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 allowed Tennessee to proceed with the execution of Christa Gail Pike, rejecting a last-minute intervention in her case. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow Knoxville Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer. The ruling ends her current stay, and the state can move forward with the scheduled execution.

Why now: The high court's decision to let a scheduled execution of Tennessee's only female death row inmate proceed is a major, imminent death penalty development.
