Pike later admitted to the crime in court and became the first woman to be sentenced to capital punishment in Tennessee in 200 years.

However, Pike lived and was taken to the hospital, where she remains “critically ill,” as per the latest update. “If she recovers, she may not fully recover,” her lawyers said on October 4.
