Tennessee had been poised to execute Christa Gail Pike for a murder she committed at the age of 18, but halted the proceedings roughly an hour before the execution was scheduled to commence on Wednesday.

A federal appeals court intervened in order to hear whether the childhood sexual abuse and rape she alleges had been adequately weighed during the sentencing phase.

Pike, now 50, and her then-boyfriend were convicted of stabbing and beating to death 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow student at a vocational training facility in Knoxville in 1995.

She was the first woman in Tennessee in at least 200 years to face an imminent execution.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals halted the execution by a 2-to-1 vote at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, where execution witnesses and others had gathered in large numbers.

The case attracted widespread attention at the time of the murder, owing partly to the fact that a pentagram had been carved into Slemmer's body, and partly to the circumstance that other elements of the crime had stoked fears of Satanism during the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s and 1990s.

Immediately after the stay of execution was issued, the Tennessee Attorney General promptly appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

In its appeal submitted to the Supreme Court, the Attorney General's office stated that the last-minute stay of execution not only inflicted trauma on Slemmer's family but also served as a reward for Pike's attorneys' "abusive delay tactics."

Pike's defense attorneys argued that disregarding the adversities she had to endure while growing up runs directly counter to any conception of fairness pertaining to the carrying out of a death sentence.

They wrote that "it is inconceivable that, in the twenty-first century, a criminal justice system should seek to put to death a survivor of rape and childhood sexual abuse, while the jury that weighs the defendant's moral culpability is afforded no opportunity whatsoever to take that fact into account."

As the execution date drew near, the debate over whether to retain or abolish capital punishment for juvenile offenders was reignited.

Pike does not deny that he committed the murder, but his supporters contend that the state ought to take into account his age at the time of the offense, his mental illness, and a history of severe sexual abuse, including having been raped from early infancy.

Stephen Ferrell, an assistant federal public defender, remarked that Pike's death sentence is anomalous, given that there is precedent in Tennessee for the death sentences of other eighteen-year-old offenders having been vacated.

After committing the murder, Pike was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

She stated that she had merely wanted to argue with Slummer about the pardon petition, but that, in the throes of a violent assault, she "couldn't put on the brakes" and killed her.

However, owing to the incompleteness of records dating back so far, it is exceedingly difficult to ascertain the precise details concerning who was the last woman to be executed in Tennessee.
