You're going to hear and read this name a lot more in the next months. Four strangers were brought to Knoxville to be in Americorp.

It's way past time for her to fry. Thirty years ago, she and two others murdered a fellow student in a program under the Americorp banner. This link gives most of the story, but fails to mention that the murdered girl's Mother couldn' t bury all of her daughter because the piece of her daughter's skull that Crista kept as a souvenir was evidence and retained for further court litigation. And the lawyers' actions and delaying is in the article. too.

They say she was mentally ill. Evil more like.

Why are they waiting a full year? Why not set it for October 3rd, 2025? Get her outta here. WAY past time for her to die.

I don’t know squat about any of her misdeeds

From the looks of the picture I can’t imagine killing her

Seems like she has a pattern of trying to commit murder.

Bring back the guillotine and damn her to hell.

What a horrid crime...

When she gets painted with a sympathetic brush, just remember her crimes didn't end with that..

quote:

Following her 1996 conviction, Pike was also convicted of attempted first-degree murder in 2004 after she was accused of strangling a fellow inmate and nearly choking her to death with a shoestring in 2001.

In 2012, TDOC records also state that Pike attempted to escape, but her attempt was foiled by TDOC and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.


I don't care she's a woman, nor do I care she was 18 for her first crime... put her down.

She should have been dead long ago, if there were any true justice

She took part of her victim's skull as a souvenir and tried to murder a fellow inmate by strangling her with a shoestring. She sounds like a lovely woman.

I've never understood how this was a defense. This is worse, in my opinion.

I support her execution. I do however understand and respect anyone who opposes it on the grounds that they don’t want to give The State the authority to take a human life.

I remember some documentary that interviewed her. She said "I just don't know what's gonna be going on in my mind when they take me back there".

Well I guess it's time to find out.

I was in school at UT when this happened. We lived right across the street from Americorps. I hope they fry that bitch, but I guess we have to settle for lethal injection.

I'm tired of this excuse being used as justification to harm or murder people. Evil needs to be punished, and I don't think anyone could murder someone without some sort of mental illness.

I used to be pro Death Penalty, even as a man of God. I changed my mind when DNA started proving we convicted way too many innocent people to death row.

Personally, I do not like states threatening to give you the death pen. if you take it to trial either. Either all murders should be classified as the same. If you kill for money, or hate, that's should be different than killing out of anger. And if anyone thinks that is wrong think, if a person in the Old Test. Israel killed out of anger, he was put in a safe city to protect him from the family' revenge. In other words if two people were arguing, it got out of hand, and someone killed someone, God did not see that as murder per se. I know nothing about the case, but killing a roommate doesn't seem premediated. Most murders that are not premeditated get life or life without parole. She carved a pentagram into he chest, in a very Christian pool of juries, they probably put her on death row because of that.
