Live From the Courtroom (Updated)

Watch the third day of the Carly Gregg trial live-streamed below, courtesy of Court TV.  This morning will probably be a key point in the trial as Gregg's expert psychiatrist, Dr. Andrew Clark, will testify in support of her insanity defense.  Will his testimony be a dash to victory for the defense or a Pickett's Charge? Only time will tell.

Carly Gregg Day 3 00:10:55 ON THE RECORD 00:11:07 Carly Gregg Speaks 00:20:36 Juvenile defense witness 1 - S.K. 00:41:19 Defense Witness 2 - Heath Smylie, defendant’s stepfather, surviving victim 01:03:35 Defense Witness 3 - Deputy Tony Shack, Criminal Interdiction Unit, Rankin County Sheriff’s Office 03:05:31 Defense Witness 4 Dr. Andrew Clark, forensic psychiatrist, based in Cambridge, MA 06:18:35 Motion to Exclude Testimony 06:29:52 CROSS: Defense Witness 4 Dr. Andrew Clark, forensic psychiatrist 07:59:41 Redirect: Defense Witness 4 Dr. Andrew Clark, forensic psychiatrist


(31:00) Judge Arthur calls Gregg to the stand and explains her rights to her.  The judge asked Gregg if she wished to testify.  Gregg replied she wanted to wait and see what the testimony was.  Judge Arthur said it was her right to do so and proceeded to the next witness.

I hope the grandparents didn’t mortgage their house for this

The video ended any hope she had.

That video. Its chilling. Thank goodness it exists cause if you just told the story, the skepticism would be high.

The insanity defense comes out.

I’m still wondering who ordered Dr Mark Webb who is classified online as forensic psychiatrist and by accounts made in media he made 4 trips to jail to interview Carly, what happened here??? Was this ordered by court and if so what was the outcome. Can anyone explain, I heard this after she was arrested he would evaluate her and did thru tv and others media, I’m no lawyer, what’s the deal???

9/18/24 at 12:00 pm, that was a defense examination. Prosecutor is not entitled to it unless he plans to testify.

After the Insanity Defense Reform Act, the defense has the burden of proving the defendant’s insanity by clear and convincing evidence, i.e. an affirmative defense.

No expert witness testifying with respect to the mental state
or condition of a defendant . . . may state an opinion or
inference as to whether the defendant did or did not have
the mental state or condition constituting an element of the
crime charged or of a defense thereto (Fed).

At the time of the crime you are charged with commit-
ting, were you so mentally ill that the court should find you
not criminally responsible? See videos.

Is voluntary drug use a defense? Nope. Is withdrawal an excuse? US V Fisher, Nope.

Dr Clark, knowing you have little neuro and pharmacological training, how can you opine that change in an SSRI is a trigger for a 15 minute episode of complete psychosis and detachment from reality? Where are the peer reviewed studies?

Civil DUI or personal injury lawyers playing in criminal court, with lives on the line. THAT ought to be a crime.

the harvard yard comes to rankin county. now that's a first.

All defendants are presumed to be sane unless they can prove that–at the time of committing the criminal act–the defendant’s state of mind caused them to:

Not have the mental capacity to know what they were doing when they committed the said act, or
That they knew what they were doing, but did not know that it was wrong.
A common example for the second prong is if a person is acting on orders from “God.”

See video. See texts. See furtive behavior. See flight. See discovery of contraband by Mom. See Stockholm Syndrome of Mr. Smiley Face and MeeMaw (whose comments were apparently of no value).

Why would you bring this forward?

to 12:37 there is no such thing as a ''civil'' dui in mississippi.
this case is not in federal court therefore the insanity defense reform act is not applicable.
parents and psychiatrists proscribing and supplying meds to a minor is not an issue since a minor cannot consent to anything.
launching a defense strategy that you are too stupid to understand is never going to be a crime.
this is for sure.........you are not a lawyer , but you play one on jackson jambalaya.

defendant is a nirvana fan. anyone remember kurt cobain?

The feed is fine and perfect at YT.

I'm going to say this again, so pay attention this time: There is no good that comes from the use of weed. Period.

Well she appeared sane and fine while being arrested as well. She was not in a trance

Anonymous said...

invariably an insanity defense comes down to one phycharist testifiyng the defendant is sane and another testifying just the opposite.

check out defendants t shirt in the video.

Who has been treating her while she waited for trial?

Good cross hammering Dr Feelgood on vol. intoxication, reports from clinicians she liked never reporting all this disassociation or voices. At all. Much less the "convenient timing" of never reporting voices until in custody. Love the "strange handwriting" journal notes and "sketch interpretation." Reminds me of the Korean Parasite art interpretation scenes. But, hey, the knife, alternative school, tats, piercing, drama claims. Sorry to see Dewey exclude this wasted afternoon but he has to. So hilarious to hear him ask Dr FeelGood about "statute" and introducing him to the "We Make it Up as We Go Along" technique. But, Mass. appears to parallel Miss in many ways on ID. Instructions will be interesting. Don't forget to cross on LITERATURE. Doc, show me the paper. The peer reviewed paper. And your pharmacy degree.

There are no winners here in this case. Carly is definitely is a troubled child. I just pray that she is put in a safe place that gets her help and is not out in society where she could potentially harm others if she has the freedom to obtain illegal substances and hang with other kids that condoned her behavior. My heart does go out to the family that is searching for answers and an answer to their hurt over a lost loved one. But she CANNOT go free and must be kept in a safe place where she cannot hurt others.

Dr. Clark's testimony is shameless! andrewclarkmd.com

to 3;58...sorry my dear , the law doesn't supply '' safe places''.....its prison or whitfield for the defendant. and no matter where she ends up.......anywhere there are incarcerated people there will be staff smuggling in contraband including illegal substances.

That hired gun psychiatrist has quite a sideline going. Gig after gig of jetting around the country, testifying for defense lawyers, and getting paid vast sums of money. This was his 151st such trial doing that...and (surprise, surprise) his first time in Mississippi.

Anonymous said...

so what's your point 6:35?

Anonymous said...

If Carly didn’t know where she was or time, blah blah like Quack Clark said; how could she read and know to text Heath and lay waiting on him? I do not concur with Dr. Clark. 100% in full capacity of her surrounding knowing EXACTLY what she was doing & that murder was wrong. She knew to hide her vape pens as well. Just wish her parents had secured their fire arms so we would not be here.

Only in Mississippi do we sentence human traffickers to nominal prison time while offering at 14 year old child a 40 year plea deal. It’s sad. It’s sad that the bumpkins will fall for the marijuana red herring. And all the attorneys I’ve seen in this case have sucked - prosecution and defense.

I loved Parasite. If you are into Korean films check out Oldboy.It’s wild..

Heard Region 8

Okay 7:06 just for you I'll spell it out. The man sells his shingle to provide custom testimonies to defense lawyers. He takes the stand, they flash his education and bona fides, and he tells the jury what the defense wants them to hear.

Anonymous said...

to 8:11...since you know so much about all this tell us what prosecution experts do?

Anonymous said...

What is a Pickett’s Charge? I have looked and can’t find out what you mean?

Anonymous said...

Many children never even have a chance due to the sick family systems they're born in to by no choice of their own. This is one of millions children that will feed the corporate correctional, corporate healthcare, and corporate media systems complexes that make gabillions off of these tragic occurrences. While we all watch Rome burn....

I could almost believe her being affected by her medication or mental problems if she didn’t hide the gun behind her back from the camera that she clearly had the ability to remember was there. Also the fact that she hid that camera before her stepdad got home. That was obviously clear thinking.

Anonymous said...

I hate to admit it but kinda agree with 8:11, otherwise, why would defense object to Mark WebbMD testifying. Why would defense not like Webb’s diagnosis and call in August for an out of state doctor hunting person when court had ordered this way before. While 99% are heartbroken over this, to let this child back out in society would be a greater health threat. Remember Luke Woodham.

September 18, 2024 at 7:06 PM, do you have another question for September 18, 2024 at 8:11 PM, while they are on the stand?

The fact she contacted a friend to come share in her deed speaks volumes.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
