Lawyer Explains How Death Row Inmate Christa Pike Could Walk Free

Original: Human Rights Lawyer explains how Christa Pike could walk free after recovery

A human rights lawyer has laid out the legal argument that Christa Pike, the only woman on death row in Tennessee, could eventually be released. The claim centres on arguments about her mental state and recovery, which could support clemency or a reduced sentence. Pike was convicted in 1995 of the murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer, and her case has long drawn scrutiny over whether her execution should proceed.

Why now: Attention is resurfacing because new legal arguments about her mental capacity could spare her from execution or win her release.
