Tennessee Supreme Court Sets Four Execution Dates

The Tennessee Supreme Court has scheduled execution dates for four individuals, including Christa Pike, the state's only woman on death row. Pike, convicted of a 1995 torture slaying, has had her sentence commuted requested based on her youth and mental illness. The court also set dates for Tony Carruthers, Gary Sutton, and Anthony Hines, all convicted of multiple murders. These executions follow a hiatus due to concerns over lethal injection drug testing. Attorneys for inmates continue to raise questions about the process and potential for mistreatment during executions.
