The first female in more than 200 years set to be executed in the state of Tennessee, is fighting to stay alive. 50-year-old Christa Gail Pike is scheduled to die by lethal injection Sept 30th of this year. Her attorneys have filed a lawsuit to try and stop the execution, saying it violates both her constitutional rights and religious beliefs. Pike admits to brutally killing a romantic rival more than 30 years ago when she was just 18-years-old after suffering from mental illness and years of sexual abuse.
