Prison Regina George? What Killer Driver From The Crash Mackenzie Shirilla Was REALLY Like Behind Bars, Per Inmate!

Mackenzie Shirilla (pictured above, left) was nothing like the remorseful person she claimed to be in the new Netflix documentary The Crash while behind bars, according to one of her former fellow inmates!

For those who don’t know her story, a then-17-year-old Mackenzie was driving home from a party in the early morning hours on July 31, 2022, with her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, 20, and his friend, Davion Flanagan, 19. But 30 minutes into the drive, she accelerated the car up to 100 mph all of a sudden and slammed it into a brick wall in Strongsville, Ohio, killing the two men.

Investigators later discovered Mackenzie intentionally sped up the vehicle, not once pressing down on the brake when the crash happened. She was arrested and charged with four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, one count of drug possession, and one count of possessing criminal tools. And in 2023, Mackenize was convicted and sentenced to two concurrent terms of 15 years to life in prison.

She sat down to talk about what happened for the first time in The Crash, which dropped this month, insisting she has no memory of the tragedy. The convicted killer also speculated that her condition, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or better known as POTS, which she said makes her “black out,” caused the crash. Ultimately, she swears she never intended to kill Dominic and Davion:

“I just wanna make sure that I’m big on the ‘no intent.’ There was no intent whatsoever there. I have excessive amounts of remorse for Dominic, for Davion, both of their families. This was not intentional, and I will do everything I can to prove that to the world and the families.”

Despite expressing remorse for their deaths, a former inmate who served time with Mackenzie at the Ohio Reformatory for Women claims she showed none while in prison! In fact, she allegedly wanted to “be like” Regina George from Mean Girls!

In an interview with NewsNation on Wednesday, Mary Katherine “Kat” Crowder (pictured above, center inset) said she had “limited” conversations with Mackenzie while they were behind bars together for 6 months. However, she made a big impression on her — not a good one:

“When Mackenzie first walked out in the documentary, my jaw dropped because that was not the person that I saw in prison when I was with her. She walked around in a very light demeanor. It was never this dark, smug, tough girl act that was in this video trying to portray some sort of remorse. … from my observations, there was never any, you know, behaviors that looked like somebody who was remorseful.”

Kat even compared her to the queen bee of Mean Girls:

“I do say that she wanted to be like Regina George. I mean, just the way that she did her makeup, the way that she, I mean, it was like she was going out to a club or something.”

That is strange! Speaking to The New York Post, she shared another interesting detail about Mackenzie’s prison life. You know how we mentioned she was diagnosed with POTS, and she believes that caused the crash? Well, Kat doesn’t buy that she has a medical condition! She said:

“Never one time did I ever see Mackenzie Shirilla go for a blood pressure check, take any type of medication or go to sick call, ever experience dizziness. In fact, Mackenzie Shirilla would go out in 100-degree heatwaves with baby oil on her and sit in the prison yard and tan … the girl does not have any medical issues.”
