The Tennessee Supreme Court on Tuesday set execution dates for four people, including the only woman in the state on death row.

Christa Pike received the death sentence at age 18 for the 1995 torture slaying of Colleen Slemmer, who was a fellow Knoxville Job Corps student. Slemmer, 18, was stabbed and beaten by Pike and Tadaryl Shipp, Pike’s boyfriend at the time, on the University of Tennessee’s Agricultural campus.


They carved a pentagram into Slemmer’s chest, and investigators claimed Pike took a piece of the victim’s skull for a souvenir. Shipp, of Memphis, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Pike was also convicted in 2004 for trying to strangle a fellow inmate during a prison fight, which added 25 years to her sentence.

In my mind the unethical thing is the delayed justice/execution.
With time and treatment ... Christa has become a thoughtful woman with deep remorse for her crime,” a Wednesday statement from her attorneys reads.

That's an excellent way for her to meet her Maker, with true feelings of penitence and remorse.

She's actually quite attractive. Who could imagine the monster lurking beneath?

Omg I don't get it. What do you consider attractive, then? Does a woman have to look like Scarlet Johansson before you will call her hot?

You left this part out:

Pike suffered physical and sexual abuse and neglect as a child, according to her attorneys. She also suffered from bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders that were not diagnosed until years after her arrest.

Why would you do that? Do you enjoy the idea of people being ritualistically killed by the state regardless of any mitigating factors? I think it's just your blood lust and morbid obsession

What? She is kind of attractive dude what are you talking about?

She’s OK.

I’d give her a 6.

This.

I mean, I can sort of, sort of, see the point of killing someone. But torturing them, too? There is no excuse in the entire world for cruelty like that.
