一名曾参与调查那起导致克里斯塔·派克被判死刑的谋杀案的田纳西州前警察局长回忆说，这名已被定罪的杀人犯在向调查人员描述罪行时“冷酷无情”，而且“几乎带着一种兴奋”。与此同时，州长比尔·李表示，在派克经历一次未成功的处决而幸存后，她的死刑判决不太可能改变。
A former Tennessee police chief who investigated the murder that sent Christa Pike to death row recalled the convicted killer being "ruthless" and "almost giddy" while describing the crime to investigators, as Gov. Bill Lee signaled her death sentence is unlikely to change after she survived a failed execution.
50岁的派克在9月30日田纳西州试图以注射死刑处决她时幸存下来，此后已返回监狱，这引发了外界对该州是否会再次尝试将她处死的疑问。
Pike, 50, survived Tennessee's attempt to execute her by lethal injection on Sept. 30 and has since returned to prison, raising questions about whether the state could attempt to put her to death again.
李在周三谈及派克的命运时表示，根据田纳西州法律，她仍在服刑。“我猜想，除非法院另有裁定，她的刑期将与之前相同，”李说。
Lee addressed Pike's fate Wednesday, saying she remains incarcerated under Tennessee law. "I suspect her sentence will be the same as it was before unless determined otherwise by the courts," Lee said.
州长发表上述言论之际，派克的律师已呼吁李在此次处决失败后，将她的死刑减为不得假释的终身监禁。
The governor's comments come as Pike's attorneys have called on Lee to commute her death sentence to life without parole following the failed execution.
派克因1995年谋杀19岁的科琳·斯莱默而被判处死刑。斯莱默是诺克斯维尔一个联邦“职业训练团”项目的参与者，与派克同为该项目成员。
Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow participant in a federal Job Corps program in Knoxville.
曾参与调查的前诺克斯维尔警察局长菲尔·基思近日在《纽约邮报》纪录片《毫不留情：克里斯塔·派克揭秘》中回忆了派克在接受有关这起杀人案讯问时的神态。
Former Knoxville Police Chief Phil Keith, who was involved in the investigation, recently recalled Pike's demeanor while she was being questioned about the killing in the New York Post documentary "No Mercy: Christa Pike Unraveled."
“我听到的是一个冷酷无情、毫无悔意、几乎带着兴奋的人，”基思说。“你知道，她在描述发生的事情时，几乎给人一种她在炫耀的感觉。”
"I heard somebody that was ruthless, without any remorse, almost giddy," Keith said. "You know, she was describing what took place, like, almost the sense that she was bragging about it."
基思向福克斯新闻数字频道证实了这些言论，称其“完全准确”。他用两个词形容派克：“纯粹的邪恶。”基思还回忆说，派克在返回职业训练团后曾公开谈论这起杀人案。
Keith confirmed the comments to Fox News Digital, calling them "spot on." He described Pike in two words: "Pure evil." Keith also recalled Pike openly talking about the killing after returning to the Job Corps.
基思在纪录片中说：“派克回来后，你知道，她立刻就要表达她杀害科琳的喜悦。然后第二天在课堂上，她又吹嘘起来，谈论她是怎么杀死科琳的。她还展示了她那双沾有血迹的鞋子。”派克当时18岁，她17岁的男友塔达里尔·希普和19岁的沙多拉·彼得森因杀害斯莱默而受到指控。法庭记录显示，当时四人都在参加“就业军团”项目。
"Pike, when she got back, you know, immediately had to express her joy with killing Colleen," Keith said in the documentary. "And then the very next day in class, she bragged again, talking about how she killed Colleen. She showed her shoes that had blood on them." Pike was 18 when she, her 17-year-old boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, and 19-year-old Shadolla Peterson were charged in Slemmer's killing. All four were participating in the Job Corps at the time, court records show.
三人将斯莱默带到田纳西大学诺克斯维尔校区一处偏僻的地方，在那里她的喉咙被割了多刀，头部被一大块沥青击中，胸口被刻上一个五角星。根据法庭记录，派克后来供认了自己在杀人案中的角色。
The three took Slemmer to a secluded area on the University of Tennessee's Knoxville campus, where her throat was cut multiple times, she was struck in the head with a large piece of asphalt and a pentagram was carved into her chest. Pike later confessed to her role in the killing, according to court records.
基思说，案发现场的残忍程度甚至令资深凶杀案调查人员感到震惊。
Keith said the brutality of the crime scene shocked even veteran homicide investigators.
基思在《华盛顿邮报》的纪录片中说：“我习惯于看到那种血腥场面，可以这么说。但那种残忍程度是不同的。”他补充说：“你知道，那视觉场景，实在太令人震惊了。”
"I was accustomed to seeing that kind of gore, if you will. But the brutality was different," Keith said in the Post documentary. "You know, the visual scene of it, it was so shocking," he added.
派克于1996年被定罪并被判处死刑，田纳西州最高法院后来维持了对她的定罪和判决。
Pike was convicted and sentenced to death in 1996, and the Tennessee Supreme Court later affirmed her convictions and sentence.
在拙劣处决一周后，三十多年后，田纳西州于9月30日试图执行这一判决，此前美国最高法院撤销了美国第六巡回上诉法院在最后一刻发布的暂缓执行令。在派克接受了两剂戊巴比妥后，处决尝试失败，她被送往医院。
A WEEK AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTIONMore than three decades later, Tennessee attempted to carry out that sentence on Sept. 30 after the U.S. Supreme Court vacated a last-minute stay issued by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The execution attempt failed after Pike received two doses of pentobarbital, and she was taken to a hospital.
她有数日一直处于昏迷状态，她的律师一度认为她已经脑死亡，并预计她将被撤除生命维持系统。派克后来恢复了意识，并在被送回监狱之前出院。她的律师此后表示，她能够行走，并能说出完整的句子。在执行尝试失败后，李暂停了田纳西州当年剩余的死刑执行，并下令对出错原因进行独立审查。派克的律师主张，她不应再被施以另一次执行尝试。争取减刑的努力早于这次失败的执行。
She remained unconscious for days, and her attorneys at one point believed she was brain-dead and expected her to be taken off life support. Pike later regained consciousness and was discharged from the hospital before being returned to prison. Her attorneys have since said she is able to walk and speak in full sentences. Following the execution attempt, Lee halted Tennessee's remaining executions for the year and ordered an independent review of what went wrong. Pike's attorneys have argued she should not be subjected to another execution attempt. The push for commutation predates the failed execution.
在2021年向田纳西州最高法院提交的一份文件中，派克的律师寻求减刑证明，理由是她杀害斯莱默时的年龄，以及她童年创伤、精神疾病和脑损伤的病史。
In a 2021 filing with the Tennessee Supreme Court, Pike's attorneys sought a certificate of commutation, pointing to her age at the time of Slemmer's murder as well as her history of childhood trauma, mental illness and brain damage.
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了派克的律师和李的办公室以寻求更多评论，并联系了基思以确认其言论的背景。
Fox News Digital reached out to Pike's attorneys and Lee's office for additional comment, and to Keith to confirm the context of his remarks.
