Supreme Court rejects Pike appeal

Christa Pike, Tennessee's only female on death row, has lost her final appeal as the U.S. Supreme Court declined to stay her imminent execution scheduled for September 30. If carried out, she will be the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years and the 19th in U.S. history in recent decades. Pike was convicted of murdering a young woman in 1995, with her attorneys and advocacy groups arguing that her traumatic childhood and mental health issues should warrant clemency, but state officials have upheld her death sentence.
