Carly Gregg found guilty of killing mother
SUMMARY: Carly Greg, a 15-year-old from Rankin County, was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of first-degree murder for shooting her mother, Ashley Smiley, a teacher, and attempted murder of her stepfather. The jury found her guilty on all counts, with prosecutors highlighting her chilling statements and actions that showed she understood the gravity of her actions. Despite the defense arguing Carly had no history of violence and suffered from a hereditary mental illness, the jury chose to impose a strict sentence. She received an additional 10 years for tampering with evidence, all to be served concurrently.
