"I'm just one of those girls that can do a lot of drugs and not die."
Mackenzie Shirilla, the teen who was convicted of murder on Monday after she intentionally crashed her car going over 100 mph killing her boyfriend and his friend in July of 2022, posted a TikTok video bragging about "doing a lot of drugs" and not dying.
In the video posted by the Daily Mail, Shirilla is seen smiling at the camera flirtingly with the caption "I'm not even cool. I'm just one of those girls that can do a lot of drugs and not die."
According to the report, the 19-year-old was high on marijuana and had psychedelic mushrooms in the car at the time of the crash that killed 20-year-old Dominic Russo and 19-year-old Davion Flanagan. She was charged and convicted on four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, and two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide after she pushed the gas pedal of her car to the floor before hitting a building.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo told the court before reading the verdict Monday, "This was not reckless driving. This was murder."
She said that a video of the incident "clearly shows the purpose and intent of the defendant." she continued, "She chose a course of death and destruction that day.”
"She morphs from a responsible driver to literal hell on wheels as she makes her way down the street," Russo said. "Mackenzie alone made the decision to drive the car, to drive an obscure route, a route she visited a few days before, and a route not routinely taken by her. Mackenzie alone chose a time to make the drive, early in the morning, when any reasonable person would expect a few people would be nearby to witness it or offer life-saving assistance."
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley told 3News, "The intent was obvious upon seeing that video that there was only one goal and the computer demonstrated that there was no attempt to slow down or stop, that it was full speed into a building and tragically it cost two people their lives."
Sentencing is scheduled for August 21, and Shirilla faces up to life in prison with a 15-year minimum before she may be eligible for parole.
