PoliticsChrista Pike Scheduled for Execution in Tennessee on September 30
Christa Pike, convicted for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, is set to be executed on September 30 at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, Tennessee. Pike, who was 18 at the time of the crime, was sentenced to death for torturing and killing Slemmer, motivated by jealousy. Her clemency plea was denied by Governor Bill Lee, and the US Supreme Court rejected a last-minute stay petition. Pike's troubled past includes childhood abuse and PTSD.
