Tennessee governor denies Christa Pike clemency
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has denied clemency for death row inmate Christa Pike, who is scheduled for execution by lethal injection. Pike, convicted of murdering a fellow teen in 1995, would be the first woman in Tennessee to be executed in over 200 years if carried out. Her attorneys have filed a Supreme Court petition seeking a last-minute reprieve, arguing that she was a teenager at the time and suffers from mental health issues.
