After spending nearly 30 years on death row, Christa Gail Pike is set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years. Convicted of the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, Pike is scheduled to die by lethal injection. Her attorneys and death penalty opponents argue the execution could cause unnecessary suffering due to her medical conditions, including thrombocytopenia and small veins, which may complicate IV insertion. They cite previous failed executions as evidence of the risks. A judge will review whether the planned execution meets constitutional standards, renewing debate over lethal injection and capital punishment in the United States.
