The head of prisons in the US state of Tennessee is resigning after the failed execution of death row inmate Christa Pike on Wednesday.
美国田纳西州监狱长因周三处决死囚克里斯塔·派克失败而辞职。
Governor Bill Lee announced the change on Saturday, sharing the news in a joint statement with Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada.
州长比尔·李于周六宣布了这一变化，并在与田纳西州惩教署专员弗兰克·斯特拉达的联合声明中分享了这一消息。
Strada said that his stepping down is "in the best interests" of the state, and called the ongoing investigation into the incident "entirely appropriate and necessary".
斯特拉达表示，他的辞职符合国家“最大利益”，并称正在进行的事件调查“完全适当且必要”。
Pike, who was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer, survived two injections and is now in critical condition at a Tennessee hospital as her lawyers seek to commute her sentence.
派克于 1996 年因谋杀科琳·斯莱默 (Colleen Slemmer) 被判处死刑，两次注射后幸免于难，目前在田纳西州一家医院中情况危急，她的律师正在寻求减刑。
"Commissioner Strada has served with integrity, and I appreciate his willingness to put the interests of Tennesseans first during this difficult moment," Lee said.
李说：“斯特拉达专员一直诚信服务，我赞赏他愿意在这个困难时刻将田纳西州人民的利益放在第一位。”
Lee has ordered an independent review into Pike's attempted execution and he halted all executions in the state for the year.
李已下令对派克的处决进行独立审查，并暂停了该州今年的所有处决。
Attorney's for Pike called the resignation "justified" but said "it does nothing to help Christa now".
派克的律师称辞职“合理”，但表示“现在对克里斯塔没有任何帮助”。
"What happened to her Wednesday reflects a systemic failure that goes far beyond any one person," Pike's legal team wrote in a statement. "We hope the Governor's call for a full, independent review will expose the profound problems within Tennessee's entire death penalty system."
派克的法律团队在一份声明中写道：“周三发生在她身上的事情反映了远远超出任何一个人的系统性失败。” “我们希望州长要求进行全面、独立审查的呼吁能够揭露田纳西州整个死刑制度中的深刻问题。”
Pike is being treated at a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, where doctors are attempting to clear the drugs used during the execution from her body, according to legal filings.
根据法律文件，派克正在田纳西州纳什维尔的一家医院接受治疗，医生正试图清除她体内行刑时使用的药物。
She was injected with two lethal doses of pentobarbital on Wednesday but remained alive. She was then sent to hospital in an ambulance. While receiving the two doses, "she could be heard crying, whimpering, and breathing loudly throughout the procedure", her lawyers said.
周三，她被注射了两剂致命剂量的戊巴比妥，但仍然活着。 随后她被救护车送往医院。 她的律师说，在接受两剂药物时，“在整个过程中可以听到她哭泣、呜咽和大声呼吸”。
As of Thursday night, she was unconscious, intubated and on a ventilator.
截至周四晚上，她已经失去知觉，插管并使用呼吸机。
The state's Department of Correction has defended the method it used, saying "the protocol does not allow for additional procedures beyond what was carried out".
该州惩教部为其使用的方法进行了辩护，称“该协议不允许除已执行的程序之外的其他程序”。
Authorities have not yet said whether they will try again to execute Pike. They have also not offered an explanation for what went wrong. Her lawyers filed an emergency motion on Friday to preserve "any and all evidence" related to her failed execution.
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。 她的律师于周五提出了一项紧急动议，要求保存与她被处决失败有关的“所有证据”。
Pike's attorneys 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——意味着她有可能在注射死刑期间经历“不必要的”疼痛和痛苦。
The attempted execution went ahead after multiple failed, last-minute legal challenges by Pike's lawyers.
派克的律师在最后一刻提出多次法律挑战，但均以失败告终，因此处决行动继续进行。
The US Supreme Court rejected two separate efforts to stop the lethal injection.
美国最高法院驳回了两项旨在阻止注射死刑的努力。
Tennessee's governor also denied a clemency request from Pike, the only woman on the state's death row.
田纳西州州长还拒绝了派克的宽大请求，派克是该州死囚区中唯一的女性。
Pike was 18 when she and her then-boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, beat, tortured and killed 19-year-old Slemmer in 1995.
1995 年，18 岁的派克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。
She was sentenced to death the following year after a media frenzy around the killing in Knoxville, Tennessee.
次年，媒体对田纳西州诺克斯维尔的杀戮事件进行了疯狂报道，她被判处死刑。
