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 the stay that blocked the execution of Christa Pike, allowing Tennessee to move forward with her death sentence. Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer. The ruling ends her latest legal delay, and attention now turns to whether state officials will set a new execution date.
Why now: A rare death penalty case involving a female inmate on Tennessee's death row is reaching a decisive legal milestone.
