Supreme Court clears way for Christa Pike's execution

Original: Supreme Court clears way for Christa Pike's execution after last-minute stay

The US Supreme Court has lifted a last-minute stay, clearing the way for Tennessee to proceed with the execution of Christa Pike, the only woman on the state's death row. Pike was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow Job Corps student Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. The ruling removes the final legal barrier, allowing the scheduled execution to move forward while supporters and death penalty opponents continue to contest her sentence.

Why now: The Supreme Court's decision to lift the stay sets up an imminent and rare execution of a woman on death row.
