Here is what the page “Christa Pike, Only Woman on Tennessee Death Row, Walking After Botched Execution Attempt, ” contains. Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, is now walking around her hospital room after surviving a failed execution attempt, according to her lawyer. Pike was convicted of the 1995 torture and murder of Colleen Slemmer when she was 18. She was scheduled to be executed on April 9, 2025, but the execution was halted after officials were unable to establish IV lines for the lethal injection. This marks the second time Pike has faced an execution date;
a previous attempt in 2020 was also called off. Her lawyer told the BBC that Pike is recovering and mobile, which raises new legal questions about whether the state can set another execution date. The case has drawn national attention to Tennessee's execution protocols and the broader debate over capital punishment, especially for crimes committed by young adults.
