According to defense attorneys Stephen Ferrell, Kelly Gleason and Randall Spivey, it would be premature to set a date to put Pike to death.
They argue the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is looking into Pike s case and whether her civil rights have been denied. The IACHR is the primary agency of the Organization of American States, which promotes human rights in the American hemisphere.
The defense also argues a mental health expert still needs time to meet with Pike, who is being held at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center in Nashville, previously known as the Nashville Prison for Women.
