Christa Pike: Tennessee Schedules Her EXECUTION For 2026 | Last Meal and Last Words
Christa Gail Pike’s case has never been just about one murder. More than 30 years later, it remains one of the most controversial death row stories in the United States.

In this second part, we return to the 1995 killing of Colleen Slemmer near the University of Tennessee campus, but shift the focus to the questions that refuse to fade. Why was Pike the only one sentenced to death while her accomplices received lighter punishments? Did her role as the planner and primary attacker justify that outcome, or does the disparity reveal flaws in how justice is applied?

We examine Pike’s age at the time of the crime, just 18, and the ongoing debate over brain development, maturity, and legal responsibility. Her defense arguments citing childhood abuse, mental illness, and neurological damage are explored alongside the courts’ repeated rejection of those claims. This video also looks at the ethical and religious battles surrounding capital punishment, where mercy and retribution collide in deeply personal ways.

Finally, we explore Pike’s own words from death row, public reaction as her 2026 execution date approaches, and why this case continues to divide communities decades later.
