Huge records release in Mackenzie Shirilla case offers new details of life before and after conviction, as defense seeks Ohio Supreme Court review
- On April 27, 2026, attorneys for Mackenzie Shirilla filed an appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing "there is medical evidence" that a pre-existing condition caused her to black out while driving.
- The July 31, 2022, crash in Strongsville, Ohio, killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan when Shirilla drove her Toyota Camry at nearly 100 mph into a brick building.
- Evidence from the car's event data recorder showed the accelerator pressed to the floor with no braking in the five seconds before impact, prompting prosecutors to argue during trial she intentionally drove into the wall.
- Public interest surged following the May 15 release of the Netflix documentary "The Crash," in which Shirilla said, "I'm unsure because I have no recollection of that morning."
- The Ohio Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether to hear the case, which previously faced procedural delays after an earlier filing was rejected for being one day late.
