- Mackenzie Shirilla has been sentenced to 15-years-to-life in prison for the deadly 2022 crash that claimed the lives of 20-year-old Dominic Russo and 19-year-old Davion Flanagan.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo sentenced Shirilla to 15-years-to-life in prison for both murder charges she was found guilty of, with the two sentences to be served concurrently. She will also receive credit for time already served and have her driver's license permanently suspended.
The sentencing means that Shirilla will first be eligible for parole in 15 years.
Family members of both victims addressed the court at Monday's sentencing, as did Shirilla's mother. A sobbing Shirilla read a statement apologizing to the families involved.
"To the families of Dom and Davion, I am so deeply sorry," she said. "I hope one day you can see how I'd never let this happen or do it on purpose. I wish I could remember what happened. I'm just so sorry. I'm heartbroken. I loved Dom and Davion. We were all friends and Dom was my soulmate. I wish I could take all your pain away. I am so sorry. And to my family, thank for the support and all the love you guys give. Thank you for fighting with me. I love you all so much."
Monday's sentencing comes one week after Russo found Shirilla guilty of all counts -- including four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault and two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide.
“This was not reckless driving. This was murder," Judge Russo said moments before announcing her verdict in the bench trial on Aug. 14.
It's a case that dates back to Sunday, July 31, 2022, when Strongsville police say a crash happened at 6:15 a.m. near the intersection of Progress and Alameda. Upon their arrival, officers say they located a Toyota Camry “with severe damage and full airbag deployments.”
All three occupants inside the vehicle -- including Shirilla -- were unconscious, not breathing and trapped inside the vehicle. Russo (Shirilla's boyfriend) and Flanagan were both pronounced dead at the scene.
“The video clearly shows the purpose and intent of the defendant," Judge Russo said. "She chose a course of death and destruction that day.”
Shirilla was 17 years old at the time of the crash.
"She morphs from a responsible driver to literal hell on wheels as she makes her way down the street," Judge Russo continued during her verdict announcement. "Mackenzie alone made the decision to drive the car, to drive an obscure route, a route she visited a few days before, and a route not routinely taken by her. Mackenzie alone chose a time to make the drive, early in the morning, when any reasonable person would expect a few people would be nearby to witness it or offer life-saving assistance. She made these decisions despite knowing, as any reasonable person would, that her mission of death could've involved others not even in the car with her -- other people, other cars, pedestrians."
Judge Russo said Shirilla had "a mission" and "executed it with precision."
"Mackenzie alone decided to push the pedal to the floor and demand the ultimate speed of that vehicle to 92 mph. She alone decided what was to be. Mackenzie decided death was the ultimate goal that day, and she alone made that decision for Dominic and Davion."
The prosecution had said Shirilla crashed the car to end her toxic and tumultuous relationship with Russo.
"There is no doubt that this happened because of the relationship with Dominic and the defendant’s intent was clearly to end that, and she took everybody that was in the car with her," said Tim Troup of the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.
At Monday's sentencing, family members of the victims asked the judge for consecutive sentences, while the prosecution pointed to Shirilla's social media posts after the accident as evidence that she had shown a lack of remorse for her actions. Shirilla's mother, Nathalie, apologized to the victims' families for the situation they were in, but also defended herself against accusations that she was more concerned with the perception on social media than the deaths of the two victims.
Russo said that her toughest decision in the sentencing came down to whether or not to have the two 15-year sentences run consecutively or concurrently. While she ultimately opted to have them run concurrently, she also said that she believes there's a "very good likelihood" Shirilla will spend the rest of her life in prison.
Shirilla's case has captured widespread attention with news of her guilty verdict appearing on various national sites, including People.com and The Daily Beast.
“We know you’re innocent”. That statement by the father explains how she was raised. No accountability, no responsibility.
The dad should have been held in contempt for that shit. Imagine being at the murder trial for your son or daughter and the convicted killer's family gets to say that kind of stuff.
Exactly!!
That's unbelievable that he said that shit.... 🤦🏻
with a family like that its no suprise she turned out so bad.

How do you figure@@hoolydooly5072 ? Contempt is when you disrupt, delay, or impede a court proceeding, or if you are disrespectful to the court. His statement, after the judge had ruled and left the bench, did none of that.

15 years for two murders. Wonder what the sentence would’ve been if a 17 year old boy killed two women like this. She should never get out of prison.

She's eligible for parole in fifteen. She got fifteen to life
She should never be eligible for parole. Why even give her the opportunity for parole ?
imagine a black or mexican kid doing this he would never see the light of day.
Its not a murder its a accident u peace of s.h.i..t. she is a child.
15 years for intentionally murdering two young men? People do more time for drugs. Our justice system needs an overhaul...
Different states have different laws and different judges and each case of each individual is treated separately. You will never produce a single justice system with the same punishment all across the country, and it wouldn't be a good thing if you could anyway.
Look at what murdering a dog would get you.... They value animal life more than human life
@@TylerChamb Having a consistent judicial system would be a good thing, across the board. You'd have to be insane to think a "pick and choose based on how you feel" system is a good thing.

@@TylerChamb hahaha your comment is hilarious XD
The enabling of her family is disgusting. But it says a lot about why she genuinely thought she wouldn’t be held accountable for her actions.
Yes they enabled this and more which we are unaware of. There is evidence to support the notion that we have millions of troubled families like this one but most do not result in obvious tragedies but do result in stunted adults with poor judgement which affect how our society functions. It is time to have a broader discussion of the long-term consequences.
@@UnMoored_ "Troubled families" lol. Sorry, but those families are the reason why we're not allowed to discipline our children anymore without a visit from CPS. They think their children are perfect, and that spanking or even yelling at your kids is abuse. Now we have an entire generation that is supposedly the most narcissistic generation to ever exist in recorded history.
i agree. I think if narcissists have children, then after psychological evaluation, must be sentenced too. Why are people having children so easily, if all they care about is themselves? its a brain disorder that needs attention and focus by the government. But, i dont hold hope, because those in power never feel, or cry. They just are.
I haven't been following this case very closely. How has the family been enabling her?
Ahh. Just caught the family saying, "You're innocent". Didn't catch it the first time.
She drove the route the day before which speaks to premeditated and her father disrespectfully yells out “You’re innocent”. How disgustingly disrespectful to the victims families who may also been in the courtroom.🤬🤯😡
The mother's speech on the podium was even more disgusting. Totally delusional.
Parents should have been charged too. What a monster they created!
@zanenobbs352 sickening parents. She killed two people, and there are still coddling her. No wonder why she thought she was going to get off.
@@zanenobbs352😂
Yeah that whole family is trash. If I found out my kid killed two people out of premeditated murder - that ain't my kid anymore.
Sadly she’ll probably be out in 15 yrs while she’s still young enough to enjoy her life, while her victims won’t have the same luxury. What a psychopath.
If she becomes a trustie and double time served she could be out in 7.5yrs, that's sad.

@@mountainmonk5874and then she can start OF and she will get a ton of attention because of her past and she will become millionare. Thats the world we live in.
@@johnwild8217 Indeed. Here in Brazil a woman, Suzane Richthoen, is infamous for having carefully premeditated and executed the atrocious murder of both her parents, bashing their heads with baseball bats while they were still in bed. Parents were german immigrants, father being a well-stablished eginneer and the mother was a psychiatrist, she was looking for the inheritance. This in 2002, the sentence she got was 39yr, and guess what? She's already out for a year now, opened a little instragram business to sell sandals and the idiots over here are buying it like crazy.
I have no doubt that what you said is very likely to be considered prophetic down the road.
Ohio State has what’s called the 85% law. Where violent offenders do at least 85% of their sentences. It’s also doubtful that she will be a model prisoner and stay out of trouble.
15 years for murdering 2 PEOPLE!? That’s a bunch of bs

I know I had to rewind it to see if I heard it correctly
@ashadecastro276 same here!
The fact that she's crying is not because she killed those men, but because she's caught red-handed and has to face justice for her actions is disgusting.

That’s the thing you say about all people who’ve done bad things . Maybe you should shut your mouth .
Sounds like failed parenting to me. They fostered a malignant narcissist. No accountability. No empathy. Self Entitled. And a desire to do harm onto others. Classic symptoms. I'm sure her parents share no accountability for how their daughter turned out by the sounds of their yell. Probably Narcissists themselves.
Wow what a thorough psychological profile you've come up with. Based on what?

@@aronhauptman1784 based on the whole process from beginning to end and if you fail to see that then you are a literal retard
Sounds like the USA
Meaning she has to do a minimum of 15 before parole even takes a look at her
It always amazes me how the reckless driver in these incidents always seem to make it out alive and unscathed. Getting a minimum of 15 years for snuffing two lives is truly a failure of justice.
In austria, she will get 1-2 years max. In america there is a better justice system
Exactly
its 15 years to life dog meaning she just eligible for parole in 15. doesn't mean they always get out...
I would say this is about as good of a sentence as you could expect. 15 years is an extremely long time and there is no actual intent
Edit: holy sht! I thought this was a standard DUI crash, 15 years is ridiculous, but it's unlikely she will get parole until 30 anyway.
This is an injustice!
She should get more years in prison.
To yell 'You're innocent' in front of the families of the people she murdered is sick and evil on a whole different level.
I hope nothing but the worst for her and her whole family.

Yeah, right. And YOU would have done it differently if it had been YOUR daughter. Right.
Shame on that judge for being lenient in the sentencing. She deserves life with no possibility of parole
I doubt she'll survive 15 years as it is, she's clearly been given everything she ever wanted and never been disciplined. Prison will destroy her, hopefully.
She was 17.....the judge couldn't do that. The only thing she could have done was run in consecutive to make it 30 years to life
It's almost beyond sickening when the father yelled "we know you're innocent." Clearly, he only cares about himself & the well-being of daughter, & doesn't give a damn about the victims or their families. Sick...

Of course, that's his daughter.
@@Danuxsy he can still recognize that she was guilty and still love her

Don't lie.
There's no way she should have a minimum of 15 years after killing two people. She intentionally crashed her car into a building, going 100 mph. There's no way she thought that was going to end well. This entire thing is sickening!

They're just a few of many who thinks their kid could do no wrong and threw that into the victim's family's faces. That's what the entitlement mentality does.

You're stupid, if you were the one put in that situation, and decided to make the mistake to drive 120mph, you would be called a monster or a killer. but in reality, everyone makes mistakes, this girl is innocent and did not deserve a 15 year sentence.

Notice how her face changed when the sentences ran concurrently? That was relief on her face. She holds no remorse.
How can someone like her willfully kill 2 people & only spend 15 years behind bars??
She should have been ordered to serve the sentences consecutively. 15 + 15. That would have been closer to justice. What a disgraceful judge.

I was. It was fucking horrifying. I was 16 and my friend was trying to get me home before his parents got home and realized he stole the car. That's when I found out he stole it. He had been grounded. He got me home in 6 minutes. It was a 20 minute drive at highest recommended speed. We stopped being friends as soon as I got out of the car. Never spoke to him since.
So... why not the Death penalty?
15-to-life is nothing. That means that her minimum time in prison is technically 15 years, which is nothing taking into account that she is serving both sentences concurrently. Life without parole would have been more befitting.

It would do this girl way better if her family were able to tell her “you know what you did was wrong and it cost two people their lives? You messed up, you’ll pay for your actions with prison time but we will be here when you get out”. Something like that… but instead they choose to continue to deny she even did it, and they are yet to show her how to actually be a responsible adult. Truly disgusting.
It would be so hard for them to do that. They are far too emotionally immature. To accept her crime would mean accepting that their daughter that they raised was capable of such a thing. They would have to accept their part in it. They would spend their days wondering what they could have done differently. They would be tortured forever more. It’s much easier psychologically to deny any wrongdoing on hers and subsequently their part.
Intent and accident are two different things. The prosecutor chose the intent, and you and the jury bought it. The parents do not think she is a murderer but rather, she drove recklessly, and the intent was not to kill anyone.
@@DJ-hf1zo I had the same thought. No one can really know her intent.
@@DJ-hf1zofirst it was a bench trial, there was no Jury. Second she drove full acceleration for 4-5 seconds reaching about 100 mph straight into a wall. It's very logical to interpret intent from that, those are not the actions of someone who was simply reckless
All the evidence says She intentionally did an action that any reasonable person knew could result in great bodily harm or death. As a result two people died. She deserves life without the possibility of parole. And if she were a man that would have most likely been the sentence.
A lot of parents are like that, though, so it's not unusual for parents to not believe their kids are capable of murder.
I didn't see any tears... anybody else?
She texted her bf weeks before threatening to crash the car with him in it. Then weeks later, did it. Premeditate af
Her parents are in total denial! They think she's innocent. UNREAL!

Those "parents" are worse than she is
Weak judge. She even said it… it won’t be up to her, it’ll be up to a parole board. Judge took the cowards way out. Mackenzie deserves no less than life in prison without parole. What’s worse is the two sentences will run concurrently not consecutively so she’ll serve 15 years for murdering two people, she’ll get a degree in prison, she’ll write a book about her experience and she’ll be doing better than most Americans all while being housed and fed on the taxpayers dime. What a damn shame
A degree. She a felon. My brother is a felon and he has a hard time getting a job at fast food
Yeah the judge should have gone with consecutive sentencing. Odds are with good behavior the parole board will grant her parole in 15 years. Even worse the families of the boys who were killed will have to tear open their wounds in 15 years when they stand before the parole board to keep her in prison. Hopefully the parole board will make the decision to deny her parole and keep her in prison where she belongs.

Lol@@corpr8dystopia778
I am assuming that the fact that the fathers of both victims explicitly said they did not want her to get the maximum, and that their wives and surviving children sort of hinted at that belief played a role in her getting the minimum sentence, which is frankly not much better than getting the maximum 32 years to life, since she will probably have difficulty finding work, which would mean a large part of her post-prison life in a homeless shelter -- not any better than prison.

I'm pretty sure it was her father. Totally inappropriate and gross
Her father ...this young lady will never take accountability
The sentence was too light.
It's disgusting that the judge issued concurrent sentences. Clearly the lives of the two men she murdered were not of much significance to the justice system.
She must be compassionate liberal and a feminist, that should have been a consecutive sentence.
15 Years? What an insult to the victims are their families. 15 years is nothing to a 20 year old. If she's parole she'll be 35, fresh and out to have a family and live her life. She should have gotten life without parole
im 33 and have no wife or children, I have no chance more to get these the time is over.
Welcome to Matriarchal hell where women hardly have consequences for their actions.
😂😂😂 first off, she'll have her first chance for parole at 15 years. Doesn't mean she's getting out then.
Second, you're delusional if you don't think 15 years is a long time, especially for a teenager
lol what do you mean fifteen years is nothing? Bro you probably couldn't go fifteen _minutes_ without the internet.
Should be life in prison
You don’t have to look far to see why she does not feel she should be held accountable - her father. It should have been at least 30 years.
Family comes first, always. Doesn't matter what you did you always back your family. I'm sorry you have a bad relation with yours.
Where can I find more details. All I understand about the case is that she killed two people in a car accident when she was (possibly?) 17?
Mackenzie knew what she was going to do and she did it. The fact that she thought she too would die and there would be no consequences is her own stupidity. She definitely deliberately murdered 2 innocents with her car as a weapon. She deserves no mercy or sympathy.
Exactly. She figured that by dying with them she wouldn't have to pay the price for her actions, but since she lived now she has to pay. If she can take it into her own hands to kill everyone in the car, then she can absolutely take on the full punishment for it. The victims didn't get a choice, she decided for them that their lives would end. She deserves the maximum penalty for her crime.
No one can judge her but God

I just came across this disturbing video and it sickens me to know that someone so young, has no thought about the care or respect or the life of another human being making it home safe. Shame on her and those who raised her up.

Hey, she's 17 years old, c'mon.
Use your head before judging someone.
Don't be a herd.
@@C1Nuke my thoughts too.. what 17 yo has even fully finished developing or maturing.. better thing would be that they weren't in such serious relationships in the first place.. idk the full story yet.. but how come they were all out at 6.30 am in the morning? Why weren't they either just getting up or still sleeping? Anyway i pray she finds peace and Christ on the other side of the bars.. 17 yo is so young to have the rest of your life ruined bcz you weren't taught how to handle it better.. it's not good that the young men died, but they were both a bit older than her so what were they doing in the car with her so early?
Didn't her parents realise she was obviously NOT in a good place? This world atm is so FULL of injustice in so many ways.. Instead of CON+fusing our children with gender ideolagy and BS & S3X education wouldn't the world be MUCH more progressive if we actually TAUGHT them how to handle life with grace and wisdom?
Skools are a place where they SKRU you over and SKRU YOU UP these days.. NOTHING TO DO with the 3 R's anymore.. it's all about what the SYSTEM can GET OUT OF U.. Use you up and SPIT YOU OUT.. suck you into whatever they want from YOU then DROP you into the ocean of USED GOODS once they're done with what they can GET from YOU..
IF they don't get you one way they'll get you another.. the leg@l system is a KORRUPT RORT.. J@il is a commercial BIZ.. nothing about 'correctional' $y$tem to improve the lot of society.. everything is all about $$ & CON+Troll-ing..
Idkw i even look at things like this.. they always upset me bcz the whole 'damned' system IS KORRUPT.. we see it even in your $COTU$ ruling re Tex@$ this week..
I'm outta here.. all the best to all the ppl involved in this very unfortunate turn of events.. my thoughts are with all the victims from the families of the deceased and the now 18 yo her family to all their families and friends and all others affected by this tragedy.. 🙏
..*and to all those who sit as judge* .. *i hope they think back to their own foolish actions when they were 17yo and most likely older.. remember all you finger pointers there's always 3 fingers pointing back at YOU*
You're stupid, if you were the one put in that situation, and decided to make the mistake to drive 120mph, you would be called a monster or a killer. but in reality, everyone makes mistakes, this girl is innocent and did not deserve a 15 year sentence.
This case leaves us a lesson: never, ever have kids if you're not ready to raise them with sense of responsibility. Raising a kid recklessly it's like releasing a monster in the society.
"We know you're innocent"????? What? Seriously???
If a man did the same thing, he'd have gotten 30 to life minimum. The judge went easy on her
Yep. Masterson's victims of 20 yrs ago have been partying & living the thier life - still alive & he gets 30 minimum.
The father “We know you’re innocent” yea sounds about right. That’s why your daughter will die in prison, because you failed her. That statement alone says everything I need to know about that family and the way they raised their child
Prayers for all families. 🙏
15 years! That is nothing the scumbag should be in prison for life
What are you saying, she didn't kill them with a gun, it's not a teaspoon
Facts, or at the very least 15 & 15 concurrently
@@adamvisingirievso what if its not a gun?? Are you stupid murder isnt based on whatever weapon was used
15 to LIFE! she needs to ask to be paroled in order to leave in 15 years.
None of you fucking morons understand anything. The judge didn't make up the sentence on her own. Ohio law prescribes the penalty of an indefinite sentence of 15 years to life for murder. A sentence of "15 years to life" absolutely does not mean that the person convicted is likely or certain to be released in 15 years.
That's a weak sentence for intentionally killing two people. This judge should be recalled.

As the judge stated "this tragedy will ripple forever in time". The court is holding her accountable for her actions. She is Guilty! Her father should have been held in contempt for disruption of the court. Prayers to the families loss of their loved ones.
1:36 the lawyer was like "this was such an L case, why did I take it..."
She crashes her car on purpose to kill her boyfriend and ends up also killing a passenger and gets 15 years? What's wrong with this picture?
What I don’t understand is that some people don’t find something better to do than to be getting in trouble, when freedom is such a beautiful thing.
She was trying to commit SUICIDE nutmuffins, not just "get into trouble". 🙄
I love freedom
Exactly the biggest problem in both Europe and America.
What you don't seem to understand is that this girl had mental health and drug issues. This was a suicide attempt.
@@kbrewski1 Who tf cares? If she wanted to commit suicide she could've done so without dragging 2 other people into it.
That look of relief on her face when she heard that the sentences would run concurrently made my blood boil.
why? concurrently is not a good thing. it means a minimum of 30 years. the judge said she'll probably be a lifer.
@@CRT4DummiesConcurrent only means the sentences are being served at the same time.. meaning if you had two sentences you can complete serving of one sentence while still serving another.. consecutive means you have to serve one sentence before serving another.. which means you usually spend more time in prison serving consecutive sentences vs concurrent

She will eventually get out because she was a minor. You can sentence a minor to "life" but have to allow for the possibility of parole. So real justice for the victims and their families will never really be done.
This is the scary part about court, learning your sentence.
The parents of this criminal live in an alternate universe. The father shouting as she was taken away was so horrible. But it does explain alot. I hope the victims families can cind some kind of peace. ❤
They should get some prison time for their sheer stupidity.
What did he shout?
We know you're innocent @@chrisfield9777
@@chrisfield9777he said you are innocent. 🤯
You would do the same for your child. Yes she killed people. She will pay the price. But she still has value to her parents who love her. And that’s the way it should be. There are very very few people who are un redeemable and unworthy of parental love and forgiveness.
Hey i think she should get life without parole! She intentionally killed them boys
How on earth did she walk away from that unscathed? Evil girl.
The father of one of the victims is a saint. I could never be this forgiving in saying he didn't want her to spend the rest of her life in prison.
"It’s horrible for everybody. Yeah, I lost my son, it’s harder on our family, but I don’t want the rest of her life ruined, too. It isn’t going to make me feel any better,” he said. He called her “a kid” who “did a damn stupid thing.”
Sexism at its finest. The lives of two young men, deliberately taken, are apparently only worth 15 years of that young woman's. Less even if she has "good behavior" while incarcerated. Disgusting.
Female privilege is 10,000 times more prevalent than any "white privilege".
So… what’s new?
I wonder what the sentence would have been if she was a black or Hispanic man?
The same? I think not.
This happens in the U.K. too.
Also, I noticed how she kept shaking her head when the judge was speaking. I don’t think that was in disbelief at the deliberate thing she had done.
Why take two innocent people with you if you want to kill yourself?
I just hope that when she goes before the parole board she is obese and hirsute.
Thats the justice system for you in this country. Fn Sad. The love of my life was murdered and his killer only got like 25 yrs! Fd up Not sexism, just plain Bullshit!
well, it has to do with lot of factors. one for example is if she learned her lesson, likely hood she's a re-offender "probably lower". usually guys is more likely to re-offend and "not learn their lesson" so they get longer sentence. remorse, their response to what they've done, etc.
She'll be out in 8 to 10 years and live happily ever after.
Lets hope and pray that in 15 years when she applies for parole, she is denied. What a joke.
Why? She's innocent. People don't just DO this for no reason, halfwit.

15 years for double homicide is one hell of a lenient sentence. Sure 15 to life but this is the American Justice system we're talking about they'll have her out as early as possible
This is when you raised your child wrong and they turned out to be a perfectionist then frustrated cold blooded killer.
She should have gotten life WITHOUT parole. I don't think she is sorry at all. Blessings to the families of those 2 young men. May they rest in peace.
From what others have said life with the chance of parole in the future
The problem is, that she was 17 and so underaged, when she had committed that crime. And defendents, who were

Typical female Judge, overly sympathetic. Female Judges NEVER throw the book at anyone, not even the people who deserve it.

You cannot sentence juveniles to LWOP. It’s unconstitutional.
@@arbow954once bound over if she messes up bad it could change but you’re right.
At least 25 years
Damn, only 15 years for the premeditated ending of two young lives? No wonder crime is skyrocketing in the states.
If she had been a man, she would have had a way worse sentence.
Judge had nothing to say in contempt of court for the dad at the end!? Wow just wow…
The immediate comment from one of her family members about her innocence is exactly why her sentence needed to be consecutive. As long as she buys into “her innocence” she will never truly be remorseful. Plus the judge said it was unlikely that she will be out in 15 years. Since men are often given harsher sentences only time will tell how much time she will spend. Heart goes out to the victim’s family.
It was murder. Aber should not get Out after 15 years
They still go easy on her thanks to the discrimination against men and boys in society. Remember that boy who was street racing and accidently killed a mother and child? He's getting 20 years and that wasn't premeditated like her murders were.
You're stupid, if you were the one put in that situation, and decided to make the mistake to drive 120mph, you would be called a monster or a killer. but in reality, everyone makes mistakes, this girl is innocent and did not deserve a 15 year sentence.
What a thoroughly disgusting poor excuse for a human being, as her father shouts "you're innocent" just goes to show what a horrible family they are, no remorse for the victim's or their families, she should have been given the death sentence.
It sounded to me like she got 15 - life for each victim, so that's 30 years
no concurrently(simultaneously) which means she will be eligible for parole after 15 years, after which they will decide if they can let her out. probably she'll be in for more than 15 years.
Concurrent sentences should be banned!
At first i was just mad at how awful the justice system usually is. Two men is worth 15 years of 1 girl.
BUT SHE KILLED THEM BOTH ON PURPOSE AND SHE GETS 15???????
A man would have gotten more.
@@OttoByOgraffey FACTS
If it was the other way around you would have never heard about it and the man would have gotten 2 life sentences. Even the title of the video is disgusting. Labeling the incident as a "crash". This is vehicular manslaughter.

After all that gum flapping by the judge, she only got 15 for two lives… that’s a slap in the face to those families
That’s right. At least it should have been consecutive to make 30 years. Judges coddle people.
Let alone Mackenzie, her father should be ashamed for saying "you're innocent." She killed two people. Those are the facts.
