Tennessee court halts execution of Christa Pike

Original: christa pike

A federal appeals court has paused the scheduled execution of Christa Pike, Tennessee's lone woman on death row, who was set to become the first woman executed in the state in about 200 years. Pike had also asked to die by firing squad rather than lethal injection. The reprieve has drawn international attention, with news of the case trending across Europe, Latin America and Australia.

Why now: A federal appeals court just halted what would have been Tennessee's first execution of a woman in two centuries.
