A Tennessee judge has ruled that evidence related to Christa Pike's scheduled execution must be preserved. Pike, convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer, is the only woman on death row in Tennessee, and her case has drawn attention amid debates over the state's execution protocols. The order comes as legal challenges over the death penalty continue in the state.
Why now: The ruling arrives amid ongoing legal fights over Tennessee's death penalty and Pike's status as the state's sole female death row inmate.
