田纳西州监狱长辞职：此前克丽丝塔·派克死刑执行失败引震动
纳什维尔——田纳西州州长比尔·李10月3日宣布，州惩教署署长弗兰克·斯特拉达将于本月辞职。这是自9月30日晚克丽丝塔·派克死刑执行失败后，州政府的首次重大人事变动。
9月30日晚，派克在纳什维尔的 Riverbend 最高安全级别监狱接受注射死刑，狱方注射了两剂戊巴比妥后她仍存活，随后被送往医院。这是田纳西州今年第二次执行失败——今年5月，对托尼·卡拉瑟斯的执行因医务人员一小时未能建立静脉通道而放弃。派克现年50岁，18岁时与男友虐待杀害了同学科琳·斯莱默，成为美国最年轻的女性死囚之一；若执行成功，她将是田纳西州200多年来首位被处决的女性。
州长李已下令由前联邦检察官埃德·斯坦顿牵头进行第三方全面审查，并叫停了2026年剩余的所有死刑执行。李称这次失败"是一场悲剧"，表示"人民值得更好的结果"。

Tennessee Prisons Chief Resigning After Failed Execution of Christa Pike
NASHVILLE — Governor Bill Lee announced on October 3 that Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada will step down this month, the first major staff shake-up since the stunning failed execution of Christa Pike on the night of September 30.
Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville and was transported to a hospital. It was the second failed execution in Tennessee this year — in May, the attempted execution of Tony Carruthers was abandoned after medical staff failed to establish IV access over the course of an hour. Pike, now 50, was 18 when she and her boyfriend tortured and killed classmate Colleen Slemmer, becoming one of the youngest women sent to death row; she would have been the first woman executed by Tennessee in more than two centuries.
Governor Lee ordered a comprehensive third-party review led by former U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton and called off the state's remaining scheduled executions for 2026. Lee called the failure "a tragedy," saying "the people deserve better."
