The U.S. Supreme Court refused to halt the scheduled execution of Christa Pike, a 50‑year‑old inmate convicted in 1996 of murdering a teenage classmate. Her lawyers had argued that an 18‑year‑old brain cannot be held fully responsible, but the court denied the last‑minute petition. Governor Bill Lee had already rejected a clemency request, and Pike’s execution will occur at 11:00 EDT on Wednesday at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, marking the first female death in Tennessee in more than two centuries. The case also reignites debates over capital punishment and the treatment of young offenders.
