The US Supreme Court overturned a last-minute stay, clearing the way for Tennessee inmate Christa Pike to be executed by lethal injection. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1996 murder of Colleen Slemmer. Three liberal justices dissented, saying her pending legal challenges had not been properly considered.

The US Supreme Court has allowed Christa Gail Pike’s execution in Tennessee to move forward. The justices said they want to examine whether her allegations of childhood sexual abuse and rape were fully considered before she was sentenced to death.
A federal appeals court has paused the execution of Christa Pike, 50, Tennessee’s only woman on death row. Pike was sentenced to death after being convicted of murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995.
A US federal appeals court temporarily halted Tennessee’s planned execution of death row inmate Christa Pike less than two hours before her lethal injection. The 6th Circuit is considering her claim that evidence of childhood sexual abuse was not properly weighed at sentencing. Tennessee has asked the Supreme Court to lift the stay.
A US federal court stayed the execution of 50-year-old Christa Pike just hours before it was scheduled at a maximum-security prison in Nashville. Her lawyers argued that proceedings had failed to consider sexual abuse she suffered as a child. The Tennessee Supreme Court had declined to intervene, and Governor Bill Lee rejected clemency.
A US appeals court briefly stayed the execution of death row inmate Christa Pike less than two hours before the lethal injection was scheduled. The court said it needed time to consider her claim that severe sexual abuse in her history had not been considered at sentencing.
Christa Pike, 50, has spent 30 years on death row for a murder committed when she was 18. Hours before her scheduled execution, a federal appeals court issued a temporary stay while it reviews her case. Tennessee’s attorney general is seeking to move ahead with the execution.
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Tennessee to proceed with Christa Gail Pike’s execution, overturning a last-minute stay issued by an appeals court just hours earlier on Wednesday.
The execution of Tennessee death-row inmate Christa Pike was halted an hour before it was scheduled. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said it needed more time to consider her case. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for murdering Colleen Slemmer.
A federal appeals court stopped Tennessee from carrying out Christa Pike’s execution about an hour before it was scheduled to begin.
Tennessee is set to carry out its first execution of a woman in more than 200 years, after the US Supreme Court rejected a last-minute appeal. Christa Pike, convicted of torturing and killing a classmate in 1995, has asked to be shot by an all-female firing squad instead of receiving lethal injection. Her lawyers cite trauma, mental illness and possible difficulties inserting an IV; the governor denied clemency, while UN experts urged commutation.
