田纳西州监狱局局长弗兰克·斯特拉达宣布辞职，辞职时间定在10月晚期1。这一决定源于该州对死刑犯克里斯塔·派克的执行出现重大失误。派克在周三接受致命注射后存活，成为美国历史上首名经历失败死刑执行并存活的死囚1。
派克的死刑执行过程中出现严重并发症。根据其律师兰迪·斯皮维的说法，派克的左臂上至少被插入七根针头，其中一根弯曲1。这些并发症导致戊巴比妥进入派克的身体而非血管1。执行过程中，派克失去意识、身体受伤并被插管2。对于这一事件，斯特拉达坚持声称其团队遵循了规程3。
州长比尔·李宣布启动独立调查并暂停田纳西州的死刑执行程序1。派克因1995年杀害同学科琳·斯莱姆而被判死刑1。若死刑得以成功执行，派克将成为田纳西州200多年来首名被处死的女性1。
Tennessee's top prison official Frank Strada announced his resignation following a botched execution attempt on death row inmate Christa Pike 1. Pike survived the lethal injection procedure on Wednesday, becoming the first person in U.S. history to survive a failed execution 1. Governor Bill Lee initiated an independent investigation and suspended Tennessee's capital punishment program 1.
According to Pike's attorney Randy Spivey, at least seven needles were inserted into her left arm during the execution procedure, with one needle bent 1. Pike's legal team attributed the complications to failed intravenous access, stating that pentobarbital entered her body through tissue rather than into a vein 1. Strada maintained that his team followed proper protocols throughout the procedure 3. The resignation will take effect in late October 1.
Pike was sentenced to death in 1995 for the murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer 1. Had the execution succeeded, she would have been Tennessee's first woman executed in over 200 years 1. Under Strada's leadership since 2022, the state experienced five failed execution attempts across two jurisdictions, according to allegations 1.
