After prosecutors told Mississippi jurors that Carly Gregg knew right from wrong when, at the age of 14, she shot her mom in the face at home and then lured her stepfather to the residence and shot him in the shoulder, the jury swiftly agreed Friday that the teen, tried as an adult, committed first-degree murder, attempted murder, and evidence tampering.

Gregg, now 15, could face two life sentences behind bars after electing to roll the dice at trial on her insanity defense and turning down the state’s plea offer of a 40-year punishment.
