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 the state of Tennessee to proceed with the execution of Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row. Pike was convicted of the 1995 murder of fellow student Colleen Slemmer at the University of Tennessee. The decision removes the last federal obstacle, and execution will move forward unless further legal challenges succeed.
Why now: A rare execution of a female inmate in Tennessee is imminent after the Supreme Court's intervention, drawing widespread public and media attention.
