In January of 1995, Christa Pike led a fellow Job Corps student named Colleen Slemmer onto the University of Tennessee's agricultural campus and came back with a piece of Colleen's skull in her pocket; Tennessee plans to execute her at 10 a.m. Wednesday, and with the state's highest court having refused to stop it, her lawyers are waiting on Governor Bill Lee and on the U.S. Supreme Court, where an emergency request for a stay is pending.
