US Supreme Court Allows First Tennessee Female Execution in 200 Years

The Supreme Court overruled a lower court's halt on the execution of a woman in Tennessee, clearing the way for the first such execution in the state in two centuries. The decision reverses a federal court's stay, underscoring the high court's willingness to intervene in last-minute appeals. This marks a rare and significant legal event, though the broader implications for death penalty jurisprudence remain unclear.
