What s the difference between being 17 years old and being 18? In Christa Gail Pike s case, her lawyers say, the difference is a death sentence.
The state wants to set an execution date for Pike, now 45 and the only woman on Tennessee s death row. She was 18 years old when she and two other participants in a Knoxville job program for troubled teens killed Colleen Slemmer in a remote spot on the University of Tennessee s agriculture campus.
Pike, her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp and fellow Job Corps student Shadolla Peterson lured Slemmer, 19, to campus the night of Jan. 12, 1995. Once the three had Slemmer in an isolated spot, they physically assaulted her before bludgeoning her to death with a rock.
