                    "Pike, 50, had been scheduled to die at 10 a.m. local time, 6 p.m. in Israel, at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. Had the execution gone ahead, she would have become the first woman executed by Tennessee in more than 200 years and the 19th woman put to death in the United States since executions resumed in 1976.GalleryChrista Gail PikeThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued the stay about an hour before the scheduled execution as it considers whether evidence that Pike suffered severe sexual abuse and rape as a child was adequately taken into account before she was sentenced to death in 1996.It was not immediately clear whether Tennessee\u2019s attorney general would challenge the ruling or how long the execution could be delayed.The intervention came only hours after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a separate attempt by Pike\u2019s attorneys to stop the execution, seemingly clearing the final major legal obstacle to the sentence being carried out.Preparations were already well underway. People who were scheduled to witness the execution had begun assembling at the Nashville prison when word came that the process had been stopped.Pike had also declined the special last meal offered to condemned prisoners, entering what had been expected to be her final hours without requesting one.Colleen Slemmer, who was lured to a secluded area, tortured and murderedPike was 18 when she murdered 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer on Jan. 12, 1995.Slemmer was enrolled with Pike and Pike\u2019s boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, in a vocational training program in Knoxville. Prosecutors said Pike became convinced that Slemmer was interested in Shipp and, driven by jealousy and rage, lured her to an isolated area on the University of Tennessee campus.There, Pike and Shipp tortured and killed her. Pike cut Slemmer with a box cutter and beat her with a large piece of asphalt, while a pentagram was carved into the victim\u2019s body.The details of the killing drew particular attention during the \u201cSatanic panic\u201d of the 1980s and 1990s, a period marked by widespread fears in the United States over alleged satanic cults and ritual abuse.Pike\u2019s 1996 death sentence made her one of the youngest women ever sent to death row in the United States.She has never denied responsibility for Slemmer\u2019s murder. The battle over her execution has instead centered on her age at the time of the crime, her mental health and what her lawyers say jurors were never adequately told about the severe abuse she endured as a child.Pike\u2019s lawyers say her childhood was marked by neglect and severe sexual abuse, including rapes when she was 11 and 17.She was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.Her current attorney, Stephen Ferrell, has argued that Pike\u2019s trial lawyers failed during the sentencing phase to present jurors with crucial evidence about her background and failed to place sufficient emphasis on the fact that she had only recently turned 18.Her lawyers have also argued that scientific understanding of adolescent brain development has changed substantially in the three decades since Pike was sentenced and that a death sentence for someone who committed a crime at 18 is now exceptionally rare.They have pointed to the different sentence received by Shipp, who was 17 when Slemmer was murdered and received life imprisonment with the possibility of parole because of his age.Those issues are now at the center of the appeals court\u2019s last-minute intervention, with judges seeking to examine whether Pike\u2019s claims about childhood abuse and sexual violence received full consideration before the death sentence was imposed.Earlier this week, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee rejected Pike\u2019s request for clemency.Her attorneys argued in the petition that untreated mental illness had left her unable to \u201chit the brakes\u201d when she committed the murder.Pike herself expressed remorse.\u201cI was an 18-year-old kid and mentally unstable,\u201d she said. \u201cIt took me many years just to understand the gravity of what I had done, and even longer to understand how many lives I destroyed.\u201d\u201cI took someone\u2019s daughter, sister and friend,\u201d she added. \u201cIt makes me sick today to think that I was capable of committing such a crime.\u201dBefore Lee rejected the clemency request, Pike said in a letter to the media that she had found a measure of peace regardless of whether she was executed.\u201cI\u2019m not afraid to die,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m just nervous about the process itself.\u201dPike\u2019s attorneys had made another attempt to stop the execution at the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing in part that her post-traumatic stress disorder could cause \u201csevere mental suffering and heightened psychological terror\u201d when she was restrained on a gurney for the lethal injection.The Supreme Court denied her application for a stay on Tuesday and also declined to hear her petition, leaving the execution free to proceed unless another court intervened.That intervention came Wednesday morning from the Sixth Circuit, with barely an hour remaining before the scheduled execution.Pike had also asked that women carry out as much of the execution process as possible, arguing that the presence of men during her final moments could trigger trauma associated with her history of sexual abuse. Tennessee corrections officials had said they would try to accommodate at least some of those requests.Executions of women remain extremely rare in the United States. Eighteen women have been executed since 1976, roughly 1% of all executions during that period, and Tennessee has not executed a woman since 1820.For now, Pike remains on death row. The question is no longer whether she will be executed Wednesday, but whether the federal court\u2019s renewed examination of the evidence surrounding her childhood and sentencing will produce only a delay or a more fundamental change in her case."
