Christa Pike的法律团队透露，这名被定罪的杀人犯在9月30日田纳西州一次失败的处决尝试后，仍在医院处于危重状态。
Christa Pike’s legal team have revealed the convicted murderer remains critically ill in hospital following a botched execution attempt in Tennessee on September 30.
据律师Stephen Ferrell称，这名50岁的女子需要靠呼吸机维持生命，且“可能无法完全康复”。
The 50-year-old requires a ventilator to keep her alive and “may not fully recover” according to lawyer Stephen Ferrell.
Ferrell先生告诉CNN：“我们目前还不真正知道预后情况，可能还需要几天才能知晓。未来如何仍有待观察。”
“We don’t really know the prognosis yet and may not know for several days,” Mr Ferrell told CNN. “It remains to be seen what the future is.”
Ferrell先生表示，自从结束她生命的尝试以来，他尚未亲自见过Pike，因为她的病房戒备森严。
Mr Ferrell said he had not personally seen Pike since the attempt at ending her life as her hospital room is heavily guarded.
然而，医疗报告显示，处决尝试中使用了七根针头，导致她的手臂“肿胀、烧伤和起泡”。
However, medical reports explain the use of seven needles during the execution attempt which left her arm “swollen, burned and blistered.”
药物戊巴比妥以多剂量静脉注射给Pike，作为所谓的注射死刑。
The drug pentobarbital was administered intravenously to Pike in numerous doses as a supposed lethal injection.
戊巴比妥是一种巴比妥类药物，用于减缓中枢神经系统，抑制呼吸和心脏的执行功能。
Pentobarbital is a barbiturate used to slow the central nervous system, suppressing breathing and executive function of the heart.
然而，Pike在整个注射过程中持续呼吸，甚至清醒到足以告诉狱警：“我的胳膊感觉快要裂开了”，随后问道：“会是这样吗？”
However, Pike continued breathing throughout the administration of the injections, including being conscious enough to tell prison guards, “my arm feels like it’s about to burst open,” before asking “does this happen like that?”
目击处决尝试的人报告称，她随后入睡并开始“打着响亮的鼾声”，随后Pike的法律团队获得了一项紧急动命令，停止任何进一步结束她生命的尝试。
Witnesses to the attempted execution report she then fell asleep and began “snoring loudly” before Pike’s legal team were granted an emergency motion to cease any further attempts at ending her life.
Ferrell先生说：“我认为让这件事悬而未决一段时间的主要原因之一是我们不知道预后如何，即长期预后。如果她康复了，可能无法完全康复。而且可能存在关于她能力的问题。我们对此一无所知。”
“I think one of the main things that will leave this up in the air for a while is the fact that we don’t know what the prognosis is, as in, the long-term prognosis. If she recovers, she may not fully recover,” Mr Ferrell said. “And there may be issues about her competence. We just don’t know any of this.”
据了解，Pike很可能因接受的戊巴比妥注射失败而遭受脑损伤。
It is understood Pike is likely to have suffered brain damage due to effects of the unsuccessful administration of pentobarbital she received.
田纳西州州长Bill Lee已下令对这次失败的处决进行独立审查，并取消了2026年剩余时间的所有处决。
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has ordered an independent review into the botched execution and called off all executions for the remainder of 2026.
