Supreme Court clears Tennessee to execute Christa Gail Pike

Original: U.S. Supreme Court allows Tennessee to carry out execution of Christa Gail Pike

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to block the execution of Christa Gail Pike, allowing Tennessee to proceed with putting her to death. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. News of the court's decision is drawing widespread attention and debate over the death penalty.

Why now: A rare execution of a female death row inmate, cleared by the Supreme Court, is a major criminal justice story.
