🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has lifted the temporary federal stay that paused Christa Pike’s scheduled execution Wednesday morning.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had halted the execution shortly before it was set to begin while judges reviewed Pike’s request to reopen an earlier federal case involving her history of childhood sexual abuse.
Tennessee asked the Supreme Court to cancel that pause, and the high court has now done so. As of 6:14 p.m., an exact time or date for the execution resuming has yet to be announced.
