It's a biography about a woman whose deadly intentions make her the youngest woman to be ever sentenced to death when she was just 20 years of age in the United States for a murder committed by her at the age of 18. This is about Christa Gail Pike who has the face of an angel but heart of a devil....
Born on March 10,1976 in West Virginia to Carissa Hansen and Glenn Pike, she had a troubled childhood as her mother and father are not married and both of them had began their new families respectively leaving Christa behind with her maternal grandmother.When Pike was in her teens her grandmother passed away and she was shuffled between her parents.By the age of 18,Christa has been thrown out of her father's house twice and was formally told to leave when she was accused of sexually abusing her 2 year old step-sister from his father's second marriage.

Pike was living like this until 2001 as shown above in this video.
In June 2001 Christa Pike appealed her conviction in the Tennessee state courts.
On August 24th, 2001, a fellow inmate of Christa Pike, Jennifer Szostecki, set fire to a cell.
Christa, with the assistance from fellow inmate Natasha Cornett (serving 3 life sentences for the Lillelid family murders) used the confusion of the fire to attack another inmate, Patricia Ann Jones (serving life + 40 years for the murder of 84-year-old Alberta Coker), attempting to strangle her with a shoelace, and almost succeeded.
According to Christa, Patricia Ann had been taunting her about her impending execution. In a phone call to her mother, Christa also said that “all she does is snitch on me and stab me in the back.”
Usually, Christa is kept isolated, but due to the fire, prison guards put Christa Pike, Natasha Cornett, and Patricia Ann Jones into the same recreation area, without handcuffs. Natasha first attacked and struggled with Patricia, when Christa came up behind her and started strangling her with a shoelace. Jones was unconscious when a correctional officer finally pulled Christa off of her. The officer quoted Christa saying “I finally got a chance to kill you! I’m gonna die anyway. They can’t do anything to me!”

In June 2002 Christa Pike dropped her appeal and sought to be executed via electrocution and demanded the judge to speed up her execution . Pike then changed her mind in a couple of week and on July 8th, 2002 her lawyers filed a motion to allow the appeal process to continue.

Justin Heflin
But from some sorces DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS came to know about the ongoing escape plot and finally on March 2012 ,Mohit and Heflin were arrested and their escape plan foiled.
On May 31, 2012 Kohut was sentenced to seven years in prison and Heflin who cooperated with authorities after his arrest served no prison time but was terminated from his job as a correction officer...
Here's the video link -
As of 2020, after serving 25 years on death row Christa Pike is now also the only woman on death row in Tenessese.
She now also lives in her 3m by 3.5m cell at the maximum security wing locked down for 23 hours a day . She get only one hour out of cell and that also for recreation, exercise,visit, shower,Doctor appointment,etc. and that also in belly chains as well as shackled and doesn't get unlocked until she returns back to her cell .When she is out in the yard for 1 hour ,other inmates are kept far from her as she is not allowed to interact with them except guards. She is appealing for her conviction and wants a life sentence without parole but in 2016 her appeals were denied and judge opens a death chamber for her. If possible she could be executed in the coming years. A close friend of mine was with her in prison and she tells about how much dangerous this woman is and needs to be executed as quick as possible.....

This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
