If Tennessee executes Christa Pike next week, she'd be the first woman executed by the state in more than 200 years — for a crime she committed when she was 18 nearly three decades ago. Governor Lee must spare her life before it's too late.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
