Supreme Court clears Tennessee execution of Christa Gail Pike
Original: U.S. Supreme Court allows Tennessee to carry out execution of Christa Gail Pike
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Tennessee to move forward with the execution of Christa Gail Pike, clearing the way for the state to carry out the death sentence. Pike was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow job corps student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville, a case that drew wide attention in part because Pike is the only woman on Tennessee's death row. News outlets in Nashville and beyond are covering the ruling.
Why now: A rare execution of a female death row inmate is set to proceed following a high-profile Supreme Court decision.
