"We don't have a sense of her prognosis or much update on her health at the moment," her lawyer Randy Spivey told reporters on Thursday.
她的律师兰迪·斯皮维周四对记者说：“我们目前对她的预后或健康状况没有太多了解。”
"But we do know that that she is alive right now." Her lawyers are now asking for her sentence to be commuted.
“但我们确实知道她现在还活着。” 她的律师现在要求对她减刑。
Pike, 50, was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer. She was injected with two lethal doses of pentobarbital on Wednesday but remained alive, her lawyers said.
50 岁的派克于 1996 年因谋杀科琳·斯莱默而被判处死刑。 她的律师说，她周三被注射了两剂致命剂量的戊巴比妥，但仍然活着。
She was then sent to hospital in an ambulance. Pike was 18 when she and her then-boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, beat, tortured and killed 19-year-old Slemmer.
随后她被救护车送往医院。 派克 18 岁时，和她当时的男友塔达里尔·希普 (Tadaryl Shipp) 殴打、折磨并杀害了 19 岁的斯莱默。
Her attempted execution on Wednesday proceeded after multiple last-minute legal challenges by her lawyers had failed.
在她的律师在最后一刻提出的多次法律挑战失败后，周三她的处决尝试继续进行。
This culminated in the US Supreme Court allowing the lethal injections to go ahead. Slemmer's mother May Martinez, who was among those who wanted the execution to take place and who travelled to Tennessee to witness it, told NBC News after the botched attempt that "it was a mess".
最终美国最高法院允许注射死刑继续进行。 斯莱默的母亲梅·马丁内斯 (May Martinez) 是那些希望执行死刑的人之一，她前往田纳西州目睹了这一过程，她在这次失败的尝试后告诉 NBC 新闻，“这是一团糟”。
On Thursday afternoon, Pike's lawyers offered more details about what happened during the attempted execution, describing a harrowing scene shrouded in secrecy.
周四下午，派克的律师提供了有关尝试处决期间发生的更多细节，描述了一个笼罩在秘密之中的悲惨场景。
"Last night, the execution team attempted to establish an IV line for an hour," Spivey said.
“昨晚，执行小组试图建立一个小时的静脉输液管，”斯皮维说。
"I counted at least seven needles used in her left arm alone, one of which appeared to be bent when it was pulled from her arm after an unsuccessful attempt." Spivey said that observers were kept in a dark room behind a closed curtain, after the second lethal dose had been administered and "it was clear that Miss Pike was still breathing" minutes later.
“我数了一下，仅她的左臂就至少用了七根针，其中一根针在尝试不成功后从她手臂上拔出时似乎弯曲了。” 斯皮维说，在注射第二剂致命剂量后，观察员被关在一个紧闭的窗帘后面的暗室里，几分钟后“很明显派克小姐仍在呼吸”。
"No one knew what was going on behind that curtain," Spivey said.
“没有人知道幕后发生了什么，”斯皮维说。
"I had no idea when and if medical professionals began to assist." Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has ordered an independent review and said on Thursday the investigation into Pike's botched execution "will be thorough", adding that "it's going to take time".
“我不知道医疗专业人员何时以及是否开始提供帮助。” 田纳西州州长比尔·李已下令进行独立审查，并于周四表示，对派克执行不当的调查“将是彻底的”，并补充说“这需要时间”。
"There are a lot of questions," Lee said.
李说：“有很多问题。”
"The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered, and that's what this investigation is for." Lee has not made clear who will conduct the independent review of the state's execution procedures.
“我们州人民应该得到这些问题的答案，这就是这次调查的目的。” 李没有明确说明谁将对该州的执行程序进行独立审查。
His order to pause all executions will overlap with the planned 3 December execution of convicted murderer Gary Sutton.

In court filings, Pike's lawyers said she needed "life-saving measures" after her botched execution.

It said in a statement that it "followed every step of the State's lawful, established execution protocol approved by the attorney general's office".
它在一份声明中表示，它“遵循了总检察长办公室批准的国家合法、既定的执行协议的每一步”。
"The lethal injection chemical in the protocol has consistently been effective, and the protocol does not allow for additional procedures beyond what was carried out this evening."
“协议中的死刑注射化学物质一直有效，并且该协议不允许除今晚执行的程序之外的其他程序。”
Pike was given two doses of the chemical pentobarbital, as per state protocol when the first attempt fails, but was still alive afterwards, according to court filings.
根据法庭文件，当第一次尝试失败时，根据州协议，派克被注射了两剂化学戊巴比妥，但之后仍然活着。
"This execution is causing Ms Pike unnecessary agony and occurring in violation of his right to be executed free of cruel and unusual punishment," her lawyers said.
她的律师表示：“这次处决给派克女士带来了不必要的痛苦，并且侵犯了他不受残酷和不寻常惩罚的处决权利。”

"While there should be a thorough review of what happened and why the process failed, the answer is simple: bring back the electric chair," Blackburn said.
布莱克本说：“虽然应该对发生的事情以及过程失败的原因进行彻底审查，但答案很简单：恢复电椅。”
Democrat Jerri Green, Blackburn's opponent, criticised her for wanting to "bring back one of the most cruel forms of capital punishment".
布莱克本的对手、民主党人杰里·格林批评她想要“恢复最残酷的死刑形式之一”。
"As governor, I would put a moratorium on all future executions," Green said on X.
