Summary
- Convicted killer Mackenzie Shirilla works in prison food service.
- Her case gained attention from Netflix's 'The Crash' docuseries.
- Shirilla is serving a life sentence for a 2022 fatal crash.
Mackenzie Shirilla, a convicted killer serving a life sentence, has been assigned a prison job in food service at the Ohio Reformatory for Women. This update on Shirilla's life comes as her 2022 case has garnered renewed public interest after being highlighted in Netflix's "The Crash" docuseries.
Prosecutors contended that Shirilla intentionally crashed her vehicle into a building, resulting in the deaths of her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and friend, Davion Flanagan. Evidence indicated the vehicle was traveling at 90 mph in a 35 mph zone, with the accelerator fully engaged and no brake application before impact. The incident occurred on July 31, 2022.
Shirilla's defense team is now seeking an appeal, arguing that trial lawyers inadequately investigated evidence of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that could have caused her to lose consciousness. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley maintains Shirilla's guilt.
