Tennessee's first woman execution in over 200 years

The execution of Christa Pike’s death sentence has been approved in the state of Tennessee, making her the first woman to be executed in the state in over 200 years. She was sentenced to death in 1996 for killing a 19-year-old man in 1995. Pike suffered from mental health disorders such as bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, and experienced violence and rape during her childhood. The Supreme Court lifted the stay of execution and approved carrying out the sentence, amid international calls to halt the execution. Pike expressed remorse after years of psychological suffering.
