The BBC has published a video explainer on how the failed execution of Christa Pike unfolded. Pike, convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow Tennessee prison inmate Colleen Slemmer, was the youngest woman sentenced to death in the United States at the time of her trial. Her 2020 execution attempt was halted after complications, and interest in her case has resurfaced among crime and true-crime audiences.
Why now: Renewed coverage of the rare failed execution in a long-running death row case has reignited public interest.
