A teenage girl killed her mom and invited friend to see the corpse. She will spend rest of her life behind bars

She's 15 now and after watching the security video on X of her murdering her mom and trying to lure her stepdad home I searched around for more info.

I see drugs mentioned often as a motive but all of the articles ever only mentioned her smoking marijuana vapes

quote:

Prosecutors told the court that the shooting was carried out because Smylie had discovered her daughter’s “secret life” with drugs. They painted Carly as a dangerous killer who had “burner phones,” hidden vape pens containing marijuana, and a history of cheating at school and self-harm.


But then I saw someone who watched the trial closely post this

quote:

I watched this entire trial. This baby was only 14. She was on so many drugs from Drs who deemed her "depressed", "anxious", "paranoid", non lucid, non demonstrative. Her ability to control thoughts, emotions, and right from wrong was stolen from her by unnecessary drugs.
This is what happened to how many kids after covid?
Now add in school indoctrination, gender misinformation, over sexualized reading materials.
They came for your kids, and apparently got a few of them.
Now what will happen to her? You won't ever hear another word about her. Cause they'll use her, sell her, experiment on her...
But you won't ever know.
She's 14 years old.

If true, it's yet more evidence to keep your kids off of SSRIs and maybe out of public schools. Almost every school shooter has been on SSRIs at some point.

Killing someone is a major escalation, but it's pretty clear she was void of morals. SSRIs don't affect morality.

She looks off. Like way off. But if you watch the video on Twitter, she knew what she was doing. Cold as hell. Snuck up on her mom and then went back in the kitchen petting the dogs. Was the medication partly or all to blame, who knows. But you can’t make me believe she didn’t understand/know what she was doing

They can make one not care about morality though. Knowing what's right and wrong is different than acting on it. Furthermore having drugs screw with your synapses and cloud your judgement can override one's programming to do right.

I'm not saying this cocktail of prescribed drugs caused her actions, but disregarding it based off of knowing morality is not a fair assessment. If that's the case then people wouldn't have banged so many fat chicks on drunken nights in college

Can you start off with telling us what SSRI’s are?

No. She was.

The meds probably didn’t help, but she’s clearly a little sociopath devoid of any potential for morality.

Young white women are three decades into a multi-generational mental health crisis.

It's more than white women, though

I think asking if SSRIs are contributing is a fair conversation to have

Because he is sexually attracted to me and is mad I rebuke his advances.

Seriously it's because I ignore him and hes oddly obsessed with me to the point of stalking me IRL. He's trying to get me to respond to him

I would say it's pathetic to see a grown man act that way but hes also a drunk with a serious problem so he probably isn't thinking clearly because he's on a binge.

A lot of people won’t feel emotions to how people do when not on SSRI’s. Lexapro and others do this.

Yes. SSRI’s are responsible for the majority of mental issues in 2024

I live in the Madison area, her trial was big news daily.

Let me clean things up here :

1) she was a typical self-centered product of a broken home.
2) the prison psychologist, who has interviewed dozens of intakes, saw no evidence of drug paranoia, psychosis, or delusions
3) her regular shrink, that had seen her on over a dozen scheduled meetings- ditto
4) her family had security cameras in every room of the house, submitted as evidence. On the day of the mother, her Mother went to her room, found a THC vape pen- the Killer then took a 357 and shot Mom 3 times point blank (on camera)

Her surviving “family” hired possibly the worst Defense lawyer available- a TV ad DUI lawyer, who had zero experience in criminal defense.


The Judge had to regularly threaten her Defense team due to irregularities and being over their heads.

Her Defense team advised her to reject the Prosecution recommendation of 40 years with probation, rolled the dice and lost.

Now that she lost bigly in the Jury trial, here comes all the pablum about drugs, SSRI’s etc.

Were they hoping to get sympathy from the jury due to her age?

Haha false correlation dude. Thats like saying every person who has died of complications from diabetes has been on metformin so metformin must have caused the issue. I have never had a patient on ssris kill someone and I’ve been practicing a long arse time.
That being said, they are over prescribed. Lifestyle modifications and therapy should always be first line with medication as a last resort. Ssris all too often cause affective blunting/emotional dulling.. you won’t feel anxious.. you won’t feel anything.. that’s actually a VERY common side effect along with sexual side effects. Ssris can anorgasmia.. which can actually be a treatment for all you premature ejaculators

Leber said she met with Gregg for the last time on March 12, a week before the shootings. At this appointment, a medication switch occurred after Gregg complained of feeling “like a zombie.” Leber said she told Gregg to taper off the Zoloft she was taking, while starting on a new medication, Lexapro. According to Leber, Gregg never reported hearing voices or having lapses in her memory.

Zoloft is a SSRI.

Society won't accept that 1 to 2 % of the population cannot feel empathy and actually have a sexual fetish for causing pain in others. It's not because of trauma, broken homes or drugs. They are born that way and it's probably an evolutionary trait that was beneficial along the way.
