Christa Pike is conscious and speaking after Tennessee failed execution, her attorneys say

Christa Pike, a Tennessee inmate who survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her, is awake and speaking as she receives treatment at a hospital, her attorneys said Tuesday.

“Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care. Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery,” attorneys for Pike said in a statement.

Her attorneys said they are grateful for the first responders and the medical team at the hospital “who treated Christa like a human and have provided exceptional care to her.”

The statement was the first indication that Pike has improved since an ambulance carried her away from a Nashville prison last Wednesday.

Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital as Tennessee officials attempted to put her to death.

田纳西州囚犯克丽斯塔·派克在田纳西州试图处决她时幸存下来，她的律师周二表示，她目前在医院接受治疗，已经苏醒并能说话。

“克丽斯塔·派克奇迹般地恢复了意识，能够说话，并继续接受关键的医疗护理。尽管她的手臂遭受了严重的损伤，但她仍然被铐着手铐和脚镣固定在床上。她的康复在医学上是前所未有的。她的预后尚不明确，但至少我们预计她需要很长时间才能康复，”派克的律师在一份声明中表示。

她的律师表示，他们感谢急救人员和医院的医疗团队，“他们像对待人一样对待克丽斯塔，并为她提供了卓越的护理”。

这是自上周三救护车将派克从纳什维尔监狱接走以来，派克病情好转的第一个迹象。

田纳西州官员试图对派克实施死刑，但她两次注射戊巴比妥钠后幸存了下来。
