According to SCOTUSblog, the Supreme Court on Wednesday night cleared the way for the execution of Christa Pike, the only woman on Tennessee's death row. The decision came in a brief, unsigned order that lifted a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
The Court did not provide an extended explanation, and the report does not include the lower court's reasoning. The order effectively allows the state to proceed with Pike's execution.
