一名双重杀人犯先保释了其中一名受害者出狱，随后将其枪杀，又在受害者的妹妹前来寻找哥哥时将其杀害。该死刑犯的执行因田纳西州在对 Christa Pike 实施注射死刑时出现失误而被搁置，Pike 因参与 1995 年在诺克斯维尔发生的“撒旦式”折磨并谋杀 19 岁少女 Colleen Slemmer 一案而被定罪。
The execution of a double murderer who bailed one of his victims out of jail only for the man to be shot dead — and then killed his sister when she went looking for him — has been put on hold after Tennessee's botched attempt to lethally inject Christa Pike for her role in the "satanic" torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville in 1995.
比尔·李州长下令暂停全州死刑执行至年底——但原本仅安排了一场执行，即定于 12 月 3 日对被判双重谋杀罪的 Gary Wayne Sutton 执行死刑。
Gov. Bill Lee halted the death penalty across the state for the rest of the year — but there was only one scheduled, the Dec. 3 execution of convicted double murderer Gary Wayne Sutton.
他的叔叔兼共同被告 James Dellinger 于 2023 年在死囚牢房中因自然原因死亡。

前诺克斯维尔警察局长称调查人员 31 年后仍被 Colleen Slemmer 案困扰 Sutton 一直坚称无罪——但在分别进行的审判中，他因谋杀 Tommy Griffin 和 Connie Branam 这对兄妹而被定罪，两人分别于 1992 年 2 月 21 日和 22 日遇害。
FORMER KNOXVILLE POLICE CHIEF SAYS INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL HAUNTED BY COLLEEN SLEMMER'S MURDER 31 YEARS LATER Sutton has maintained his innocence — but in separate trials, he was convicted in the murders of Tommy Griffin and Connie Branam, a brother and sister who were killed on Feb. 21 and 22, 1992.
根据 Fox News Digital 审查的法庭记录，Sutton 在案发前几个月曾殴打过 Griffin 的哥哥，1992 年 2 月 21 日，他与 Dellinger 和 Griffin 在一家名为 Howie's Hideaway 的酒吧喝酒。
Sutton, who months earlier had beaten up Griffin's brother, went drinking with Dellinger and Griffin at a bar called Howie's Hideaway on Feb. 21, 1992, according to court records reviewed by Fox News Digital.
离开后他们发生争执，Sutton 和 Dellinger 将 Griffin 丢在路边。他遇到一名路过的司机，后者拦下一名警察，法庭文件显示。
After they left, they got in a fight, and Sutton and Dellinger left Griffin on the roadside. He encountered a passing driver who flagged down a police officer, according to court documents.
前警察局长称 Christa Pike 注射死刑失误转移了对受害者的关注，危及执行死刑 该响应警官报告称，Griffin “濒临崩溃”，赤裸上身，上半身有“擦伤和抓痕”，耳后有伤口。根据法庭记录，Griffin 声称他“和一些朋友争吵了，那些人其实不是他的朋友”。
CHRISTA PIKE'S BOTCHED LETHAL INJECTION TAKES FOCUS OFF VICTIM, JEOPARDIZES EXECUTION: FORMER POLICE CHIEF The responding officer reported that Griffin was "on the verge of tears" and shirtless with "scrapes and scratches" on his upper body and a cut behind his ear. Griffin claimed he had gotten into "an argument with some friends, who were not really his friends," according to court records.
他拒绝提供细节，并因公共场所醉酒被捕。萨顿和德林杰于晚上8点30分左右赶到警局为他保释，但被告知稍后再来。他们在晚上11点30分左右返回，带了一件法兰绒衬衫，据法庭文件记载。
He declined to give specifics and was arrested for public intoxication. Sutton and Dellinger showed up at the police station to bail him out around 8:30 p.m. and were told to come back later. They did at about 11:30 p.m., bringing a flannel shirt, according to court documents.
半小时后，目击者报告称在后来发现他尸体的区域听到了三声枪响。他头部遭受霰弹枪爆击。
A half-hour later, witnesses reported hearing three gunshots in the area where his body would later be found. He'd suffered a shotgun blast to the head.
律师、专家敦促田纳西州州长减刑克里斯塔·派克死刑，因执行死刑出现失误 第二天，格里芬的妹妹布拉纳姆与萨顿和德林杰一起去了豪伊藏身处。她告诉服务员她在找哥哥。她的尸体后来在被烧毁的车内被发现——烧得太严重，法医病理学家无法确定大火燃起时她是否还活着。侦探们确实回收了一颗.303口径弹壳，与在德林杰家中发现的步枪相匹配。
LAWYERS, EXPERTS URGE TENNESSEE GOVERNOR TO COMMUTE CHRISTA PIKE’S SENTENCE AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTION The next day, Griffin's sister, Branam, went to Howie's Hideaway with Sutton and Dellinger. She told the server she was looking for her brother. Her body was later found in her scorched car — so badly burned that the forensic pathologist could not determine whether she had been alive when the fire started. Detectives did recover a .303 cartridge that matched a rifle found at Dellinger's home.
萨顿的支持者批评该案证据属于间接证据。目前仍不清楚是谁枪杀了格里芬，以及布拉纳姆究竟是如何死亡的。
Sutton's supporters have criticized the case as circumstantial. It remains unclear who shot Griffin and how exactly Branam died.

DEATH ROW INMATE UNCONSCIOUS ON VENTILATOR AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTION FOR TEEN’S KILLING: ATTORNEYS While what's next for Pike remains unclear as she is in an undisclosed hospital for treatment following two doses of lethal injection drugs that failed to kill her, Lee said Carruthers would not face execution again for at least a year after his scheduled death in May was canceled.

Pike, who was hospitalized in critical condition, is the first person to have survived the administration of lethal injection drugs, according to the Death Penalty Information Center a nonprofit that tracks capital punishment across the U.S.
