Breaking: Christa Pike is awake and conscious .
What has Brian Entin been covering? Almost one story, from every side. The newest turn is a short titled "Breaking: Christa Pike is awake and conscious." A day after it went up, it was drawing viewers faster than anything else on the channel. That is quite a shift from the episodes before it, which described her as unconscious and on a ventilator after a failed lethal injection in a Tennessee prison.
The longer episodes show how widely he went for answers. The most watched upload of the week, which has passed a million views, brought back the police chief who investigated Pike's case alongside a death penalty expert. Another episode put an ER doctor and a law professor on the questions of recovery and what comes next legally. Later he spoke with a veterinarian about pentobarbital, and with Randy Gardner, whose brother Ronnie Gardner was executed by firing squad. The comments under the most watched episode keep returning to Colleen Slemmer, the woman Pike killed, and to why the case has taken three decades.
One episode stepped away from Pike. With attorney and criminologist Dr. Casey Jordan, Entin asked whether Alleigha Botner could face charges after Caleb Flynn's murder conviction.
The channel is drawing close to twice its usual daily views, and it added around 12,000 subscribers. Among true crime and courts channels of a similar size, no one gained more views over the week. Attorney Larry Forman and The Decoder are also running well above their usual pace, while Emily D. Baker is in a quieter stretch.
