RSS Feed 50-year-old Christa Pike is scheduled to become the first woman executed in Tennessee since 1819. Pike was convicted of the torture and murder of an alleged romantic rival when she was 18-years-old. She committed her crime with her then 17-year-old boyfriend, and because of his age he was given a life sentence, while Pike was sentenced to death. There have been dozens of women’s advocacy groups trying to halt her execution based on her extensive sexual abuse and mental health history. At this point, all of Pike’s appeals have been exhausted, and the Governor of Tennessee has already made his decision not to intervene. The mother of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer, plans to attend, saying she’s been waiting for this day for more than 30 years.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, September 30th, and a day that we don't often see in the United States. There is an execution planned for just a couple hours from this moment as of this recording. In the United States, we're about to see a woman executed for the first time in many, many years. And for the state of Tennessee, it's the first time they've executed a woman in two hundred years. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes, these are always solemn days to have an execution in the country. Robes, this one still feels different.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: It does.
00:00:37
Speaker 4: This is the only woman on Tennessee's death row. Her name is Krista Pike. You've probably heard a lot about her in these past few days. She's 50 years old now, but she committed a murder when she was 18 years old back in 1995. And yes, her scheduled execution is at 10 a.m.
00:01:01
Speaker 3: Central Time. That's 11 a.m. Eastern Time.
00:01:04
Speaker 4: And we've already heard from the governor who said and made it very clear that he would not be stepping in to intervene to stop this murder.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: Execution from taking place?
00:01:16
Speaker 2: So, yeah, state of Tennessee, and it does happen. Some states, and Tennessee is one of them, oftentimes they do schedule these at different times. We're used to them being in the evening. But, yes, some states, and Tennessee is doing so, to have a morning execution, so 10 a.m., Central time, 11 a.m. on the East Coast, is when this execution is supposed to happen. Lethal injection now robs up to the last minute, which I suppose is still possible now. As far as her legal options, nobody....
00:01:51
Speaker 1: She doesn't really have any.
00:01:52
Speaker 3: She has none.
00:01:54
Speaker 2: As far as a change of heart option, the governor didn't even... allow this to go up to the last minute, to wait for that phone to ring, if you will. But still, Robes, there are a lot of people out there fighting and trying to get a message out about her execution, Robes, that is different from the arguments we often hear at the last minute.
00:02:21
Speaker 4: Yes, we've heard from dozens of women's advocacy groups who have, and they took time over the last couple of weeks to write the governor, Bill Lee is his name, to say that.
00:02:32
Speaker 3: Her past sexual abuse, and.
00:02:35
Speaker 4: She has a significant history of sexual abuse, should spare her from today's execution. They are claiming that because Krista Pike, by the way, was raped from the time she was a toddler by her grandfather's boyfriend to other men, to a complete stranger, by the way, at 18, luring her into the woods. So she had, I believe, several men over the course of her life violently and repeatedly rape her.
00:03:01
Speaker 3: And so these groups say that Pike will relive.
00:03:04
Speaker 4: That trauma of her rape when correction officers strap her down to the gurney to administer a lethal injection. And they say that it will actually be as though she's being raped again by the system, by the government, and that trauma is cruel and unusual, and therefore her life should be spared.
00:03:25
Speaker 2: I haven't heard that argument before. I... thought initially when hearing these groups are supporting her, I thought it was going to be like we hear oftentimes that death row inmates have a history of trauma, of violence, of something in their lives that contributed to how they ended up behaving in violent ways later. I thought that was the argument they were going to use here. Well, obviously this has been rejected, but I hadn't heard that argument made before, Robe.
00:03:53
Speaker 1: This was a.
00:03:54
Speaker 2: Unique one about cruel and unusual people punishment to the point they say, okay, even if you're not going to call off the execution, there was at least something they were requesting, which I thought also was an odd request that the state is apparently trying to accommodate. Correct.
00:04:12
Speaker 4: So her attorneys have asked, obviously the thing they want more than anything is for this death sentence to be commuted to a life sentence. But they said that Instead, they would just like for it to be an all-female execution team. So they don't want any men from the guards who walk her to the death chamber, to the guards who strap her in, to the medical professional who administers the lethal injection. They have requested that they all be women rather than men to help avoid any of that violence.
00:04:48
Speaker 3: Extra trauma that she will be experiencing.
00:04:50
Speaker 4: And so the state of Tennessee said they couldn't guarantee it, but they would try to accommodate that request, which I think seems fair if it's possible.
00:04:59
Speaker 3: And this is what she's asking for. I don't see the harm in that.
00:05:02
Speaker 2: I just wonder how difficult is it to scramble enough female correctional officers who are properly trained who can handle this? I don't know, bringing them in from around the state. What are the percentages, Robes, I think about at a women's prison? What is the percentage of female correctional officers in those facilities versus men?
00:05:31
Speaker 1: Are there enough?
00:05:32
Speaker 2: It's a good question. So I don't know, having gotten word, if they will... be able to accommodate that request, but apparently they're trying.
00:05:39
Speaker 1: They are.
00:05:40
Speaker 4: And look, the other argument that was being made to spare Krista Pike's life was that she will be, we mentioned this is, she's going to be the first woman executed in the state of Tennessee in over 200 years.
00:05:52
Speaker 3: How about this?
00:05:52
Speaker 4: She will be the first person executed in Tennessee who was 18 at the time of their crime. So far, the youngest person executed for a murder in the state of Tennessee was 23 and at the time of the crime. Now, over the past 50 years, seven men were sent to death row who committed their murders at the age of 18. But each one of those men had their death sentences vacated and commuted to life sentences. So there are going to be a couple of firsts happening in Nashville, Tennessee today with Krista Pike's execution.
00:06:28
Speaker 2: And we see this at the At the last hour that all kinds of legal arguments are made, moral arguments are made for why an execution shouldn't go through. Oftentimes, rogues, we do see evidence being reviewed, new DNA being tested, you know, something having to do with the case. The other side has to do with, you know, some people just have moral objections. They don't care what the crime was. They just don't think we should have the death penalty. Okay, fine. Ropes, it's hard to find, in this case at least, sympathy. It's hard to find in this case, even if you hear about Krista Pike's background, when you hear how she treated this young lady that she killed, Ropes, people are going to have to really, really dig deep to find sympathy and mercy.
00:07:24
Speaker 1: When we talk about this crime.
00:07:26
Speaker 3: That's right.
00:07:26
Speaker 4: And the crime happened in 1995, as we mentioned, on January 12th. Then 18-year-old Krista Pike and her then 17-year-old boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, they lured this young woman, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, into the woods because... Krista Pike believed that she was trying to steal her guy, try to steal her man. She considered her a romantic rival and she was going to make her pay. And so they had all met at this job training camp for troubled teens. And they had become, I guess maybe she was pretending to be her friend. I'm not sure how she lured her out into the woods in the first place. But once she got her out there, they tortured and murdered her. I actually have This from the Tennessee Attorney General. The court documents describing the crime.
00:08:14
Speaker 3: It's brutal. But this is how it reads.
00:08:17
Speaker 4: Armed with a box cutter and a meat cleaver, Pike and two accomplices lured Slemmer to an isolated area. There, Pike kneed Slemmer's head, threw her to the ground, and repeatedly kicked her. When Slemmer tried to flee, Pike sliced her stomach with a box cutter. As Slemmer begged for her life, Pike repeatedly kicked her in the face. Pike then cut Slemmer's throat as she begged for mercy, and after Slemmer made one final attempt to escape, Pike smashed the back of her head with a rock. Ship also carved a pentagram into Slemmer's chest, and Pike later showed off a piece of Slemmer's skull.
00:09:00
Speaker 3: To a friend. I don't know how it gets much worse than that.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, they tortured this poor girl. Tortured her.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Mocked her while they're killing her. I messed up, Robes, and found some link in the coverage of this story and it directed you to the crime scene photos.
00:09:24
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is... So....
00:09:29
Speaker 2: That crime that murder we are now supposed to be finding it years later in our hearts to find mercy for what she went through in her life and robes there's space for that there are good folks out there who could look at it this way and this is the way we should be we should be better we should be able to show mercy but there is a a mama out there that's been waiting 30 years who is on her way right now to sit in that death chamber and watch this woman die We have to remember the other side of this story too, babe.
00:10:02
Speaker 1: We do.
00:10:03
Speaker 4: And when we come back, we're going to let you hear what Colleen Slemmer's mom had to say and we'll let you hear officially from Governor Bill Lee who let all of us know what he is not going to be doing today.
00:10:24
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ.
00:10:27
Speaker 4: As of this recording, we are just about an hour away from Krista Pike becoming the first woman in more than 200 years to be executed in the state of Tennessee for a heinous murder that she committed alongside her boyfriend back in 1995. Her boyfriend, by the way, to Daryl Shipp, was 17 at the time of the murder. He, too, was convicted, but he was given a life sentence given his age. Many folks have pointed out if Krista Pike had just been 10 months younger, she too would be spending the rest of her life behind bars. She would not be in a death chamber right now.
00:11:04
Speaker 2: You know, would they be making an argument for a commuted sentence if she had life because of what she went through earlier?
00:11:10
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't know.
00:11:13
Speaker 3: There's always something.
00:11:14
Speaker 4: They always ask for something beyond what the sentencing was or what a jury of her peers decided all those years ago. And so, yes, Governor Bill Lee has never once commuted a death sentence into a life sentence, and so he made this announcement.
00:11:28
Speaker 3: Some folks thought this was going to go down to the last minute. He made this decision a full day beforehand.
00:11:33
Speaker 4: He put out there, after deliberate consideration of Krista Gail Pike's request for clemency and after a thorough review of the case, I am upholding the sentence of the state of Tennessee and do not plan to intervene. So he made it very clear he didn't leave any wiggle room. Pike's attorneys acknowledged it, said they were deeply saddened and heartbroken by the governor's decision.
00:11:58
Speaker 2: He said he still, as politicians often do, carefully worded, carefully crafted, I do not plan to intervene.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not my intent, but who knows? Things happen.
00:12:11
Speaker 3: That's true.
00:12:12
Speaker 4: But as you pointed out, The victim's mom in all of this has been outspoken and has been a big part of this case, Colleen Slemmer's mom. Her name is May Martinez, and she has made it very clear that she has been waiting for this day, and she wants Krista Pike to pay for what she did to her daughter. She said, I just want Krista down so I can end it, relieve my daughter. So she finally can be resting. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about Colleen or how she died and how rough it was. I mean, yes, you were disgusted and appalled by the crime scene photos you saw. And certainly I think anyone who hears the crime, just hears how it happened, is appalled and just heartbroken. But imagine if you were Colleen Slemmer's mom. That is a whole other level of disgust. And to be waiting all these years for this day, she wants to see justice for her daughter, and I understand that.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: And she will be there.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: Again, I don't know their family situation, but there was a GoFundMe that was set up specifically to provide travel expenses for the family to be able to be there. They are absolutely taking advantage, and the mom has said she will be there tonight.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: It will be interesting to see if Krista Pike has any final words, knowing that her victim's family members are there watching her die. We've heard from her advocates and from her over the years asking for mercy, asking for consideration of her violent and traumatic childhood. But let's see if she actually asks for forgiveness today.
00:13:54
Speaker 2: They've always been saying the same thing. Put it in the hands of the family.
00:13:59
Speaker 1: If a jury... Says death penalty.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: I think a family should be able to do the thing like at the Roman Coliseum. Thumbs up or thumbs down.
00:14:07
Speaker 3: I agree.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: But if a jury decides, then the family can then say go forward with it or not. Other than that, I'll say we should all just butt out of it. But this woman roves the range that we see of families of where their heads and hearts are. What was the one down in Florida? Like this guy was desperate. Please don't kill this guy because I need to have a better understanding of what Happened to my mom and why? Remember, they had formed a relationship almost and wanted to meet the guy and all that.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: And they wouldn't let him. The families are always different. They're just different.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: But this woman's wishes are, she's been looking literally forward to this.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: For 30 years.
00:14:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:14:47
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting. She said, so I can relieve my daughter.
00:14:50
Speaker 4: It's almost as if she's waiting for her daughter to rest in peace and she can't until Krista Pike dies or pays the ultimate price for her daughter's murder. Well, we always appreciate you listening to us, everyone. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, September 30th, and a day that we don't often see in the United States. There is an execution planned for just a couple hours from this moment as of this recording.

She said, I just want Krista down so I can end it, relieve my daughter. So she finally can be resting. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about Colleen or how she died and how rough it was. I mean, yes, you were disgusted and appalled by the crime scene photos you saw. And certainly I think anyone who hears the crime, just hears how it happened, is appalled and just heartbroken. But imagine if you were Colleen Slemmer's mom. That is a whole other level of disgust. And to be waiting all these years for this day, she wants to see justice for her daughter, and I understand that.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: And she will be there.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: Again, I don't know their family situation, but there was a GoFundMe that was set up specifically to provide travel expenses for the family to be able to be there. They are absolutely taking advantage, and the mom has said she will be there tonight.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: It will be interesting to see if Krista Pike has any final words, knowing that her victim's family members are there watching her die. We've heard from her advocates and from her over the years asking for mercy, asking for consideration of her violent and traumatic childhood. But let's see if she actually asks for forgiveness today.
00:13:54
Speaker 2: They've always been saying the same thing. Put it in the hands of the family.
00:13:59
Speaker 1: If a jury... Says death penalty.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: I think a family should be able to do the thing like at the Roman Coliseum. Thumbs up or thumbs down.
00:14:07
Speaker 3: I agree.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: But if a jury decides, then the family can then say go forward with it or not. Other than that, I'll say we should all just butt out of it. But this woman roves the range that we see of families of where their heads and hearts are. What was the one down in Florida? Like this guy was desperate. Please don't kill this guy because I need to have a better understanding of what Happened to my mom and why? Remember, they had formed a relationship almost and wanted to meet the guy and all that.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: And they wouldn't let him. The families are always different. They're just different.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: But this woman's wishes are, she's been looking literally forward to this.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: For 30 years.
00:14:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:14:47
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting. She said, so I can relieve my daughter.
00:14:50
Speaker 4: It's almost as if she's waiting for her daughter to rest in peace and she can't until Krista Pike dies or pays the ultimate price for her daughter's murder. Well, we always appreciate you listening to us, everyone. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk soon.
