Supreme Court clears Christa Pike execution to proceed

Original: Supreme Court allows execution of Christa Pike to go forward

The US Supreme Court has allowed the execution of Christa Pike to move forward, refusing to block the process. Pike, the only woman on death row in Tennessee, was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer. The decision ends a latest chapter in decades-long appeals, and the case is drawing attention as an uncommon example of a female death row inmate nearing execution.

Why now: The Supreme Court's ruling clears the way for a rare execution of a woman, prompting widespread coverage and debate about capital punishment.
