the lethal injection drug planned for use is the same medication involved in a failed execution attempt for Christa Pike in Tennessee last week. Attorneys claim this specific drug poses significant risks to the prisoner, prompting their request for more information regarding the medication's safety and efficacy before the state of Texas proceeds with the execution of Howard.
