First problem: Equine therapy for hallucinations ?
Second problem: That would have had no bearing on an insanity plea. Under Mississippi law the knowledge of or lack thereof right from wrong is the standard. Her evaluations bore out that she did in fact know right from wrong and if there was any doubt left, the home surveillance video showed that she did know that what she had done was wrong.

She was having hallucinations as a child? To me, that sounds like schizophrenia and does in fact make me question her mental stability. I don’t like her criminal actions, but I can see why the defense would push this idea regarding a retrial.

Keep in mind, these statements came from her bio dad who literally caused her trauma and is not the best authority on her life details.

Granted. I don’t like that the dad did drugs, reportedly blew marijuana smoke in her face and gave her beer as a minor.

Yeah, he is too little, too late with his efforts to help her. The damage is done.

years old, was 14 when she was convicted of murder, attempted murder and tampering with evidence after shooting her mother and stepfather and inviting a friend to see their bodies. At trial, Gregg pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and argued she had suffered from mental illness at the time of the shooting.

Gregg filed her appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court in September, arguing multiple failures at her trial that she believes merit her conviction being tossed and a new trial ordered. On Thursday, the state’s highest court agreed to hear the appeal and scheduled oral arguments for May 27.

In a reply brief filed earlier this year, Gregg maintains that she was compelled to sit for psychiatric examinations by state experts before her team had formally announced their intention to pursue an insanity defense. Gregg’s defense argued the exams she was forced to undergo violated her Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights. “Accelerating evaluations and discovery to preserve a trial date undermines due process and fundamental fairness,” the brief states.

I'm not surprised they are getting this. I do wonder if one of her defense attornies (Britney Todd) will be on her team this time around. She has been quite controversial and I think she is the main reason CG may get a new trial.
