On 30 September, the state of Tennessee plans to put Christa Pike to death. She would be the third person brought to the death chamber(死刑执行室) in the Volunteer state(田纳西州的别称) this year, one of which was stopped after it was botched(搞砸的,笨拙的).
9月30日,田纳西州计划将克里斯塔·派克处死。她将成为该州今年第三名被送进死刑室的人,其中一次执行因操作失误而被叫停。
She would join(加入,成为…的一员) 17 others who have been put to death there since 1960. None of them were women.
她将加入自1960年以来在该州被处决的17人行列,其中没有一名女性。
In fact(事实上,实际上) in all of US history, only 578 women have been executed(处决,执行死刑), a little more than 3% of our country’s total. The last one was Amber McLaughlin, killed in Missouri in 2024. If Pike is killed, it would be Tennessee’s first execution of a woman since 1819.(如果派克被处死,这将是田纳西州自1819年以来首次处决女性。)
事实上,在美国整个历史上,仅有578名女性被处决,略高于全国总数的3%。最近一位是2024年在密苏里州被处死的安珀·麦克劳林。如果派克被处死,这将是田纳西州自1819年以来首次处决女性。
