SUMMARY: The trial of 14-year-old Carly Gregg, accused of killing her mother and injuring her stepfather, began on September 16 in Rankin County, Mississippi. Jury selection and opening statements were held, with emotional testimony following, including a playback of the 911 call from her stepfather post-injury. The defense cites a family history of mental illness, but prosecutors argue Gregg’s secretive behavior and substance use undermine this claim. A motion to transfer her case to Youth Court was denied. Gregg faces charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder, with potential life imprisonment. She remains incarcerated with a bond set at $1 million.
