Federal lawyers for Mackenzie Shirilla file a habeas petition in federal court seeking a new trial after the Ohio Supreme Court declines to review her convictions.Shirilla, who was 17 at the time of a 2022 crash that killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan, argues the case was wrongly transferred from juvenile to adult court, that trial counsel was ineffective and that key defense evidence was excluded.Her attorneys cite a possible steering-wheel interference by
Dominic Russo, a nervous-system disorder that can cause fainting, alleged alterations to coroner notes and a medical examiner who testified without performing autopsies, and they ask a judge to overturn or remand the 2023 convictions.
