美国田纳西州50岁的死刑犯克里斯塔·派克的行刑在执行前一小时被中止1。派克因1996年谋杀19岁的科琳·斯莱默而被判死刑1。第六巡回上诉法院周三裁定需要更多时间来审理其案件1。此前最高法院已拒绝了她的复核请求，州长也拒绝了她的赦免请求1。
派克作案时仅18岁，当时与其男友在一所问题少年培训营中共同实施了犯罪1。派克的律师主张田纳西州的致命注射程序可能造成宪法不允许的过度痛苦1。此外，派克否认自己刻画了五角星符号1。
The execution of 50-year-old death row inmate Christa Pike in Tennessee was stopped just one hour before it was set to take place 1. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that additional time was needed to review Pike's case, following the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to reconsider her petition and the state governor's rejection of her clemency request 1.
Pike was sentenced to death for the 1996 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer 1. She was 18 years old at the time of the crime, which she committed alongside her then-boyfriend at a youth training facility 1. At the time of her arrest, Pike was the youngest person on death row 1. Her legal team has argued that Tennessee's lethal injection procedure could inflict unconstitutional levels of pain 1, while Pike herself has denied involvement in carving a pentagram symbol 1.
