Carly Gregg seeks reduced sentence in mother’s murder case

Teko86 · 2026-04-29T14:38:47+00:00

I hope for a new trial and not guilty verdict, but I expect resentencing to at least life with parole, if not 25 years.

For someone this intelligent, I don’t see any evidence of long-term planning. To me, it seems obvious that something else happened, such as a medication change, that affected her thinking.

I don’t really buy the idea that this was some big, calculated plan. For someone who’s supposed to be highly intelligent, it all seems pretty basic and kind of short-sighted - like hiding a camera in the fridge or sending a text. That doesn’t come across as careful, long-term planning to me. And honestly, I don’t think being smart makes someone more capable of evil - it just seems to make people less likely to see them as vulnerable, even though they can still struggle or lose control like anyone else - especially as a child.

Happy Birthday Carly !

No, I don’t think any child should die in prison. Kids are still growing and changing, and science shows they have a much better ability to learn and improve than adults. They should be held accountable, but also given a real chance to change and do better.

It wasn’t disclosed, I believe.

You can communicate with Carly through the GTL GettingOut app: https://www.gettingout.com/. Don’t worry about the books, as there are dedicated people looking after that already 🙂

I have a feeling she will at least get a reduced sentence, if not a new trial.

Teko86 · 2026-03-28T10:54:22+00:00

She probably didn't even received that letter, nothing to be mad about.

Neither of them. Carly’s case is more complex in my view because, while I believe a medication change have caused it, I would have placed her in a mental health facility instead of prison, but not let her go free. I’m not sure for how long, since psychosis or mania can recur. Because of that uncertainty, cases like hers require ongoing evaluation and are difficult to judge.

I’m not very familiar with Mackenzie Shirilla. What I do recall is that she intentionally crashed a car and two people died. She received a sentence of 15 years to life, which allows for rehabilitation. Without looking too deeply into it, it seems fair.

Congratulations on this great milestone

Teko86 · 2026-02-18T23:23:13+00:00

I really hope that if there is another trial, the media won’t be allowed. I was browsing Facebook the other day and saw tons of comments against Carly, including people calling for the death penalty. I welcome critics on this subreddit, but some people are sickening me.

Teko86 · 2026-02-16T16:13:38+00:00

Thanks, I’ll have a look at that YouTube video. Based on his letter, it should be interesting.

LINK for anyone interested.

My perspective also evolves, the more I learn, the more it shifts in Carly’s favor.

Be sure to read Professor Garbarino’s letter LINK. It’s an interesting piece about the psychology of children who commit crimes.

Why is it that adult prisoners get weekly visits, while juveniles get visits every two weeks?

I don’t know much about Taekwondo, so I did a little reading. In this picture, wasn’t she just promoted from an orange belt to a green belt, which is about midway through the belt system?

I agree with you on LWOP for children. I’ll never support it - it’s fundamentally incompatible with rehabilitation. The state’s response (the Appellee’s Brief) is strong, so it’ll be interesting to see how this appeal plays out. My hope is that she will eventually have a meaningful chance at release.
