US Supreme Court clears first female execution since 2023; Christa Pike to die in Tennessee

The US Supreme Court lifted a stay, allowing the execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee for a 1990 murder, making her the first woman executed in the US since 2023. A federal appeals court had earlier suspended the lethal injection, but the high court's intervention clears the way. The case highlights ongoing legal battles over capital punishment and its application to female inmates.
