Death Row’s ‘Mean Girl’ Kept Piece of Teen's Skull, Wakes Up ANGRY After Botched Execution

Christa Pike kept a piece of her teenage victim’s skull as a trophy, but after surviving Tennessee’s botched execution, her lawyers are demanding mercy. Convicted of torturing and murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995, Christa Pike survived two doses of lethal injection drugs and has now regained consciousness. But can Tennessee take her back to the death chamber? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by criminal defense attorney and former homicide prosecutor Paul Callan, who helped prosecute “Son of Sam” killer David Berkowitz, to break down the latest updates on Pike’s condition, whether she can be executed again, and the fight over her death sentence.
