SUMMARY: Carly Madison Gregg, a 15-year-old, is currently on trial in Rankin County for allegedly killing her mother and attempting to murder her stepfather in March. Charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder, she faces up to two life sentences after rejecting a plea deal. The case has garnered national attention due to its shocking nature. It was revealed that Gregg shot her mother after a disagreement, and later shot her stepfather upon his return home.
