杰弗里·柯林斯报道称，克里斯塔·派克的律师周日表示，自周三晚在田纳西州执行死刑未遂以来，她已在医院昏迷四天，并一直依靠呼吸机维持生命。未来数日内，她的预后情况可能仍无法确定。
JEFFREY COLLINS Christa Pike has remained unconscious and on a ventilator at a hospital in the four days since her failed execution in Tennessee, and her prognosis might not be known for days more, one of her lawyers said Sunday.
自周三晚执行死刑未遂以来，外界鲜少获知派克的情况。此后，她一直在严密看守下住院，医生正试图将大剂量巴比妥类药物戊巴比妥排出她的体内。
Little has been released about Pike’s condition since Wednesday night’s execution attempt. She has since remained hospitalized under guard as doctors try to get the massive dose of the barbiturate pentobarbital out of her system.
当被问及派克在执行死刑未遂后是否曾恢复意识时，她的律师、联邦助理辩护律师斯蒂芬·费雷尔在CNN节目《国情咨文》中表示：“据我所知，没有。”现年50岁的派克在1995年只有18岁，当时她出于嫉妒，在盛怒中与男友折磨并杀害了同学科琳·斯莱默。她由此成为被送入死囚区时年龄最轻的女性之一。
When asked whether she ever regained consciousness after the execution attempt, Assistant Federal Defender Stephen Ferrell, Pike’s lawyer, said on CNN’s “State of the Union”: “Not that I am aware of.”Pike, now 50, was 18 when she and her boyfriend tortured and killed a classmate, Colleen Slemmer, in a jealous rage in 1995. She became one of the youngest women to be sent to death row.
田纳西州监狱官员于周三晚给派克注射了两剂致命注射药物。戊巴比妥未能杀死她，但她的律师称，腐蚀性药物导致她的双臂被灼伤并起泡。
Tennessee prison officials gave Pike two doses of the lethal injection drug on Wednesday night. The pentobarbital didn’t kill her, but her lawyers said her arms were burned and blistered from the caustic drugs.
费雷尔说，派克将医疗授权书交给了某人，此人正在保护她的隐私。费雷尔说：“我不确定他们究竟对那个人说了什么。”派克的律师尚未透露目前由谁替她作出医疗决定。
Pike gave someone her medical power of attorney and that person is protecting her privacy, Ferrell said. “I’m not sure what all they may have told that person,” Ferrell said. Pike’s attorneys have not identified who is making Pike’s medical decisions.
派克辩护团队的一名女发言人周日凌晨发表声明称：“我们感谢各方尊重克里斯塔应有的隐私权。”
A spokeswoman for Pike’s defense team said in a statement early Sunday that “we appreciate all respect for Christa’s rightful privacy.”
