Summary

Catherine and Jessica discuss how Tennessee prepares for a grim milestone as new execution dates are set for 2026, including the only woman on death row in Tennessee, Christa Pike. In this episode we examine the state's latest capital punishment decisions, and the uneasy tension between justice, mercy and the ghosts of crimes past. We also have an update on the past episode "Murder in the Holler", set in Townsend, TN.
