Vinnie Politan says that leaves out almost everything. This episode goes back through what actually put her on death row, and what she did after she got there. Colleen Slemmer was 19. She was lured into the woods near the Knoxville Job Corps center, attacked by three people, cut with a box cutter, and killed with a piece of asphalt. Pike kept a fragment of her skull as a souvenir. The jury took under an hour. Then there’s the letter. On the day she was sentenced to death, Pike handed a corrections officer a note to smuggle to her co-defendant and boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp. The officer turned it in instead and it was entered into evidence. In it she asks Shipp to recant his statement and match hers, describes the killing in her own words, and signs off “Little devil.” Vinnie reads the whole thing. Most people don’t know what came next. In August 2001, Pike attacked another inmate, Patricia Jones, with a shoestring — and was convicted of attempted first-degree murder in 2004. An intercepted call to her mother is the part that stays with you. And in March 2012, the TBI and the Department of Correction broke up a plot to get her out of the Tennessee Prison for Women. A 23-year-old correctional officer, Justin Heflin, and a New Jersey man named Donald Kohut who had been visiting her twice a month were both indicted. There were key impressions, maps, false identification and money changing hands. None of this excuses what Tennessee did wrong in that chamber. Vinnie is clear about that. But he argues the loudest voice in the room right now is the only voice, and somebody should be saying the rest of it out loud.
