They should have kept injecting her until there was no pulse. Shes an evil vile demon who needs/deserves death. Nothing else.

If you're sentenced to death, it shouldn't matter if it takes more than one attempt.

Tina B 🇺🇸3 days ago

Nope, find another way to execute her, Christa brutally committed murder. Then while in prison tried to kill another woman and tried to escape prison on another occasion She deserves the death penalty, hanging or firing squad

“the bitch wouldn’t die” - CHRISTA PIKE A friend, Kim, told police that Pike described the killing while laughing and said something like “the bitch wouldn’t die” and that she had cut the victim’s throat multiple times but she still did not die.

I know I’m not an expert on lethal injections, but I believe she dehydrated herself to where she didn’t have any veins available. That’s why she wanted lethal injection.

Zero surprises. She wasn’t concerned with Colleen’s agonizing death. As for being in confinement for twenty years she’s attempted murder and escape. Happens to men too. She’s not easy to feel sorry for.

Was Colleen's death commuted? Did Colleen die easily? Pike had 30+ yrs to come to terms with her future and to express remorse. She released a letter, showed no remorse, admitted no guilt. Also, she tried to kill someone else in prison.

Pike, who was convicted of a 1995 murder, was slated to be the first woman executed in Tennessee in the last 200 years after the Supreme Court ruled that her execution could proceed.

CHRISTA PIKE'S LAWYERS NOW WANT HER DEATH SENTENCE COMMUTED AFTER THE BOTCHED EXECUTION. They say she's suffered more than anyone in the history of the American death penalty. Her victim was a teenage girl who was reportedly beaten to death, and Pike was accused of keeping a piece of her skull as a souvenir. A jury heard the evidence, convicted her, and decided death was the right punishment for what she did. Nobody in that courtroom is talking about the pain that young girl went through or what her family has carried for decades. Tennessee can fix the process, but it shouldn't let a failed execution wipe out a jury's verdict.

30 years on death row: execution of brutal murderer canceled at the last moment A US court suspended the execution of 50-year-old Christa Pike just hours before the sentence was to be carried out. She was set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in the past 200 years, The New York Times reports. Pike was sentenced to death for the particularly brutal murder of her classmate. Pike lured the woman into the woods, where she and her boyfriend slashed her with a knife and a cleaver, and then killed her with a piece of asphalt. A pentagram was also carved into the victim’s body. The defense is seeking a review of the sentence. Her attorneys argue that the jury was told almost nothing about Pike’s troubled childhood at trial. According to them, she was sexually abused and attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Pike spent around 30 years on death row. If the sentence is ultimately carried out, she will have to choose between lethal injection and the electric chair. Archive footage

Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row, received two doses of a lethal drug in a Nashville execution chamber Wednesday night. But she didn't die. Now, she is alive in a hospital and receiving "lifesaving medical care," according to her attorney. The extent of Pike's injuries after the failed execution was unclear. Although her survival was "unparalleled," as one expert said, it was the latest example of a botched execution attempt involving lethal injections in Tennessee and elsewhere around the United States. @skylerhenry reports.

Christa Pike was supposed to become the first woman executed by Tennessee in more than 200 years. Instead, something happened that has put her case back at the center of the news. On Wednesday, Tennessee attempted to execute Pike by lethal injection for the 1995 murder of 19 year old Colleen Slemmer. But according to witnesses, officials administered two doses of the lethal drug and still could not complete the execution. Pike remained alive and was taken from the prison by ambulance. The attempt came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Tennessee to proceed, overturning a last minute stay. Now the biggest question is what happens next after an execution that never actually happened. Was this a medical failure, or could it trigger another legal battle?

NEW: Murderer who had his death sentence commuted by President Biden is now demanding he be released from prison. Brandon Council was sentenced to death after killing two bank employees in 2017. Council says *he* is the victim of "psychological harm" and is demanding a "compassionate release." "The petitioner's subjection to torture is the subsequent result of the petitioner's sentence to death, however, the additional punishment of solitary confinement which is the cause of the psychological harm is in no manner statutorily authorized, mandated, or required by the petitioner's sentence to death," his motion reads. Council was sentenced to death in 2019 (video below) after killing 36-year-old Katie Skeen and 59-year-old Donna Major, in Conway, South Carolina during an armed bank robbery.

BREAKING: “I’ve witnessed, I believe, 5 executions in Tennessee. Nothing about today was normal, typical at all.” Shocking new details emerge from the failed attempt to execute Christa Pike, the 50-year-old inmate who has spent nearly 30 years on Tennessee’s death row. At a news conference following the attempted execution, media witnesses are now revealing more about what Pike was saying and what they heard as the process unfolded. “The vein in my arm feels like it’s about to burst open,” Pike told her spiritual adviser during the process. Officials administered two syringes of pentobarbital, but Pike still had a heartbeat and was snoring after receiving the drugs, according to an emergency court filing from her attorneys. One witness described the sound as if Pike was “almost choking.” “She was clearly still alive. She was clearly still breathing.” The curtains inside the execution chamber went down twice as the process unfolded, and Tennessee officials ultimately were unable to complete the execution. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. She was 18 at the time of the killing.

Breaking: Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee has ordered all death row executions to be put on hold after the state failed for the second time in 5 months to execute a death row inmate. Christa Pike is still alive and currently in the hospital after receiving two lethal injections. Witnesses in the room report that Pike could be heard snoring and gasping for air for more than an hour after the lethal injections were administered. At one point she screamed that there was a spot in her arm that was “burning and felt like it was about to burst open.” This is barbaric and inhumane especially considering research indicates capital punishment does not deter crime more effectively than life in prison. Abolish the death penalty.

Christa Pike is scheduled to be executed today. But before you read about the crime that put her on death row, you need to know the story of the girl she was before she became a name on death row. Christa Pike was 18 years old when 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was murdered in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1995. Today, almost 31 years later, Tennessee is preparing to execute her by lethal injection. If carried out, she would become the first woman Tennessee has executed in more than 200 years. But Christa’s story didn’t begin with murder. According to evidence submitted during her recent clemency effort, Christa had already experienced years of horrific abuse before she was even a teenager. Her attorneys say she was sexually abused as a young child by her grandmother’s boyfriend. When she was 11, she was raped by a neighbor.

Christa Pike's execution was halted and she was taken to hospital when she was still showing signs of life after receiving two lethal injections. Governor Bill Lee said he was "highly disappointed". 50-year-old Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 aged 18 for murdering her 19-year-old schoolmate Colleen Slemmer. Including Pike, there are 40 people currently on death row in the state of Tennessee. It is the second failed attempt to execute someone in the U.S. state this year, after prison officials failed to find a suitable vein for the lethal injection of inmate Tony Carruthers, who was also convicted of murder.

Who is Christa Pike, the woman set to be executed on death row? An appellate court has halted the execution of Christa Pike less than an hour before she was set to die by lethal injection. The Times previously sent questions to Pike’s lawyers, who facilitated the interview with her in person on September 24, at the Debra K Johnson Rehabilitation Center, a maximum-security facility in Nashville. Pike, 50, said: “I feel a kinship with Lindsay. We are both females who got into trouble because of uniquely female issues. One thing is different, however, is that times have changed a lot on awareness of women’s issues since I was put on trial."
