Supreme Court clears way for Christa Pike's execution

Original: Supreme Court allows Christa Pike's execution

The US Supreme Court has allowed the state of 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 decision ends a stay, and attention is focused on the final steps toward her scheduled execution.

Why now: The Supreme Court's decision lifts a barrier to a rare execution of a woman, drawing broad national attention.
