Christa Pike execution looms as she claims childhood damage
Original: Time running out for Tennessee killer Christa Pike who says she's too damaged for death row
Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is running out of legal options as her execution approaches, with her lawyers arguing that severe childhood abuse and brain damage should bar the state from putting her to death. Pike, convicted of a 1995 murder, would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in decades if the sentence proceeds.
Why now: Her execution date is approaching and appeals over her mental health and abuse claims are drawing attention.
