If not, it won't. BTW, Judgement Notwithstanding the Verdict means that the jury ignored every piece of obvious exculpatory evidence, and went completely against their oath to be impartial, and found a defendant guilty. An example would be, a man is accused of murder and there's an eyewitness to a man standing over a body. The elderly man (eyewitness) claims it was the defendant. The defendant, however, was out of town at a wedding, and calls 10 witnesses to verify his location. The jury was shown the murder scene, which the defense claimed to be prejudicial and tried to have removed as evidence. The judge denied it. Defendant is found guilty. Since the appellate courts only deal in matter of law, his whereabouts wouldn't/couldn't be in question. What the defense would have a right to argue is that displaying the murdered victim and gore, prejudiced the jury. This is why JNOV (Judgement Notwithstanding...) will not be honored, here.

@@terribellettini450 You should feel very blessed,as you are. It doesn’t work out that easily for everyone. Something was definitely “off” in her mind. It’s also more difficult to diagnose and treat an adolescent who’s mentally ill opposed to an adult in their early twenties and up. Carly was obviously having difficulties since all we know is that she was acting out but her mother refused to put her on meds.(That’s my understanding). I think Carly should’ve had several extensive evaluations before the murder,especially since the mom denied her child the meds bc maybe if more evaluations were permitted then Carly’s psychiatrist could’ve possibly discovered a more severe diagnosis that would have required medication. Don’t get me wrong,bipolar disorders 1 and 2 are severe enough for meds for the person diagnosed and for people associated with them. But knowing that she wasn’t on meds before her mom’s death I highly believe that a thorough investigation should have been done within the family,other family members to describe the family, friends,teachers, and anyone who knew the step-dad. In the video of her in the kitchen after she shot her mom she may not have appeared to be insane,but she certainly seemed much “too normal” for committing a heinous crime and I find that to be very abnormal.People aren’t born mean. Something had to be going on at home or school that was maybe overlooked or ignored altogether. There’s a puzzle piece missing to why this happened and I can’t believe that she was sentenced to life without parole with so many unanswered questions. What ever happened to sending those who committed a crime to a mental facility so they could get the help they needed and be rehabilitated? This child’s life is over and there are grownups in prison for murder doing less time than her. I’m not saying she shouldn’t do any time,of course she should do time to learn that what she did was so wrong. She needs to come to terms with what she’s done and then she needs to grieve . However long it takes , Carly deserves a chance at rehabilitation .

To all the people in the comment section who believe that Carly was too young to understand the crime that she committed, that her mental health issues were so bad that she did not know what she was doing, and that believe she should not spend the rest of her life in prison, I ask do you feel the same way about Colt Gray and Ethan Crumbley? This is a genuine question, I really want to know because I don't see many people rallying around them. If you look at the facts of this case what Carly did was equally horrible even if she only had one victim. Colt seems to have had more issues that Carly that contributed to his mental health with an addict mom, possible DV in the home, and being bullied. Same with Ethan. So why? Why does no one say they deserve mercy or a chance at parole?

[@susiemc1015]

The Doctor who said that he didn’t believe the dad was bipolar got it right. He knew, from what he had, that the father might have been improperly diagnosed. I knew a friend who took LSD in the early 90s and has never come out of the trip. It altered her mind forever. Now is that my friend having mental illness, yes. But drug induced is not something that could be hereditary and passed on. Carley Gregg hiding that gun from the view of the camera while she texted her step-dad is proof she knew what she was doing. The gun is never visible in that video. She knew that as long as her mom was alive, she couldn’t take that camera down. She had to kill get mom first. That’s calculated. Last thing I have to say is that Todd lawyer is a liar and a snake. She tried her best to weasel her way out of the charges.

I think the jury got it 100 percent correct, but of course the defense attorney is going to say he’s disappointed. He lost. What is he realistically supposed to say in that situation? He’s not publicly going to agree with the verdict, even if he knows the jury is right.

[@limlianhui9462]

Carly’s attorney’s are really milking the mental health angle. During an episode, Schizophrenic sufferers talk to themselves a lot, while bi-polar is serious mood swings, a lot of shouting, throwing things, being completely illogical-symptoms are very noticeable and the sufferer wouldn’t be able to act completely normal to anyone like we see her do on the home security cameras and the police footage. She moved purposefully, concealed the gun behind her back twice - when taking it to kill her mother and then when going back to the kitchen to retrieve her phone on the counter. Someone going through an episode of mental illness cannot even think logically, let alone plan things-they keep on reacting. They blow up, shouting and screaming, in a violent episode might hurt or kill whoever is in their path, and don’t stop until they are forcibly stopped or the episode ends.

I believe her lawyers pushed her to decline the plea as her defense thought for sure they had the ball in their court. Thinking they'd get her a softer sentence or off the hook. Her lawyers were arrogant and led her straight into a life sentence. Their appeals won't change the judge's mind.
