田纳西州州长比尔·李周六宣布,该州监狱系统负责人将于本周早些时候克里斯塔·派克的行刑失败后辞职。
李表示,他于2023年1月任命的专员斯特拉达将于本月卸任,但未透露其他具体细节。
田纳西州惩教署署长弗兰克·斯特拉达在一份声明中称,他相信“惩教署已按照既定程序履行了职责”,但随着李下令启动独立审查,“辞职符合该州居民的最佳利益”。
斯特拉达说:“我认为此次审查完全恰当且必要,我将尽我所能协助查明事件的完整经过。”
派克原定于周三通过注射死刑被处决,但行刑过程两次失败。派克的律师周五表示,她目前在纳什维尔地区的一家医院昏迷并接受了气管插管。她依靠呼吸机呼吸,双臂均有严重伤势,律师称。医护人员正在努力清除她体内的戊巴比妥。
李还已取消田纳西州今年剩余时间计划的所有剩余处决。
在一份法庭文件中,派克的律师请求下令要求田纳西州惩教署保全与此次失败行刑尝试相关的所有证据。
派克的律师周五称,田纳西州惩教署的静脉注射团队似乎并未意识到派克的静脉导管放置不当,或是她的静脉破裂,导致戊巴比妥进入了派克体内。
美国最高法院裁定派克的行刑可以执行后,她本将成为田纳西州自19世纪以来首位被处决的女性。她因1995年谋杀前同学科琳·斯莱默被判处死刑。根据法庭记录,派克和斯莱默当时都是诺克斯维尔职业培训中心的学生,时年18岁的派克折磨并杀害了19岁的斯莱默,据称起因是斯莱默对她的感情生活发表了评论。派克现年50岁。

The head of Tennessee’s prison system is set to resign after the botched execution of Christa Pike earlier this week, Gov. Bill Lee announced Saturday.
Lee said that Strada, whom he named commissioner in January 2023, will step down this month, but did not offer any other specifics.
Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada said in a statement that he believes “the Department carried out its responsibilities in accordance with the established protocol,” but that “stepping aside is in the best interest” of the state’s residents as an independent review ordered by Lee begins.
“I believe this review is entirely appropriate and necessary, and I look forward to doing everything I can to help determine exactly what occurred,” Strada said.
Pike was set to be executed by lethal injection on Wednesday, but the process failed twice. Pike’s attorneys said Friday that she is unconscious and intubated in a Nashville-area hospital. She is using a ventilator to breathe and has significant injuries to both arms, her attorneys said. Hospital staff is working to clear the pentobarbital from her body.
Lee has also called off the remaining executions scheduled in Tennessee for the rest of the year.
In a court filing, Pike’s attorneys requested an order requiring the Tennessee Department of Correction to preserve all evidence related to the failed execution attempt.
Pike’s lawyers said Friday that the Tennessee Department of Correction IV team did not seem to realize that Pike’s IVs were not correctly placed or that her veins had blown, allowing the pentobarbital to enter Pike’s body.
Pike was set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee since the 1800s after the Supreme Court ruled that her execution could proceed. She was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of her former classmate, Colleen Slemmer. According to court records, Pike and Slemmer were students at the Job Corps Center in Knoxville when Pike, then 18, tortured and killed her, allegedly over comments Slemmer, 19, had made about her relationship. Pike is now 50.
