Christa Pike has been granted stay of execution by lethal injection shortly before it was scheduled to happen.
On death row for 30 years, Pike was set to become the first woman to be executed by the state of Tennessee in over 200 years.

For those feeling sorry and protesting Christa Pike’s execution tomorrow, this is what she did 30 years ago.
The picture is Christa Pike at 18.
She lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer into the woods because she thought the girl was after her boyfriend. She and that boyfriend then tortured her - beating her, cutting her, carving a pentagram into her chest, slashing her throat as Colleen begged for her life - and Christa smashed her head with a rock. Pike kept a piece of Colleen’s skull and showed it off later.
The 17-year-old boyfriend got life. Pike got death. After 30 years, Tennessee is set to carry it out tomorrow. That’s what she did. That’s why she’s on the list.
Justice finally for Colleen Slemmer tomorrow.
