SUMMARY: Carly Madison Gregg, a Mississippi teenager, is on trial for murdering her mother and attempting to kill her stepfather at 14. During the defense’s presentation, Gregg appeared to fall asleep in court amidst witness testimonies. The trial focuses on her mental state rather than the fact of the murder.
