https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QExeUVXOao?si=C4W3cGBI0CJq-suA The woman in the photo is Christa Gail Pike. She is currently the only woman on Tennessee's death row and, having been sentenced at just 20 years old, is often noted as the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S. The crime occurred in January 1995 when Pike was an 18-year-old attending a Job Corps program in Knoxville, Tennessee . Driven by jealousy involving her boyfriend, Pike and two accomplices (her boyfriend and another student) lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer into the woods. For over about 30 minutes, they tortured and beat Slemmer, carving a pentagram into her chest. Pike delivered the fatal blow by striking her skull with a chunk of asphalt . Prosecutors described it as an act of "extraordinarily brutal" cruelty. After nearly 30 years of appeals, Pike's execution is currently scheduled for September 30, 2026 . If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years . Though her lawyers are currently fighting the sentence through a clemency petition and a religious-liberty lawsuit regarding the lethal injection process. Do you think she should be executed?

A report even said she was a victim of child sexual abuse, multiple rapes, and parental abandonment and neglect and had first attempted to take her own life when she was twelve. She thereafter associated with bad and occultic people in her teenage years in school. I heard after committing the deed she was showing a piece of her victim's skull all around the school. Even in prison she was documented as being violent. Any person with that kind of childhood has a strong tendency to become deviant when growing up. |

Uncontrolled negative emotion caused all this. Just make sure you use the remaining days left to make peace with your Maker. |

In my opinion, she has already being prison for so long enough. Thus, a life sentence is more decent than killing. She was 18 years old acting on perhaps impulses. 30 years behind bars already in regret. |

What's the point keeping her for so long only to execute her now. She shouldn't be killed but given another punishment. |

She was young and naived then, I think she's now a changed person as adult. Her sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment. |

Even if she escapes execution, her productive life already shattered. Close to 50, will she start journey of life afresh? Will she be looking for job when she is supposed to be preparing for retirement? Start making babies when she is supposed to be granny. If you cannot control your emotions,(anger jealousy, love, hatred, bitterness), it would surely send you to where you don't like. I imagine what would be going on, in the mind Abudumutalub Farouk, son of Nigeria billionaire, servicing life jail in USA's prison now. |

| Re: Christa Pike: American Woman On Death Row To Be Executed September 30 by higgs: 11:25am On Sep 23 |
She definitely should be executed.People who don't value the lives of others should not expect their own lives to be valued by society. Rubbish |

People talk this way when they have nothing to lose. But if your own sister were the victim, would you still have reacted this way? It’s easy to speak carelessly when you’re not the one affected. Afriifa: |

She should still pay for the crime... Maybe life imprisonment, not a death sentence. |

Her actions was that of a very stupid child then, she has learnt her lessons, it's no use killing her! Let her work with the government to educate younger girls on the dangers of things that can get them into prisons! |
