Mackenzie Shirilla has attracted a large following after her high-profile case was featured on the streaming platform Netflix.
She is the focus of a new documentary called “The Crash,” which delves into the tragic incident where she crashed her car into a brick wall at 100mph in July 2022. The crash resulted in the deaths of passengers Dominic Russo, 20, and Davion Flanagan, 19, while Mackenzie, who was 17 at the time, sustained serious injuries.
Initially believed to be an accident, the case took a dark turn when prosecutors alleged during a 2023 trial that Mackenzie deliberately caused the crash. She was subsequently found guilty on all charges and sentenced to two 15-to-life terms with the chance of parole.
The documentary has brought Mackenzie attention, reflected in the growth of her Instagram following. Her account, created in 2013, now boasts 45,000 followers, a significant increase from just a few thousand before the documentary premiered.
Despite her conviction, Mackenzie continues to maintain her innocence on social media, thanking supporters for believing in her innocence. She vows to keep fighting for her innocence through legal means and appreciates the ongoing support she receives.
For those interested in diving deeper into the case, the crime series “Mean Girl Murders” features an episode centered on Mackenzie.
“The Crash” is currently available for streaming on Netflix, offering viewers a closer look at the events surrounding Mackenzie’s case.
