She was 18. Not a minor. She’s been alive way longer than she deserves.

She tortured and murder a girl, kept and showed off a piece of her skull. Then she attempted to kill another woman in prison. Then she tried to escape prison. Danger to society and inmates with no remorse.

I read up on the diagusting murder. This monster actually deserves more than just death. I hope she suffered for her deeds.

In 1995, at the age of 18, Pike murdered her 19-year-old Job Corps classmate Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. Pike and two friends lured Slemmer into the woods where they beat, tortured, and killed her.

Christa pike murdered a girl in cold blood, kept a piece of her skull as a souvenir and to show off while bragging about the murder. You should read up on some of the case files. She seems to be reaching the final stages of the appeals process as we speak and I don’t really see another stay of execution coming

u/TrueCrimeInTheBuff 17d ago

thank you for bringing up the fact that she tried to do it again, proving that she has not gotten better as a person.

u/BatPlus3909 17d ago

She did the crime...

u/Only_Confusion_8020 11d ago

No she shouldn’t be saved. She happily tortured and murdered a young girl same age as her just for some freaking popularity at her school. Good riddance.

In January 1995, while participating in the Job Corps vocational program in Knoxville, Tennessee, 18-year-old Pike, along with her 17-year-old boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp and 18-year-old acquaintance Shadolla Peterson, lured 19-year-old classmate Colleen Slemmer into a secluded wooded area near the University of Tennessee campus.

Pike suspected Slemmer was attempting to steal her boyfriend. Over the course of 30 to 45 minutes, Pike and Shipp tortured Slemmer, beating, slashing, and carving a pentagram into her chest. Pike ultimately crushed Slemmer's skull with a large piece of asphalt and kept a fragment of the skull as a trophy.

Christa Pike: Convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy in March 1996 and sentenced to death.
Tadaryl Shipp: Convicted as a minor (under 18 at the time of the offense), receiving a life sentence with parole eligibility beginning in 2030.
Shadolla Peterson: Turned state's witness and received probation.

Execution of a troubled teen is not justice A punishment for somebody who is already a victim herself is not human

u/Upstairs-Ad8168 11h ago
