Supreme Court allows Christa Pike's execution to proceed

Original: Supreme Court allows Christa Pike's execution

The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for the execution of Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row. Pike was convicted in 1995 for the torture murder of fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. The decision ends, for now, her years of appeals, and the case is drawing wide attention because executions of women are rare in the United States.

Why now: The Supreme Court's ruling advances an execution that had been on hold through lengthy appeals, a rare case involving a female death-row inmate.
