“I’m
not scared to die. I’m scared of the electric chair. I’m scared of
having my head shaved bald and being strapped in this huge chair and
being shocked to death. Because if you think about it, y'know, you can
touch someone else and get shocked and that hurts and that’s barely
being shocked and I cannot imagine… just… all that electricity. That
scares me.”
- 22 year old Christa Gail Pike in 1998 discussing her death penalty conviction for the brutal murder of 19 year old Colleen Slemmer in 1995. In an attack which lasted 30 minutes to 1 hour, Pike and two accomplices beat and slashed Slemmer with a boxcutter, carved a pentagram into her chest and eventually bludgeoned her head with a heavy piece of asphalt. Christa kept a piece of Colleen’s skull as a token of the killing.
