美国田纳西州1995年因杀害同学Colleen Slemmer而被判死刑的Christa Pike在接受致命注射后存活，成为已知唯一存活下来接受此类执行的人1。Pike接受了两剂五巴比妥酸盐注射，但执行团队未能正确放置静脉导管或识别静脉问题1。由于注射液流入组织而非血管，她的双臂遭受严重烧伤和肿胀1。Pike在医院住院近一周后苏醒，医疗人员曾要求移除她的脚镣但被拒绝1。
Pike的律师表示她目前对一切都感到愤怒和困惑1。法官已下令保存所有与失败执行相关的证据1。Pike的律师向田纳西州州长Bill Lee提出请愿，要求将其死刑减刑至终身监禁并放弃重新执行1。不过，州长在这次执行失败的两天前曾拒绝了减刑申请1。
Christa Pike, who was sentenced to death in 1995 for torturing and killing her classmate Colleen Slemmer in Tennessee, has become the only known person to survive a lethal injection execution after receiving two doses of pentobarbital.1 Pike regained consciousness following nearly a week of hospitalization, making her a unique case in U.S. capital punishment history according to the Death Penalty Information Center.1
The execution was severely compromised when medical personnel failed to properly place the intravenous catheter or identify the malfunction, resulting in the lethal injection flowing into surrounding tissue rather than into a vein.1 This critical error caused severe swelling and burns to Pike's arms and hands, with her attorneys noting that the limbs became blistered and burned.1 Medical staff had requested the removal of her leg shackles to facilitate better access for the procedure, but the request was denied.1
Following the botched execution, Pike's legal team has launched efforts to prevent another execution attempt.1 Attorney Randy Spivey stated that Pike is now "angry and confused" about her situation.1 Her lawyers, including Luke Ihnen, have appealed to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee for clemency, requesting that her death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment and that the state abandon plans to carry out the execution again.1 A federal judge has ordered that all evidence related to the failed execution be preserved.1 Governor Lee had declined a clemency request two days before the execution attempt.1
