Christa Pike set to be first woman executed in Tennessee in 200 years
Original: Christa Pike to be first woman executed in Tennessee in 200 years - but her defence say she's a victim too https://www.b
Christa Pike is due to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in two centuries. Her defence team argues she should be spared, saying she was herself a victim of abuse and circumstances. The case has drawn attention to the death penalty and how the justice system treats women convicted of violent crimes.
Why now: Her impending execution would be a historic first for Tennessee in 200 years, prompting debate over her defence's abuse claims.
