Supreme Court clears Christa Pike execution in Tennessee
Original: US Supreme Court lifts stay; Christa Pike execution to proceed in Tennessee
The US Supreme Court has lifted a stay, allowing 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 student Colleen Slemmer at the University of Tennessee. The decision ends a temporary hold on her sentence and clears the way for Tennessee officials to set an execution date.
Why now: Pike would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in decades, drawing broad national attention to the case
