Youngest Woman Ever Sentenced to Death in the US Remains Alive on Death Row

On March 22, 1996, Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, and she was sentenced to death by electrocution, making her the youngest woman in the U.S. to receive a death sentence at the age of 18. Nearly three decades later, Pike, now 47, remains on death row, with appeals delaying her execution.
