律师周二表示，克里斯塔·派克——一名上周在田纳西州未遂行刑的死囚——目前在病床上意识清醒并能言语。
派克于9月30日在纳什维尔里弗本德最高安全级监狱接受注射死刑未遂，随后被送往医院，目前仍在住院治疗。
她的律师在周二的一份声明中表示，她“意识清醒、能够交谈，目前仍在接受重症医疗护理”，但同时指出“她的预后情况仍不明朗”，“至少”他们“预计她需要漫长的恢复期”。
他们还提到，“尽管她的双臂受到了严重损伤，但她仍然被手铐和脚镣固定在床上”。
派克被注射了两剂戊巴比妥，但据媒体目击者称，当确认她仍未失去意识且仍有心跳时，行刑被取消。一名媒体目击者表示，行刑开始约一小时后，能听到她大声打鼾。随后她被救护车送往当地一家医院。
她的一名律师史蒂夫·费雷尔周一在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》中表示，医生正在努力清除她体内的戊巴比妥，她当时正使用呼吸机。
派克因1995年谋杀一名19岁前同学科琳·斯莱默被判有罪。案发时派克年仅18岁，1996年被判刑时她20岁。
最高法院驳回了最后一刻叫停行刑的申请，派克的行刑于上周获准推进。她本将成为该州约两百年来首位被处决的女性。
在此次行刑未遂后，田纳西州州长比尔·李宣布该州监狱局长、田纳西州惩教署署长弗兰克·斯特拉达将辞职。李还表示，该州今年所有剩余 scheduled 行刑均已取消，他称将对此次未遂行刑开展“第三方审查”。派克的律师也已在戴维森县法院提交动议，要求保全与此次未遂行刑相关的所有证据。
在该动议中，她的律师还声称，行刑过程中，惩教部门团队未能发现静脉输液管未正确置入“或是静脉破裂，戊巴比妥全部或部分渗入”派克体内。
费雷尔在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》中表示，她的法律团队希望能将她的刑期减刑。
“现在至少能做的是，我们至少要将死刑从选项中移除，开始探讨她未来的出路，”费雷尔说道。

Christa Pike, a death row inmate who was subject to a failed execution attempt in Tennessee last week, is conscious and speaking from her hospital bed, her attorneys said Tuesday.
Pike survived the state’s Sept. 30 attempt to execute her by lethal injection at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. She has been hospitalized since.
In a statement Tuesday, her attorneys said that she was “conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care,” but noted that “her prognosis remains unclear” and “at a minimum” they “expect a long recovery.”
They also said that “despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed.”
Pike was given two lethal doses of pentobarbital, but according to media witnesses, the execution was canceled when it was determined she had not lost consciousness and still had a heartbeat. One media witness noted that she could be heard loudly snoring about one hour after the procedure had started. She was then taken by ambulance to an area hospital.
One of her attorneys, Steve Ferrell, told “CBS Mornings” on Monday that doctors were working to clear her body of the pentobarbital and that she was on a ventilator.
Pike was convicted in the 1995 murder of a former classmate, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Pike was 18 at the time of the crime, and 20 when she was sentenced in 1996.
Pike’s execution was allowed to move forward last week after the Supreme Court denied a last-minute effort to halt it. She was set to be the first woman executed in the state in about two centuries.
In the wake of the failed execution, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said the state’s prison chief, Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada, will resign. Lee also said that all remaining scheduled executions in the state this year have been canceled amid what he said would be a “third-party review” of the botched execution. Pike’s attorneys have also filed a motion in Davidson County court requesting that all evidence related to the failed execution be preserved.
In that motion, her attorneys also claimed that during the execution, the corrections department team failed to realize that the IV lines had not been correctly placed “or that the veins had blown and that the pentobarbital was, in whole or in part, entering” Pike’s body.
Ferrell told “CBS Mornings” that her legal team would like to see her sentence commuted.
“The least that could happen now is that we at least take death off the table and start looking for what the future could be for her,” Ferrell said.
