1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: This is a take recorded state person being interviewed is

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Krista Gaye Pipe. This in regards to the death of

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: a Colleen Slimmer. She started going out on me the

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: night hit uh just a hitler on the hitter.

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: On a cold January day in nineteen ninety five, eighteen

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: year old Krista Pike killed a nineteen year old Colleen

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Slimmer in the woods of Knoxville, Tennessee.

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: This was for Knoxville, a very heavy thing. You also

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: had this torture aspect, hints of Satanism, which was like,

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: what the hell is that?

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Since her conviction in nineteen ninety six, Krista has been

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: sitting on death row and now thirty years later, the

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: clock counting down Krista's life is starting to tick louder

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: and louder.

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 4: The state has asked for an execution date for Krista.

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: If killed, Krista will be the first woman executed in

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: Tennessee in two hundred years. Since Christ's conviction, questions about

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: how young is too young to face execution, about criminal

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: responsibility and the underdeveloped teenage brain have only grown.

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 5: Christa's life was just this locomotive of violence, instability, lack

21
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: of connection.

22
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: A team of lawyers is desperately trying to save her

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: life and rewrite the story that condemned her.

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: I think what we see now is the person that

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: could have been thirty years ago had she received the

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: right supports.

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: But not everyone believes that Christa deserves mercy. I don't

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: think she's changed it off, I really don't. I think

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: she's the same person as always. We let people languish

30
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: in prison for decades, raising questions about who we consider

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: fundamentally unrestorable and whether the system is even capable of

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: responding when those same people change. How does someone prove

33
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: that they deserve to live.

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: There are no evil people. There are people who do

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: evil things, but those people are deeply human. They are

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: deeply flawed, and they are very damaged. That is the

37
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: story of violent crime that nobody is telling.

38
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Across the United States, thousands of men and women sit

39
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: on death row. Almost all are asking for a second chance.

40
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: They all have their own stories. This is Christas.

41
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: We are starting the recording now, please start your first

42
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,560
