The Carly Gregg Postgame Show: Gregg Gets New Lawyer

Carly Gregg changed pitchers in the appeal of her murder conviction. Carthage attorney James Murphy entered an appearance for Gregg at the Mississippi Supreme Court yesterday.  

A 14 year-old Gregg killed her mother and shot her stepfather a year ago in Rankin County.  A jury convicted Gregg and sentenced her to life in prison without parole.  

Attorneys Bridget Todd and Kevin Camp represented Gregg.  Gregg filed a notice of appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court.  Although Camp entered an appearance for Gregg, Todd did not do so even though she publicly stated she would handle Gregg's appeal "all the way to the Supreme Court" if need be.  Thus the only counsel of record prior to Murphy was Camp.  

Todd moved to Utah several months ago.  Several Todd clients have complained about the attorney in their respective court filings.  One former client sued her for malpractice after a trial verdict was overturned because Todd allegedly did not submit required documents to the Court.  Earlier post.  Another former client faces contempt of court and over $10,000 in fines because Todd allegedly did not tell her to submit financial statements to the Court and blew off all demands by the Court for said documents.  Earlier post.

James Murphy is not an improvement in this situation.

Has Bridget Todd been licensed to practice law in the State of Utah?

If not, why is she being held out publicly as engaged in the practice of law with a Logan, Utah, law firm?

Does she have a leg to stand on? Laying in wait to kill her stepfather & appears premeditated to kill her mom! Very very calm which is scary!

James Murphy is not an improvement in this situation. I agree with 2:48. He's a civil law, workers comp. attorney. I'm not sure how this helps.

Ineffective counsel jumps immediately to mind-

anonymous said...

once and for all please be advised that ineffective assistance of counsel is the most often alleged and the least effective grounds of post conviction relief.
will you trolls ever figure that out?

Hold ma beer. Some of y’all said Bridget Todd was a hottie. I believe Robert Palmer sang about this in the 70’s….”a pretty face, don’t make no pretty heart, I learned that, right from the start”. With that being said Todd is running scared because she isn’t what people thought she was professionally. This Gregg girl needs to just take the punishment. She did the crime and that’s all on video. If I remember, Todd wanted to take in Gregg and be her legal guardian. Maybe she thought about waking up in the middle of the night with the “furry” holding a gun to her head or a knife. That’s a lot to think about when the Dr’s have said the girl is crazy. She is a furry and that’s all you need to know.

There is no attorney with the surname of Todd licensed with the Utah State Bar. https://services.utahbar.org/Member-Directory

A Lawyer by the name of "Murphy".
Now remind me again the whole thing about "Murphy's Law"?!

What the hell is a 'furry'. And oddly enough, Kingfish is the only one who knows Todd was referred to as Hot and a Hottie. Those posts were rejected. Hmmm.

I did? Yeah, I remember comments approved and unapproved from weeks or months ago. You've been watching Young Sheldon too much.

I thought I followed that entire bizarre case from start to finish, but I guess that I missed the part about Carley being a "furry".

6:47, a "furry" is one of those weird folks that like to put on cartoon animal costumes and pretend they are the animal. I had never heard of this mental illness until I had to share a hotel with them in Atlanta a few years ago. We were having a normal business conference and the "furry people" were having a full blown convention. I had never seen such until then.

I would have never guessed Carley Gregg was into that lifestyle.

But then again, I would have never guessed she would calmly kill her mother and then casually play with the family dogs ... while calling a friend to come over and look at the body.

I’m under the impression that a young teen can not be sentenced to life but only 20 years.
Her Mom found her weed. My Mom found my weed BUT I didn’t kill her. What pretense of life was she living under? Teenagers today need to live by real world standards!
Wake up parents or your kid just may kill you.

To not put on sentencing evidence in a case like this is indefensible. And likely will get her relief from her sentence. But that will likely have to come through a post-conviction proceeding and not direct appeal. She will need better lawyers than she’s had to navigate that.

Kevin Camp is great just wish he didnt let Bridget drag him into this case.

Todd should have stuck to theater when she was growing up... she definitely a clown

Legal Aids are engaged in law practice with law firms too.

As many attorneys as we churn out every year in Mississippi there are maybe 3 or 4 in the entire state that could even begin handling this appeal in hopes of lessening her life sentence. The Gregg family doesn't have enough $$$ to make that happen.

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.
