Original: I've seen nearly 500 executions - but never one like Christa Pike's https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6d949gq47x9o?at
A veteran witness of nearly 500 US executions says the upcoming execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee is unlike any he has attended. Pike, convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville, is the only woman on Tennessee's death row, and her case is drawing attention over its unusual circumstances and the approaching execution date.
