据克里斯塔·派克的律师兰迪·斯皮维称,上周在田纳西州的一所监狱中经历了一场失败的死刑执行后,派克终于恢复了意识。
Christa Pike has regained consciousness after surviving a botched execution at a Tennessee prison last week, according to her lawyer, Randy Spivey.
在那次执行过程中,派克被注射了两次据称足以致命的戊巴比妥剂量,之后一度被认为脑死亡,原本计划为其撤除生命维持设备。
Pike survived two supposedly lethal doses of pentobarbital during the execution and was later believed to be brain dead. Her life support was expected to be withdrawn.
然而周二,派克出乎意料地苏醒过来并开始说话。据斯皮维介绍,她开口说的第一句话是:“我在哪里?你们是谁?”目前派克已知晓自己曾面临死刑执行,不过具体记得多少细节尚不清楚。斯皮维表示,她还需要经历漫长的康复过程。
But on Tuesday, Pike unexpectedly woke up and began talking, Spivey said. Her first reported words were: “Where am I and who are you?”Spivey said Pike is now aware that the state attempted to execute her, although it remains unclear how much she remembers. He said she faces a long road to recovery.
