News summary

Fifteen-year-old Carly Gregg is on trial for allegedly murdering her mother, Ashley Smylie, and attempting to kill her stepfather, Heath Smylie. The incident occurred on March 19 when Gregg, reportedly upset over her mother's discovery of her drug use, shot her mother with a .357 Magnum handgun. Surveillance footage showed her seemingly calm after the shooting, even texting her stepfather to lure him home, where she then shot him in the shoulder. During the trial, it was revealed that Gregg was offered a plea deal of 40 years but opted for an insanity defense instead. Testimony from her stepfather described the chaos following the shooting, while a licensed counselor noted that Gregg had previously expressed admiration for a fictional character who committed murder. The trial has also featured police bodycam footage showing the aftermath of the tragic events.
