Reseña del libro "Christa (en Inglés)"
In January 1995, nineteen-year-old Colleen Slemmer walked into the woods near Knoxville, Tennessee. She never walked out. What happened that night was brutal. What followed would become one of the most disturbing and fiercely debated capital cases in modern American history. At the center of it was eighteen-year-old Christa Gail Pike. The headlines found their monster quickly. Pike became the youngest woman sentenced to death in the United States in the modern era, and for decades, her name would remain inseparable from the terrible crime that put her there. But a death sentence doesn't end a story. It begins another one. Christa goes beyond the mugshots, courtroom photographs, television reports, and easy labels to examine the people, evidence, choices, failures, and unanswered questions behind a case that has endured for more than thirty years. This is not a book written to erase Colleen Slemmer. Her life matters. Her death matters. Nor is it an attempt to excuse the crime committed against her. It is an examination of something far more difficult. Who was Christa Pike before the world knew her name? What shaped the eighteen-year-old who entered those woods? What happened inside the investigation and courtroom? And after three decades on death row, what does justice require? Guilt may answer what someone did. It doesn't always answer why. And somewhere between vengeance and mercy lies the question America still hasn't settled: When does punishment become enough?
