Carly Gregg using her phone in the kitchen after gunshots heard inside home (Law&Crime).
Harrowing kitchen camera video played at 15-year-old Carly Gregg’s murder trial on Tuesday appeared to show the Mississippi teen hiding something behind her back and walking towards her bedroom just moments before the sounds of three gunshots and her mother screaming could be heard.
The video from the afternoon of March 19 showed that Gregg, then 14, was at the Brandon residence when 40-year-old Ashley Smylie, her mother and a math teacher in Rankin County, was fatally shot in the face, and that the defendant immediately after the shooting went to the kitchen and started using a phone, as her two dogs hovered around her.
Around the 45-second mark of the footage, Gregg, in a Nirvana T-shirt, could be seen peering into the kitchen, as if to check if someone was there, and appeared to be holding an object behind her back out of view of the camera. Moments later, the first gunshot is fired and Smylie let out two screams. Two more shots were fired.
