Tennessee Prepares to Execute Christa Pike, First Woman in 200 Years

Original: christa pike

Tennessee is set to execute Christa Pike, who would become the first woman put to death in the state in more than 200 years. The US Supreme Court denied her final bid for a stay, leaving her out of appeals. Pike, the lone woman on Tennessee's death row, says she is at peace and has asked to die by firing squad rather than lethal injection.

Why now: Her execution is imminent after the Supreme Court rejected her last appeal, making it an extremely rare case of a woman facing execution in the US.
