## Resource

Mackenzie Shirilla, the Ohio teenager convicted of intentionally driving her car into a brick wall in Strongsville and killing her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan, has filed multiple appeals. Despite her insistence of innocence in the new Netflix documentary "The Crash," courts have continuously shot down her defense team's arguments regarding missing deadlines and trial evidence. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber sits down with powerhouse criminal defense attorney Diane Menashe to break down Shirilla's legal strategy and whether she has any chance left at the Ohio Supreme Court.
