The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for Christa Pike to be executed by lethal injection after an appeals court halted the procedure earlier on Wednesday.
The execution had been scheduled to take place before the intervention by the appeals court. The Supreme Court’s decision removes that halt and allows the execution to proceed.
The supplied information does not state whether the execution had taken place following the Supreme Court’s ruling. No further details about the legal challenge or the timing of any next step were provided.
