The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of convicted murderer Mackenzie Shirilla, who was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for intentionally causing a traffic accident in 2022 that killed her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan. Shirilla, then 17, deliberately accelerated her Toyota Camry to 160 km/h before crashing into a brick wall, killing two teenagers. Her legal team had filed a request with the state’s highest court in July to reconsider her case, but the court ruled on August 23 that the appeal was submitted too late and that it lacked jurisdiction to justify the delay. Shirilla’s lawyers also argued that her trial violated her constitutional rights and that she did not receive adequate legal representation. The court’s decision marks the end of her desperate attempts to overturn her conviction.
