田纳西女死囚 Pike 两次注射未死，州长下令调查
【纳什维尔讯】9 月 30 日夜间，田纳西州女死囚克里斯塔·派克（Christa Pike）的死刑执行出现重大意外：两次注射均未能致其死亡。据 KFF 等媒体 10 月 1 日报道，州长比尔·李（Bill Lee）已下令对事件展开调查，执行程序暂停。
派克因 1995 年谋杀罪被判死刑，是田纳西州死刑名单上羁押时间最长的女囚之一。目击者称，行刑人员两次尝试静脉注射均未成功，派克在过程中保持清醒。
州长李在声明中表示，事件暴露出行刑程序的严重问题，在调查完成前不会重启执行。反死刑组织称此事凸显注射死刑的残酷与不可靠；支持死刑的受害者家属则表达愤怒与失望。
田纳西州此前已因药物与程序争议多次推迟执行。此次调查结果预计将影响全州死刑政策走向。

Christa Pike Survives Two Lethal Injections; Governor Orders Probe
[NASHVILLE] The execution of Tennessee death-row inmate Christa Pike went drastically wrong on the night of September 30: two successive lethal injections failed to kill her, media including KFF reported October 1. Gov. Bill Lee has ordered an investigation and halted the execution process.
Pike, sentenced to death for a 1995 murder, is one of the longest-serving women on Tennessee's death row. Witnesses said execution staff twice failed to establish intravenous access, with Pike remaining conscious throughout.
Gov. Lee said in a statement the incident exposed grave problems in the execution protocol and no execution will resume until the investigation is complete. Anti-death-penalty groups said the episode underscores the cruelty and unreliability of lethal injection; victims' families who support capital punishment voiced anger and disappointment.
Tennessee had already delayed executions multiple times over drug and procedural disputes. The investigation's findings are expected to shape the state's death-penalty policy.
