Christa Pike set for execution after Supreme Court denies appeal
Original: Christa Pike set to be executed after SCOTUS denies appeal
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Christa Pike, clearing the way for her execution. Pike, who was convicted of the 1995 murder of a fellow student in Tennessee, would be the state's first female execution in decades. The denial closes a major legal avenue and leaves her facing an imminent execution date.
Why now: The Supreme Court's denial of her appeal removes a key legal barrier, making her execution imminent.
