Teen Killer’s Life Sentences Upheld | Jackson News

A 14-year-old girl, Carly Gregg, has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering her mother and attempting to kill her stepfather in 2024 — a case now sealed by the Mississippi Supreme Court. The court rejected her insanity defense, citing clear evidence that she understood her actions were wrong, including texting her stepfather and hiding security footage after the shootings. Convicted of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and tampering with evidence, Gregg faces concurrent life sentences plus an additional ten years — all stemming from a confrontation over marijuana use and a burner phone. Her defense claimed mental health issues, but state experts countered that her calculated behavior proved she was fully aware of her crimes. The verdict is final: justice has been served, and the sentences are locked in. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
