Christa Pike, a teenager convicted of murder, is due for execution in just 19 days. Tennessee officials are selecting official media witnesses for the occasion. The state issued a public notice listing Pike as inmate number 261368. News.com.au reported on the upcoming execution. An opinion piece by Stephen Cooper in the Montgomery Advertiser suggests the case requires "a pound of flesh" over a piece of skull. Officials have withheld further particulars. The state has yet to name the selected witnesses. The execution is expected to move forward as planned.
