美国田纳西州对50岁死囚克里斯塔·派克进行的死刑执行于本周三失败1。执行过程中，因静脉线放置不当，注射的五巴比妥药物流入皮下组织而非血管1，导致派克目前在纳什维尔医院陷入昏迷、被插管，并依靠呼吸机维持生命2。医院工作人员正尝试清除其体内的五巴比妥1。派克还遭受了烧伤2。
派克因1995年杀害19岁女性科琳·斯莱默而在1996年被判处死刑，当时年仅20岁1。此次执行本将成为田纳西州200多年来首次执行女性死刑，上一次该州执行女性死刑发生在1820年1。
这起执行失败事件引发了律师、医生和宗教人士的广泛呼吁，要求在美国实施死刑执行暂停令1。派克的律师已通过法庭文件公开了她的状况2。
An execution attempt on 50-year-old Christa Pike in Tennessee ended in failure on Wednesday when an improperly placed intravenous line caused the lethal injection drug to enter tissue rather than her bloodstream. 1 Pike remains unconscious at a Nashville hospital, where she is being kept alive by a ventilator, and medical staff are attempting to remove pentobarbital from her system. 12 She received two doses of pentobarbital during the procedure before the malfunction was discovered. 1
Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 at age 20 for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. 1 Had the execution succeeded, it would have marked Tennessee's first execution of a woman in over 200 years, with the previous occurring in 1820. 1 The failed execution has prompted lawyers, doctors, and religious figures to call for a nationwide moratorium on capital punishment. 1
