警告:本文包含读者可能会感到痛苦的细节 田纳西州死囚克里斯塔·派克(Christa Pike)的律师在法庭文件中称,当局未能以注射死刑的方式处决她,她于周四晚上失去知觉,插管并使用呼吸机。
Pike, 50, was injected with two lethal doses of pentobarbital on Wednesday but remained alive.

She was then sent to hospital in an ambulance. Pike remained critically ill and was being treated at a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.
随后她被救护车送往医院。 派克病情仍然危重,正在田纳西州纳什维尔的一家医院接受治疗。
Lawyers for Pike, who was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer, are seeking to have her sentence commuted after the failed execution attempt.
1996年,派克因谋杀科琳·斯莱默而被判处死刑,在处决失败后,派克的律师正在寻求减刑。
Pike's lawyers filed an emergency motion on Friday to preserve "any and all evidence" related to her botched execution.
派克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”。
Hospital staff are working to save her life and clear the drug - pentobarbital - from her system, the filing states.
文件称,医院工作人员正在努力挽救她的生命,并清除她体内的药物——戊巴比妥。
During the execution attempt, prison officials attempted to gain intravenous (IV) access by using at least seven needles on Pike, according to her lawyers.

"One needle was bent in a 90-degree angle when it was removed," the filing states.

“有一次,女士
Pike stated 'my arm feels like it's about to burst open" and at another asked "'does this happen like that?'" Pike's attorneys previously warned that her conditions, 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. In the latest filings, her lawyers allege that "at no point did any member of the execution team realise that the IV lines were not correctly placed or that the veins had blown and that the pentobarbital was, in whole or in part, entering Ms Pike's body".
派克表示“我的手臂感觉就像要裂开一样”,而另一位则问道:“事情是这样发生的吗?” 派克的律师此前警告说,她的病情,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。 在最新的文件中,她的律师声称,“执行小组的任何成员都没有意识到静脉输液管放置不正确,或者静脉已经破裂,戊巴比妥全部或部分进入了派克女士的身体”。
They are requesting that all relevant physical, written and electronic evidence is preserved.
他们要求保留所有相关的实物、书面和电子证据。
