“This was not reckless driving. This was murder,” Judge Nancy Margaret Russo said before reading out Mackenzie Shirilla's verdict Monday afternoon.
An Ohio teenage girl was convicted of murder on Monday, accused of intentionally killing her boyfriend and his friend by crashing her car into a brick building going 100 mph last year.
Shirilla broke down in tears as Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo said,"This was not reckless driving. This was murder," at the verdict reading Monday. Two weeks before the crash, she allegedly threatened to crash her vehicle when she was driving with Russo, because she was upset over a disagreement they had. Russo called his mother and asked to be picked up and a friend ended up retrieving him. During a phone call with Russo, the friend allegedly overheard Shirilla say “I will crash this car right now,” prosecutors said in court documents.
“The [crash] video clearly shows the purpose and intent of the defendant. She chose a course of death and destruction that day,” Judge Russo said.
