Christa Pike in a letter to boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp, after her conviction:
“Ya see what I get for trying to be nice to the hoe. I went ahead and bashed her brains out so she’d die quickly instead of bleed to death and suffer more, and they f*****’n fry ME??? Ain’t dat some shit!” She may have been the youngest woman on death row, but I have no sympathy for her. To this day she has no remorse for what she has done. She has bragged about it in prison. While in prison, she continues to cause trouble time after time. Honestly, I see no hope for her, and that is just plain sad. However, Colleen Slemmer, the victim, had much hope and promise for her future. Unfortunately, it was taken away by Christa Pike out of hate and spite. Please think of Colleen and her loved ones.
