Christa Pike, Tennessees only woman on death row, was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, her classmate at a job training facility. Slemmer was attacked with a box cutter, and prosecutors said Pike carved a pentagram into her chest and removed part of her skull. Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death, while her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp received a life sentence.
