Day 3 of the Carly Gregg murder trial in review

JACKSON, Mississippi (WLBT) – The third day of Carly Gregg's murder trial has concluded and the teenager's defense attorneys have officially concluded their case.

The jury heard four witnesses called by the defense: a juvenile, Gregg's stepfather Heath Smylie, Deputy Tony Shack and psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Clark.

The defense began with the teenager and Gregg's stepfather.

They then went to Deputy Shack and presented the court with footage from his body camera as he drove Gregg back to the crime scene.

In this footage you can see the officers handcuffing her and Gregg asking her about her stepfather.

Gregg: “Is my stepfather okay?”

Deputy: “I don't know, baby. I can't talk to you about this right now. Are you okay?”

Gregg: “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Deputy: “She doesn’t even know about her mother.”

The defense questioned the deputy about muting his body camera while speaking to other officers at the scene, but he claims he was merely discussing a “personnel matter” while his body camera was muted.

They then went to Dr. Clark, who conducted a psychiatric evaluation of Gregg after the incident.

He then diagnosed her with bipolar disorder type 2.

According to Dr. Clark, Gregg told him that she had suffered memory loss when she got home during the shooting and that the next thing she remembered was the deputy picking her up.

A week before the incident, the teen's medication was changed from Zoloft to Lexapro, but the doctor says she did not make the change correctly.

Dr. Clark testified that Gregg's mood swings were worsened by the medication on the day of the shooting and that she heard voices.

Dr Clark said he became concerned after watching footage of the incident at home.

“One problem is, you know, when I saw the video from the kitchen at 4:10 p.m., you could hear the shot of her coming in. She seemed cool, calm and emotionless to me. If she had panicked, I would have expected her to be quite agitated and emotionally aroused. I didn't see that at all.”

The doctor was then asked by prosecutors whether Gregg was unaware of her actions, but he said he did not have enough information to determine whether changing medication caused her to engage in the behavior she is accused of.

On the fourth day we were able to see more witnesses and evidence. The judge told the jury that if the case is completed by tomorrow and they are asked to reach a verdict, they will remain in the courthouse until a verdict is reached.
