What seemed to be an ordinary day in Mississippi, turned into a gruesome nightmare that shocked an entire community and left family, friends and even strangers speechless. Carly shot her mother, Ashley Smiley, a high school math teacher, in the house of the family. And after she had murdered her, Carly did not run away or hid. Instead, she called a friend and invited her with the terrifying words, There is an emergency. My mother is inside. This tragic and disturbing story raises many questions. What drives a teenager to commit such a gruesome crime? What happened in the following time? And how did it come that this young girl had to spend the rest of her life behind bars? In today's video, we will focus on the details of Carly Gregg's shocking crimes, on the trial that held the state of Mississippi in its grasp, and on the disturbing behavior that led to her life sentence without the possibility of a trial. Stay tuned as we explore one of the most disturbing murder cases of teenagers in younger history. On March 19, 2023, Carly Gregg and her mother, Ashley Smiley, returned home after a normal school day at Northwest Rankin High School, where Ashley taught math and Carly was in her first year of study. But behind the scenes, Carly led a dangerous and hidden life. The trial found that Ashley had uncovered Carly's secret. The 14-year-old was drug-dependent, used a walkie-talkie to hide her behavior, and took part in activities that disturbed her mother. Carly was also caught cheating at school and had a history of self-injury. The prosecutor's office argued that Carly made this discovery so out of fashion that she planned the murder of her own mother. That afternoon, Carly found her mother's .53 revolver. Without hesitation, she shot Ashley Smiley in the family home with several shots. The details of the murder are gruesome. A surveillance video shown during the trial showed that Carly had hidden the gun behind her back shortly before she entered her mother's bedroom. The tape shows three shots, followed by Ashley's desperate cries for help, which mark the last moments of her life. Carly's next actions were just as frightening. Instead of fleeing or calling for help, she texted her stepfather and pretended to be her mother. The message was, When are you coming home, honey? Heath Smiley, Carly's stepfather, answered without hesitation. When he arrived at the house, Carly also shot him. But he survived the gunshot wound to the shoulder. Heath managed to bring Carly to the ground and hold her until the police arrived. The officers were stunned by what they saw. Ashley's lifeless body lay in her bedroom, while Carly remained shockingly calm and even invited a friend to watch the gruesome scene. When her friend arrived, Carly asked, Have you ever seen a corpse? This question should leave a lasting impression, because it clarified the complete lack of conscience that Carly seemed to show at this point. As the investigators began to put together the events of that day, more and more disturbing details about Carly's behavior came to light. Carly had carefully staged the entire scenario and even tried to destroy evidence after the murder. She tried to cover up her tracks by cleaning up the crime scene and disposing of her mother's phone. The friend she had invited into the house was initially horrified, but soon became an important witness to the indictment. This friend remembered the terrible calm Carly was in when she revealed the dead body of her mother and claimed Carly had behaved as if nothing had happened. The police shortly after arrived, arrested Carly at the crime scene and began with the investigations that brought light to a dark and deeply disturbed teenager psyche. Further investigations revealed more about Carly's secret life. She used marijuana-infused vape pens that she hid from her parents and relied on a risky behavior that her mother did not know about until the days before her murder. The prosecution argued that Ashley confronted Carly with her drug use, which escalated Carly's anger and eventually led her to murder. During the investigations, the police discovered a disturbing video that was recorded by a surveillance camera in the house. The recordings show how Carly hides the gun behind her back just a few moments before she enters her mother's bedroom. This disturbing evidence was shown during the trial and was crucial in drawing a clear picture of Carly's preliminary actions. But it wasn't just the physical evidence that shocked the court. Carly's cold behavior and her lack of remorse disturbed many who followed the case and at the moment she was taken into custody, Carly showed little emotion, even when she was confronted with the severity of her actions. This cold should later play an important role in the trial because the prosecution argued that Carly was not only dangerous, but also not rehabilitable. Carly's trial began later in the same year and it quickly became clear that her mental state would be a central point of discussion. Carly's defense team argued that she suffered from severe mental problems, including anxiety disorders, depressions and possibly a non-diagnosed bipolar disorder. They argued that she had a psychotic breakdown on the day of the murder, suffered and was unable to fully understand her actions due to her acute mental problems. However, the prosecution had a different point of view. They described Carly as a calculating and dangerous person who had carefully planned the murder of her mother. Evidence from Carly's phone records showed that she was looking for ways to cover up the crime and her methodical attempts to lure her stepfather home clarified her intention. The video recordings showing Carly wearing the gun undermined the argument of the prosecution that the murder was committed on purpose. The accused was also shown a video of Carly's police interrogation in which she described the events of the day in a terrifying way. Although she was 14 years old, Carly appeared to be distanced when she described the shooting of her mother and her stepfather. This lack of remorse became one of the main points for the prosecution, which argued that Carly was a persistent danger to society. After four days of testimony and only two hours of counselling, the accused was found guilty. Carly Gregg was found guilty of first-degree murder, attempted murder and the manipulation of evidence. The judge sentenced Carly to life imprisonment without the possibility of probation, a rare punishment for such a young woman who the court considered necessary in view of the nature of her crime. The courtroom was silent when the verdict was read, but the scope of the event was invisible. At only 15, Carly would spend the rest of her life behind bars, losing her youth to a crime that shocked the nation. The tragic story of Carly Gregg reminds us of the dangers that can lurk What looked like a typical rebellious phase was actually the precursor of a brutal and preliminary murder that took the life of an innocent mother and the life of many other people. While Carly will spend her future in prison, the questions about her mental health and the missing warning sign remain. Could something have been done to prevent this tragedy? What role did mental illnesses and drug use play that led a young girl to such a terrible crime? The story of Carly Gregg is a sobering example of how important consciousness is for mental health, especially among young people.
