Christa Pike Execution Draws Renewed Attention
Original: Christa Pike execution
Christa Pike, the only woman on death row in Tennessee, is the subject of renewed discussion around her execution. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 murder of fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville, making her the youngest woman in the US sentenced to death at the time. Discussion centres on her case, appeals and the prospect of her execution being carried out.
Why now: News of a scheduled execution date or a legal development in her long-running death penalty case has put her name back in the spotlight.
