Christa Pike’s execution halted by appeals court an hour before it was set to take place
Pike, now 50, was scheduled to be executed Wednesday morning by lethal injection at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville
What the coverage shows
All four outlets center on the same basic development: Christa Pike’s scheduled execution was halted by a court at the last moment. The New York Times adds that she was Tennessee’s lone woman on death row and says she had been set to become the first woman executed in the state in 200 years. Newsweek is the only one to stress that she has spent three decades on death row, while the BBC and The Independent stick more closely to the timing and legal halt.
