田纳西州囚犯克里斯塔·派克已从医院出院并返回监狱,距离该州试图通过注射死刑执行她已过去一周多,她的律师周六表示。

Tennessee inmate Christa Pike was released from the hospital and is back in prison more than a week after she survived the state's attempt to execute her by lethal injection her attorneys said Saturday.

大局:这次执行失败是前所未有的。50岁的派克于9月30日接受了两剂致命药物戊巴比妥,但仍在呼吸。

The big picture: The failed execution was unprecedented. Pike, 50, got two doses of the deadly drug pentobarbital on Sept. 30 and was still breathing.

  • 州政府叫来救护车,派克在当地医院接受了救命治疗。

• The state called an ambulance and Pike got life-saving care at a local hospital.

  • 派克的律师称他们曾认为她已“脑死亡”并依靠生命维持系统。当她本周早些时候醒来并开始说话时,这让他们和她的医生都感到震惊。

• Pike's attorneys said they believed she was "brain dead" and on life support. It shocked them and her doctors when she woke up and began talking earlier this week. What they're saying:

各方表态:派克的律师表示,她已返回黛布拉·K·约翰逊康复中心,她在那里被关押了几十年。

Pike's attorneys said she had returned to Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, where she had been housed for decades.

  • “她感谢第一响应者和医疗团队在这些特殊情况下的照顾,”律师在声明中说。

• "She is grateful to the first responders and her medical team for their care in these extraordinary circumstances," the attorneys said in a statement.

  • “她继续在监狱接受医疗护理,我们将继续关注她的康复情况。”

• "She is continuing to receive medical care at the prison, and we will continue to track her recovery."

快速回顾:比尔·李州长下令进行独立审查,以查明派克为何能在注射死刑尝试中存活。另一场原定于12月的执行已被叫停,以等待调查结果。

Catch up quick: Gov. Bill Lee ordered an independent review to determine how Pike was able to survive the attempted lethal injection. Another execution set for December was called off while that investigation plays out.

派克被判死刑系因1995年谋杀19岁的科琳·斯莱默。

Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer.
