Christa Pike Survived Her Own Execution [Current Affairs]

12 de outubro de 2026 · 7 min

Notas do episódio

In 1995, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was murdered in Knoxville, Tennessee, by a classmate who believed she was after her boyfriend. Christa Pike spent the next three decades as the only woman on Tennessee’s death row. On September 30th, the state gave her two doses of pentobarbital, and she did not die. This week she woke up in a hospital bed, still under a death sentence, as her lawyers fight to keep Tennessee from trying again.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
