Christa Pike could walk free, human rights lawyer argues

Original: Human Rights Lawyer explains how Christa Pike could walk free after recovery

A human rights lawyer says Christa Pike, the only woman on death row in Tennessee, could be released after a court-ordered review of her case. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer. The lawyer argues her intellectual disability claim could lead to her death sentence being overturned, and possibly to freedom.

Why now: A court ruling on Pike's intellectual disability claim has revived debate over whether her death sentence, and potentially her conviction, could be undone.
