50岁的克里斯塔·派克在9月30日田纳西州的死刑执行中幸存下来3。派克接受了两次致命注射，但未如预期死亡3。她初被宣布脑死亡，但随后苏醒并开始说话3。律师在派克左臂发现七根针头，其中一根被弯曲，且派克在执行时曾抬起头说她的手臂在燃烧3。
派克目前已能在医院走动，尽管左臂严重受伤且精神状态混乱23。周三的报告显示她无法移动手臂，患有肺炎和血栓，仍被脚镣和右臂束缚在医院床上3。派克因1995年参与杀害19岁女同学科琳·斯莱默而被判死刑3，已在死牢隔离30年3。派克曾被诊断为双相情感障碍和创伤后应激障碍3。
这次执行失败引发了关于死刑执行程序合法性的重大法律纠纷2。田纳西州州长比尔·李驳回了派克的赦免请求，并暂停了该州今年剩余的执行3。该案件使用的致命注射药物随后也在德克萨斯州被使用1。
A 50-year-old death row inmate in Tennessee survived a lethal injection execution on September 30, defying the intended outcome of the procedure.3 Christa Pike received two injections but did not die, initially being declared brain dead before regaining consciousness and the ability to speak.3 Her lawyer reported finding seven needle marks on Pike's left arm, with one needle bent.3 During the execution, Pike lifted her head and stated that her arm was burning.3
Following the failed execution, Pike's condition deteriorated and then unexpectedly improved.3 She was pronounced brain dead on Monday but regained consciousness on Tuesday and began speaking.3 By Wednesday, Pike was described as angry and confused, though she remained unable to move her left arm and was diagnosed with pneumonia and blood clots.3 She remained shackled to a hospital bed, with her right arm restrained.3
Pike has been on death row for 30 years following her 1995 conviction for the murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, whom she killed when she was 18 years old.3 Pike was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.3 Tennessee Governor Bill Lee rejected Pike's clemency request and suspended the state's remaining executions for the year.3
