Christa Pike execution proceeds amid botched procedure claims

Original: what did christa pike do to be executed

Christa Pike, convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer in Tennessee, became the centre of attention as her execution was carried out, reportedly in a botched procedure that left the death row inmate 'angry and confused', according to The Times. Pike had been the youngest woman sentenced to death in the United States, and her case drew years of appeals and public debate over her sentencing.

Why now: Her execution, and reports it was botched, have renewed public attention to one of America's longest-running death penalty cases involving a woman.
