Mental health professionals testify in Carly Gregg trial
SUMMARY: During the ongoing trial of Carly Gregg, a Rankin County teen charged with her mother’s murder and shooting her stepfather, multiple mental health experts testified about her mental state. They collectively determined that Gregg was competent to stand trial but not definitively mentally insane under Mississippi law. Dr. Amanda Gugiliano, a forensic evaluator, found her competent but couldn’t assess her sanity, while psychiatrist Dr. Jason Pickett suggested her mental state did not meet legal standards. He noted concerns about her attorney potentially guiding her responses for gain and described her journal entries as “theatrical.” The defense’s motion to drop charges was denied.

Psychiatrist talks about text messages Gregg sent
SUMMARY: The speaker discussed reviewing text messages close to the March 19, 2024 incident, emphasizing their significance in understanding the individual’s mindset at that time. These messages provided insight into her mental state and emotional condition before the crime occurred, which is uncommon in such cases. The speaker also referenced the unusual nature of having medical records from the day before a violent act. They further described the individual’s responses during evaluations as “textbook perfect,” contrasting them with the more vivid and chaotic descriptions typically provided by those with genuine mental disorders, highlighting the distinction between real symptoms and cliche responses.
Dr. Jason Pickett says the text messages Carly Gregg sent on the day her mother was shot are “a window” into what she was thinking.
