Episode 99: Christa Pike: When an Execution Goes Wrong
In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast , Lauren and Lacey discuss the case of Christa Pike, who was sentenced to death for the brutal 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer. They look back at the crime, Pike's age at the time, her mental health and childhood, and the plea deal she turned down before going to trial. The conversation then turns to Pike's recent failed execution attempt and the bigger questions surrounding the death penalty. Lauren and Lacey don't agree on whether Pike should have received the death penalty, leading to a debate about punishment, age, mental health, and when an execution could cross the line into cruel and unusual punishment.
