Execution of US murderer Christa Pike halted at the last minute

Original: Execution of US murderer Christa Pike halted shortly before it was due to happen

The execution of Christa Pike, convicted of murder in the United States, was halted shortly before it was scheduled to take place. Pike, the only woman on death row in Tennessee, was facing lethal injection when the pause was granted. Details on the court's reasoning and what happens next have not yet been made fully clear.

Why now: Last-minute reprieves in death penalty cases draw widespread attention, especially involving a high-profile female death row inmate.
