The execution of Tennessee inmate Christa Pike has been halted an hour before it was due to happen. Pike, 50, has been awaiting execution since she was convicted and sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of Colleen Slemmer. In their ruling on Wednesday, judges from the Sixth Circuit Appeals court said they needed more time to consider the arguments in Pike's case. If the execution proceeds, Pike would be the first woman to be executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years. Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio to read more. #ChristaPike #BBCNews
