Christa Pike, 50, is set to be executed on September 30, becoming the first woman to face the death penalty in Tennessee in over 200 years. Pike was convicted for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Her lawyers argue that her history of sexual abuse and neglect as a child should warrant clemency, but the state maintains the death penalty. Pike has requested an all-female execution team to avoid being restrained by men, which would trigger traumatic memories.
