据报道，克里斯塔·派克问“我在哪里？”在经历了一场车祸近一周后，他在医院恢复了知觉拙劣的处决据她的一名律师称，她伤势严重，暂时依靠呼吸机。
她的律师说，50岁的派克在被注射两剂致命剂量的戊巴比妥后幸存下来，并在9月30日纳什维尔执行死刑失败后住院治疗，她继续接受医疗护理。
她的律师之一、田纳西州定罪后辩护人办公室的兰迪·斯皮维（Randy Spivey）周三告诉记者，她被认为已经脑死亡，并将于周二脱离生命支持系统，当时“令所有人震惊的是”，她醒来并开始说话。
斯皮维说，当她醒来时，他不在房间里，但他相信她说的第一句话是，“我在哪里，你是谁？”
“仍然有很多认知上的混乱，”斯皮维在新闻发布会上说。“我认为她现在对一切都很愤怒和困惑。”
斯皮维说，她知道州政府试图处决她，并询问了她的团队和受害者的家人。
派克的律师称她的康复是“医学上前所未有的”，并表示他们预计“康复之路漫长”据Spivey说，她患有肺炎，一只胳膊上有血块，她描述她的胳膊和手“非常肿胀”
“我们不知道她的手臂会恢复什么功能，如果有的话。但是我们知道前面还有很长的路要走，这只是所有这些所造成的物质损失。“我们和克里斯塔都没有开始考虑这对她的心理健康意味着什么。”
派克是田纳西州死囚区的唯一一名女性，她因1995年谋杀19岁的科琳·斯莱默而被判死刑。在一系列最后时刻的法律挑战之后，她试图通过注射处死。
她的律师周二表示，他们继续要求田纳西州州长比尔·李将她的刑期减为终身监禁，不得假释。
“我们非常感谢医院的急救人员和医疗团队对待克里斯塔喜欢人类和她的律师在周二的一份声明中说。我们也要感谢数千来自世界各地的人们发来信息为克里斯塔祈祷和支持。＂
田纳西州惩教署周二证实，派克仍在住院治疗，但表示由于联邦隐私法，无法提供她的医疗状况的细节。
派克的律师上周在戴维森县衡平法院提出了一项紧急动议，寻求一项命令，要求田纳西州矫正局保留与处决企图有关的所有相关的物理、书面和电子证据。法官批准动议在周三的听证会上。
根据该动议，派克在被注射两剂致命剂量的戊巴比妥时“可以听到哭泣、呜咽和大声呼吸”，有一次她说她的手臂“感觉就要裂开了。”至少有七根针被用来进行静脉注射，其中一根“在取出时弯曲了90度，”该动议称。
该动议将镇静药物戊巴比妥描述为“腐蚀性和高碱性”，并且“接触后会燃烧”。动议称，当派克被送到纳什维尔地区的医院时，她的双臂“肿胀、烧伤、起泡”。
该动议称，派克在计划执行死刑的前几个月提出了对致命注射的担忧，认为她的“血小板增多症、创伤后应激障碍和小静脉‘确定或很可能会有很大的风险，她将经历不必要和额外的痛苦、恐惧和耻辱，”。
在周三的动议听证会上，派克的律师之一、来自东田纳西州联邦辩护服务中心的卢克·伊宁（Luke Ihnen）表示，“根据我们对派克小姐目前状况的了解，诉状中提出的这些指控显然至少与拙劣的处决有关。”
根据死刑信息中心的报道，派克是第一个在接受药物注射后幸存下来的人，该中心的执行主任称这次失败的尝试是“我们见过的最糟糕的，不像现代其他任何拙劣的处决。”
在拙劣的处决之后，州长李下令暂时停止该州和田纳西州惩教署专员弗兰克·斯特拉达预定的处决顺从的．
州长办公室在一份声明中表示，它还任命前美国司法部长埃德·斯坦顿（Ed Stanton）对田纳西州惩教部的处决尝试进行独立审查，“将寻求确定协议是否得到遵守，并考虑是否有必要提出额外的建议，以确保该州的协议继续合法有效。”
“该州此前在2022年聘请斯坦顿对田纳西州的致命注射协议进行独立审查。他的工作促使州政府和司法部长办公室在恢复执行死刑之前对协议进行了实质性的修改，”声明进一步说道。
Christa Pike asked ＇Where am I？＇ upon regaining consciousness after botched execution： Attorney
Christa Pike reportedly asked ＂Where am I？＂ after regaining consciousness in a hospital nearly a week after abotched executionleft her critically injured and temporarily on a ventilator， according to one of her attorneys．
Pike， 50， continues to receive medical care after she survived being administered two lethal doses of pentobarbital and was hospitalized following the failed Sept． 30 execution in Nashville， her attorneys said．
She was believed to have been brain dead and that she was going to be taken off her life support on Tuesday， when ＂to the shock of everyone，＂ she woke up and started talking， one of her attorneys， Randy Spivey with the Tennessee Office of the Post Conviction Defender， told reporters Wednesday．
Spivey said he was not in the room at the time when she woke up， but he believes the first thing she said was， ＂Where am I and who are you？＂
＂There＇s still a lot of cognitive confusion，＂ Spivey said during a press briefing． ＂I think she is angry and confused about everything right now．＂
Spivey said she is aware that the state tried to execute her and has asked about her team and the victim＇s family．
Pike＇s attorneys described her recovery as ＂medically unprecedented＂ and said they expect a ＂long road to recovery．＂ She has pneumonia and a blood clot in one of her arms， according to Spivey， who described her arms and hands as ＂tremendously swollen．＂
＂We do not know what， if any， function she will regain in her arms． But we do know that there＇s a long road ahead， and that is just the physical toll that all of this has taken，＂ he said． ＂Neither we nor Christa have even begun to process what this means for her mental health．＂
Pike， the lone woman on Tennessee＇s death row， was sentenced to death after being convicted of the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer． Her attempted execution by lethal injection came after a series of last-minute legal challenges．
Her attorneys said Tuesday they continue to ask Tennessee Gov． Bill Lee to commute her sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole．
＂We are incredibly grateful to the first responders and the medical team at the hospital whotreatedChrista like ahumanandhave provided exceptional care to her，＂ her attorneys said in a statement Tuesday． ＂We also want to thankthousandsfrom all over the world who sent messages offering prayers and support for Christa．＂
The Tennessee Department of Correction confirmed Tuesday that Pike remains hospitalized but said it could not provide details of her medical condition due to federal privacy laws．
Pike＇s attorneys filed an emergency motion in Davidson County Chancery Court last week seeking an order requiring the Tennessee Department of Correction to preserve all relevant physical， written and electronic evidence related to the execution attempt． A judgegranted the motionduring a hearing on Wednesday．
According to the motion， Pike ＂could be heard crying， whimpering， and breathing loudly＂ while being administered two lethal doses of pentobarbital， at one point stating that her arm ＂feels like it＇s about to burst open．＂ At least seven needles were used to gain IV access， with one ＂bent in a 90-degree angle when it was removed，＂ the motion stated．
The motion described pentobarbital， a sedating medication， as being ＂caustic and highly alkaline＂ and that it ＂burns upon contact．＂ Both of Pike＇s arms were ＂swollen， burned， and blistered＂ when she arrived at a Nashville-area hospital， the motion stated．
Pike had raised concerns about a lethal injection in the months prior to her scheduled execution， arguing that her ＂thrombocytosis， post traumatic stress disorder and small veins ＇make it sure or very likely that there is a substantial risk that she will experience unnecessary and superadded pain and suffering， terror， and disgrace，＇＂ the motion stated．
During Wednesday＇s hearing on the motion， one of Pike＇s attorneys， Luke Ihnen from the Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee， said that ＂based on what we know about Miss Pike＇s current condition， these allegations that were made in the complaint certainly appear to be at least related to the botched execution．＂
Pike is the first person reported to have survived lethal injection after being given medications， according to the Death Penalty Information Center， whose executive director referred to the failed attempt as ＂the worst we＇ve ever seen and unlike any other botched execution in the modern era．＂
In the wake of the botched execution， Gov． Lee ordered a temporary halt to scheduled executions in the state and Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Stradaresigned．
The governor＇s office said in a statement that it has also appointed former U．S． Attorney Ed Stanton to conduct an independent review of the Tennessee Department of Correction＇s execution attempt that ＂will seek to determine whether the protocol was followed and consider whether additional recommendations are necessary to ensure the State＇s protocol continues to be lawful and effective．＂
＂The State previously retained Stanton in 2022 to conduct an independent review of Tennessee＇s lethal injection protocol． His work prompted the State and Attorney General＇s Office to substantially rewrite the protocol before executions resumed，＂ the statement further said．
