Christa Pike execution case draws renewed attention
Original: Christa Pike execution case
Discussion has resurfaced around Christa Pike, the Tennessee woman convicted of murdering fellow student Colleen Slemmer in 1995, the only woman on the state's death row. Her case has drawn attention for years over her age at the time of the crime, mental health claims and the length of her appeals. Commenters are debating whether her execution should proceed and what it says about capital punishment for women in the United States.
Why now: Developments or renewed debate in her long-running death penalty case have put the potential execution back in public discussion.
