PoliticsChrista Pike to be executed in Tennessee, first woman in 200 years
Christa Pike, a death row inmate convicted of murdering a schoolmate in 1995, is scheduled for execution by lethal injection in Tennessee on September 30, 2026. She will be the first woman executed in the state in over two centuries and the only person executed in modern Tennessee for a crime committed as a teenager. The U.S. Supreme Court denied a last-minute stay. Pike's clemency petition citing childhood trauma was rejected by Governor Bill Lee.
