A condemned Tennessee killer the first woman sentenced to death in the state in 200 years is demanding an all-female lethal injection team to carry out her execution, claiming she could be traumatized by having men involved in her final moments.

Now, decades after her conviction for the gruesome murder, the death row inmate, set to be executed on Sept. 30, is making the bizarre request for an all-female execution crew citing past sexual abuse.

If this request isn't possible, then Pike will ask to be hanged instead.


That is what she requested. She also requested to be hanged, but clearly that did not happen. Has it been established that it actually was an all-female execution crew?

Christa Pike's execution was overseen by the same male doctor named Mark Fowler who also botched the execution of Tony Carruthers earlier this year.

While it is not clear to me who actually put the IVs in Christa Pike, Dr. Fowler did try and failed to insert IVs into Carruthers.


In any event, it is not clear to me why a male would be any better at placing an IV than a female.

Jamaal Howard's lawyers have requested a stay of his execution tonight citing Christa Pike's botched attempt. Sounds like they are claiming the same could happen in Texas because the same drug was used and they believe the supply is degraded rendering it ineffective. They have asked for information about the supply of pentobarbital including it's age. TDCJ has asked for an opinion from the TX Attorney General office as to whether or not they have to provide that info.

I doubt they will succeed and if they do it might just be a temporary stay while Atty Gen decides if they have to release the info the drug being used.

Fine, just give him 50x the dose.

Why have we complicated killing people? We've been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years.

Christa Pike after being sentenced to death for the slaughter of Colleen Slemmer: "You see what I got for trying to be nice to that *****. I went ahead and bashed her brains out so she would die quickly instead of letting her bleed to death and suffer more and they ****ing fry me."

In a world when you can be anything, be the person that ends the meeting early.
