Los magistrados aprueban 6 a 3 la pena de muerte de la mujer que ya no tiene más recursos legales, horas antes de que fuera frenada a último momento por una corte de apelaciones en Tennesse

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

The US Supreme Court has allowed the execution of Christa Pike to proceed. This comes after a federal appeals court had halted the execution in Tennessee just hours before it was set to take place. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling means Pike will be the first woman to be executed in the state in over two centuries.
