Her attorneys are challenging Tennessee\u2019s lethal-injection protocol, citing her medical conditions and concerns about severe complications, and have proposed alternatives including a central-line-first procedure or hanging. A judge recently rejected the challenge, but the Tennessee Supreme Court still has the final say, leaving Pike\u2019s execution date in place for now.<br \/>\nREAD BELOW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christa Gail Pike, 50, is scheduled to be executed by Tennessee on September 30, 2026, which would make her the first woman executed by the state in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
