On Tuesday, the Supreme Court refused to intervene in the case of Christa Pike, a Tennessee inmate condemned for the 1995 killing of a teenage classmate. The decision removes the final legal obstacle, allowing the state to proceed with what will be its first execution of a woman in two centuries.
Pike, now 50, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.

The Supreme Court’s refusal seems final. One hopes the legal team explored every possible avenue before this moment.
Is lethal injection still the standard method? I wonder if there will be any public debate about the process itself given the date.
This feels incredibly heavy. Tennessee hasn’t executed a woman in two hundred years, and now they are about to do it again.
