Appeals court grants stay of execution for Christa Pike in Tennessee
Original: Appeals court grants Christa Pike a stay of execution in Tennessee https://www. upi.com/Top_News/US/2026/09/30 /christa-
A federal appeals court has stayed the execution of Christa Pike, who had been scheduled to be put to death Wednesday at 10 a.m. CDT in Tennessee. Pike, the only woman on the state's death row, had been awaiting execution, and the court's intervention halts the scheduled lethal injection while further legal proceedings continue.
Why now: The court's last-minute decision halts a scheduled execution of Tennessee's only female death row inmate, drawing attention to her long-running capital case.
