Mackenzie Shirilla Loses Ohio Supreme Court Appeal After One-Day Filing Error

The Ohio Supreme Court denies Mackenzie Shirilla’s post-conviction petition after her appellate lawyer filed one day late, and her legal team asks for reconsideration.Shirilla, convicted after a bench trial for the crash that killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan, says she lost consciousness before the impact and that trial counsel failed to investigate a medical condition.Prosecutors say physical evidence and toxicology show the crash was intentional; court records note speed near 100 mph, unbuckled passengers and a positive marijuana test.Shirilla is serving two concurrent 15-years-to-life sentences at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, has accumulated multiple infractions in prison and will be eligible for parole in 2037.
