Tennessee to execute a woman for the first time in 200 years

A woman is set to be executed in Tennessee for the first time in 200 years: 50-year-old Christa Pike will be given a lethal injection in the coming days. She was sentenced 30 years ago for the murder of her high school classmate out of jealousy. At age 18, Pike brutally killed 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer along with accomplices and carved a satanic symbol on her body. She does not deny her guilt. Her lawyers argue the death penalty is excessive, as the crime was committed by a minor with untreated mental illness who had experienced childhood abuse.
