美国杀人犯克里斯塔·派克的律师周日表示,她的律师周日表示,在她被处决失败后,她仍然在医院病情危重,她的预后仍不清楚。
Speaking to CNN on Sunday morning, Pike's lawyer Stephen Ferrell said doctors were still trying to clear two doses of pentobarbital from her body.
周日早上,派克的律师斯蒂芬·费雷尔在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时表示,医生仍在试图从她体内清除两剂戊巴比妥。
Pike, 50, was sentenced to death following her conviction for murdering Colleen Slemmer in 1995.
50 岁的派克在 1995 年因谋杀科琳·斯莱默 (Colleen Slemmer) 被定罪后被判处死刑。
She survived two execution attempts on Wednesday, and was transferred to a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.
周三,她在两次处决中幸存下来,并被转移到田纳西州纳什维尔的一家医院。
Ferrell said: "She's still in the hospital, on a ventilator, critically ill, we really don't know the prognosis yet, and may not know for several days."
费雷尔说:“她还在医院里,靠着呼吸机,病情危重,我们真的还不知道预后,而且可能要好几天才能知道。”
He didn't believe she had regained consciousness at any point, adding that he has been receiving updates through her medical power of attorney rather than consulting directly with doctors.
他不相信她在任何时候都恢复了知觉,并补充说他一直通过她的医疗授权书接收最新消息,而不是直接咨询医生。
He has not been in to see her. "She is guarded. I'm not sure who may have seen her," he said.
他还没有进去看她。 “她受到戒备。 我不确定谁见过她,”他说。
Authorities have not yet said whether they will try again to execute Pike. They have also not offered an explanation for what went wrong. But Tennessee Governor Bill Lee suspended all executions for the rest of the year - and the head of prisons in the state said he would resign on Saturday.
当局尚未表示是否会再次尝试处决派克。 他们也没有对问题所在做出解释。 但田纳西州州长比尔·李暂停了今年剩余时间的所有处决,该州监狱长表示他将于周六辞职。
"If she recovers - she may not fully recover - and there may be issues about her competence. I mean, we just don't know any of this," Ferrell said. "We have had no discussions about this. The Tennessee attorney general's office so far has not given us any indications of what their intentions will be."
“如果她康复了——她可能不会完全康复——而且她的能力可能会出现问题。 我的意思是,我们对此一无所知,”费雷尔说。 “我们没有就此进行过讨论。 田纳西州总检察长办公室到目前为止还没有向我们表明他们的意图。”

"She has endured a torturous attempt at executing her," he said. "She's spent over 30 years in prison, most of that in solitary confinement." "We don't know right now - and we may never know - what sort of torture she endured during [her failed execution]."
他说:“她遭受了处决的痛苦尝试。” “她在监狱里度过了 30 多年,其中大部分时间都被单独监禁。” “我们现在不知道——而且我们可能永远不知道——她在[处决失败]期间遭受了什么样的折磨。”
Pike was 18 when she and her then-boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, beat, tortured and killed 19-year-old Slemmer in 1995.

The state's Department of Correction has defended the use of lethal injections, saying "the protocol does not allow for additional procedures beyond what was carried out".
该州惩教部为注射死刑的使用进行了辩护,称“该协议不允许除已执行的程序之外的其他程序”。
Pike's lawyers previously warned that her medical history and anatomy - including thrombocytosis (a blood-clotting condition) and small veins - meant there was a risk she would experience "unnecessary" pain and suffering during a lethal injection.
派克的律师此前警告说,她的病史和解剖结构——包括血小板增多症(一种血液凝固疾病)和小静脉——意味着她在注射死刑期间有可能经历“不必要的”疼痛和痛苦。
