A federal court on Wednesday had ordered a pause on the execution of Christa Pike, convicted of the murder of a classmate in 1995, just hours before she was set to die by lethal injection in Nashville.
Christa Pike could be the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years. Her supporters say she has changed in isolation; her victim’s family wants her to die.
