'Hell on wheels': Teen convicted of crashing car at 100 mph, killing boyfriend and friend

The reason why they say this was murder:

Two weeks before the crash, she allegedly threatened to crash her vehicle when she was driving with Russo because she was upset over a disagreement they had. Russo called his mother and asked to be picked up, and a friend ended up retrieving him. In a phone call with Russo, the friend allegedly overheard Shirilla say, “I will crash this car right now,” prosecutors said in court documents.

This isn't a drunk driver, or a thrillseeker, this is someone with murderous intent.

Fucking hell that is horrible. And of course she's the only one to survive. 100mph into a brick building has probably left her pretty physically fucked up and in constant pain. Hope she enjoys feeling that way in prison for the rest of her life.

More of this. Also let's start holding rich people accountable of crimes also.

I am truly sorry for the passengers. Lost life because of teenage perceived hardship is tragic.

From a different perspective, it seems incredibly impressive that anyone survived a deliberate head on collision with a brick wall (that appears to have barely buckled) at 100 MPH / 161 KMH.

Remind me why we allow teenagers to drive 3-ton vehicles again?

Prosecutor: What gear were you in at the moment of impact?

Defendant: Gucci sweats and Reebok Classics.

There are a lot of people in this post spouting their opinion on an article they very clearly did not read.

Jesus, I sympathize, this is awful...i was t-boned by a teen going 85 mph, I wish my attorneys had the same teeth this judge does

Wow the way she's crying is disgusting, she's just sorry for herself not for the deaths she caused. No remorse, only regret for getting sentenced

Anyone with a legal background able to help me understand how two deaths resulted in 4 murder convictions and 2 vehicular homicide convictions?

How did she survive unscathed, while her 2 passengers both died?

Edit: I found another article, she was not unscathed: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12417047/Mackenzie-Shirilla-TikTok-doing-drugs-not-dying-jailed-murdering-boyfriend-friend-drugged-100mph-crash.html

This is an unbelievable tragedy, for all of them. She just turned 18, I wonder what her sentence will be like. I assume that in the US - unlike the situation over here in Europe - there is no special "juvenile justice" for young adults, so she might face multiple lifetimes in prison after being convicted for murder. If I remember correctly you can get separate sentences for each victim, which will sum up to your total sentence.

Confused by the article. Is there a video from inside the car right before the crash?

I wonder of she cried this much too for the two kids she killed. I think she needs a psychiatric institution instead of jail

There sure are a lot of young women named 'Mackenzie'.

She should be in a psychiatric facility. She attempted suicide and murdered two people in the process.

Misread. 18 at time of arrest. Did this happen a month before her birthday?

Permanently Deleted

Guys, she's 18. Her brain isn't even fully developed yet. She's not even capable of fully rationalizing the consequences of her actions yet. I know she did something awful but I don't think there are any winners here.

Let's see what kind of slap-on-the-wrist punishment she's going to get on Monday.

100% guaranteed that if the roles were reversed and an 18 year old boyfriend did this and ended up killing his girlfriend and friend, they would throw the book at him. Our society puts pussy on a pedestal and as such I expect her to get the lightest punishment possible.

How can we make white people conscious of the world they live in and get them to realize they're just another group of people and not living gods?
