Episode 526: Mackenzie's Mom Calls Police For 'Mean Post' on Social Media- "There Are 2 Girls Bullying Mackenzie"
Mackenzie Shirilla was found guilty of murder, felonious assault, and aggravated vehicular homicide after she murdered her former boyfriend Dominic Russo and his roommate at the time, Davion Flanagan. She deliberately ended the young men’s lives by driving her car into a brick wall at 100 miles per hour.
Boom.
That’s the graphic t-shirt that Mackenzie’s father decided to wear for his Netflix documentary debut.
“I’m a buff baby who can dance like a man, I can shake'a my fanny, I can shake'a my can, I'm a tough tootin' baby—“
That’s the ringtone to Steve Shirilla’s phone that goes off mid-interview.
“This wasn't a volatile relationship. They were never going to break up.”
And that’s Steve’s line he tells an interviewer when asked about his daughter’s relationship with one of the young men she killed.
We personally read tens of thousands of pages of text messages between the two that suggest the complete opposite. This is Mackenzie Shirilla’s double homicide case continued.
