Christa Pike says she is 'at peace' and 'not afraid to die' as she faces execution in Tennessee today, more than three decades after being sentenced to death. In a letter written before her clemency request was denied, Pike said she was grateful for the support she had received, writing: 'I've felt more love in the last two weeks than I have my entire life.' She also acknowledged one fear: 'I am only nervous about the process.' Pike is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 10am local time in Nashville. If carried out, she will be the first woman executed by Tennessee in more than 200 years. #tennessee #christapike #news #usa #crime
