The hair touches, looking at her own feed on the zoom call, the way she adjusts her posture, popping her chin up, smirking, arching her shoulders back, followed by a light swing from side to side, and even the way she is blinking while wearing the blue shirt are all physical indications that she is essentially peacocking for attention. This was mingled apparent boredom with her head resting on her fists and a vacant expression void of any serious emotion. My opinion is that she thought she was getting off, and this was an easy opportunity for clout. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was mentally preparing for her career as an influencer of some sort throughout the trial. She has a constant expression that suggests that she was giving the court the faintest bit of her attention, while her mind was on her own appearance and image throughout the trial.

[@myfriendjosie]

I just read a post from a girl who knew her from school. She said this girl was a big narcissist. She said she was the ultimate mean girl. She also said she made a social media account just to make fun of a lunch lady at school she said she was vicious. She also said she ran for home coming queen and lost and she blamed the student body for not appreciating he uniqueness and said she is still the queen she always was regardless. The girl said she did lots of drugs too and she knew she was gonna end up in trouble for that or her reckless behavior but she never thought it would be murder. As a woman who has had to escape a venerable narcissistic relationship, I can tell you they will and do kill people. Especially if they think you are gonna leave them. It is a control thing. If they feel they are losing control they will do what ever it takes to feel in control again. That often includes killing you and they will do it for something as small as not wanting to get caught in a lie. Often times your first clue you may be in danger is threatening to kill themselves. No narc is gonna take themselves out and leave you to go on with your happy life without them. If they do take themselves out you can bet they are gonna take you out first and all to often they take you out, feel that sense of control coming back and no longer desire to unalive themselves. They also tend to get away with it placing the blame on the victim and playing the victim themselves. People just believe them. I think all her behavior before the verdict was her doing what she knows how to do to get out of trouble. Playing coy, pretty and innocent looking. That video in court when she was wearing blue and was shaking her shoulders with the slight smirk. That was her flirting trying to look pretty and innocent. She is not old enough to be a highly skilled narc like my ex. But she will be. She is gonna adapt easily and learn new skills in prison and I bet she will get a reduced sentence or a mistrial or something on appeal and she will be out before we know it.

It doesn't matter to these types that much that it's not a man ;even though they may be straight it is the attention that drives them and if there are only women available then they will obtain that attention from whichever source is available.

[@maryannanderson2213]

She strikes me as a young woman who has gotten away with so many things in the past that she honestly thinks she will get away with this also and that's why she's so calm. To her, it's no big deal. I say that because of how surprised she was when she was found guilty and when she heard her sentence. I think she genuinely thought maybe a year or two in Juvie and she'd be out and about again and when she heard the actual sentence she was absolutely amazed.

[@DAmore143]

Her mother seemed even more surprised in the background! The father looked like he could care less one way or the other most likely glad that she will no longer bully him !

[@commonsense2680]

Yeah, I guess since she was 17 she expected to be out when she turned 18 and possibly her own attorneys told her as a juvie they will take it easy on her. When you are 17 you are a grown up just as much as an 18 year old and should PAY for your crimes like any other adult. She deserves life in jail without possibility of parole for her inexcusable murder of two human beings. There is NO excuse even if her boyfriend was volatile and fought with her often, she had other means of addressing the issues without resorting to murder and without killing the innocent "friend" also in the car.

Justine Winter slammed into another vehicle when she crossed over into oncoming traffic killing a 4 month pregnant woman and her 13 year old son. She was convicted for double homicide.

That brick wall is a perfect symbol for the hard reality she's clearly never faced in her life until now. That explains her shocked reaction at her guilty verdict - she hit another brick wall there. I have no doubt that when she decided to crash into the first brick wall, she didn't think she'd be killed, only her passengers. And she was right, once again proving to herself that she deserved to be excused from all consequences of her actions - a belief no doubt introduced to her by her permissive parents in early childhood, then reinforced by many others who she chose for their permissiveness and/or who responded to her apathy with their own apathy. But she didn't really survive that first crash, because it led directly to a second crash that put her in a grave called the correctional system, a place as cold as death and as hard as a brick wall.

I'm saying anyone who'd do something like that and expect no consequences (which she apparently didn't) must be as naive as a small child. *That* kind of innocence. Since I'm reading a book on the Titanic right now, I can't help comparing that brick wall to the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. It was, in fact, not the iceberg out on the ocean, but the iceberg of complacency inside of so many people behind the tragedy - the Captain, the designer (who also drowned that night), the shipbuilders, the first class passengers...everyone who was frozen in their certainty that nothing could sink the Titanic - not even the ocean itself. And so it went with little miss brick-brain. And like with the Titanic, we shouldn't leave out a whole aspect of our society that is heading for a collective brick wall with so many of us acting like righteous victims these days. I include myself in that, although I'm aware of it and I keep it on a tight leash. What's so dangerous and scary is the number of people nowadays who don't seem to have a leash at all.

True. That's why children shouldn't be charged or penalized as adults.

Hypocrisy. The parents of the child introuble should be held responsible for their behavior, not the children. Then maybe parents would BE more responsible for them and do right by them knowing thee're consecquences. At the first sighn of trouble, there should be some intervention, some parent counseling.

Thanks to alex: I am thinking contrarian too; Obviously guilty of murder, but not at the level she's accused of.....I would say vehicular manslaughter; I find it speculative that his equation to love bound to death (R. Wagner's theme in Tristan Und Isolde) is just that...speculation. The computer read showed that before impact, the wheels veered suddenly right and then left...to me (as the defense stated) that could indicate a drug induced joyride that went out of control. I can't believe it's deliberate since, if so, she'd be killing herself, too; and I find that implausible. I feel for this kid as well as for the other victims, and I'll tell you why....when I was that same age I got drunk one night and drove home.....only by the grace of God I wasn't stopped by the police, and didn't injure anyone. I didn't plan to get drunk.....it worked out that way (youthful peer pressure of a normally ordinary kid.) So I am feeling how painful it must be for her to have to face this...call it "empathy identification" perhaps. Anyway, Dr. G. is much more approachable than the other forensic psychologist on You Tube who also reviewed this case....that guy seemed like a soul less robot who himself had suppressed anger for this girl for the act, based on his own affect and speech expressions and patterns. I got the impression that deep down the other forensic psychologist guy was too viscerally pleased by the guilty verdict, under his veneer of automation......he could be a good example of A.I.

I have viewed 5 videos recently all involving young women between 17 and 22 who have gotten drunk or stoned and been involved in major car accidents. In one case a young woman who looked a lot lke Mackenzie drove extremely drunk, hit two pedestrians out walking their dog, police eventually caught up to her, she said she had no idea she had hit two people let alone killed them. She blew it off like "oh well it was an accident." Her question to police was well -"" can I go back to my college classes"" the next day. At the police station she asked again when could she get her car and go back to school. There was absolutely no remorse or concern about the deceased. She seemed more interested in flirting with cops then bring truly concerned about what she had done. Four other incidents had young women highly intoxicated, very beligerent, abusive towards LE, two of them bitting, spitting, kicking. Another claimed her uncle was high up in police and they would regret putting her in jail. Every one of them had a bratty entitled attitude, most were driving high end cars, not one showed real remorse. I think the TikTok generation is soulless, narcissistic, and only interested in geting attention and being famous - killing someone while driving appears the least of their worries.

I'm over 70 now, but I have a clear memory of being 16 and driving like a maniac after some kind of rejection from a "potential" girlfriend. I ended up wrecking my dad's car and spending the night in jail. I was lucky - I was alone in the car and nobody was hurt. What I remember most vividly is the mad swirl of emotions and thoughts in my head. In retrospect, I was totally out of control and not-sane at the time. There was no way I was thinking about consequences of any sort - I was thinking AT MOST one second ahead. Having (much later) become the father of two boys, I have seen that teenage brains are often unable to process causality or consequence in any rational way, especially when drugs or alcohol or hormones may be in play. We did our best to instill values into our children and to encourage them to think about their actions ahead of time, but it is often more good luck than good parenting that permits our children to become decent adults. Our family is lucky - our boys turned out fine. I'm not saying that she didn't plan to kill her boyfriend, nor am I saying that the verdict or sentence was incorrect or unfair. I wasn't at the trial, and didn't see the evidence. What I AM saying is that young brains often make really stupid decisions, and at the very least she and her family deserve our pity as much as the victims' families do.

I totally agree. At that age I thought I couldn't live without my boyfriend. I felt so hurt and rejected when he left me. I impulsively made attempts to win him back, but thank God, nothing destructive. Two decades later I met up with him - just as old friends - and couldn't imagine what I had seen in him as a teenager. In addition, he turned out to be gay which was why he "rejected" me back then. I had to laugh at myself thinking back to how madly in love I was with him years earlier. 😂 The problem is that narcissistic young people have tunnel vision and can't imagine that things will look differently in hindsight years later.

Eu não sou da área de psicologia, porém gosto muito desse tipo de conteúdo, e fico feliz por ter observado pontos que o especialista observou. No início do processo, Mackenzie demonstrou se sentir confortável, ou pelo menos mostrar calma, até porque ela é considerada temperamental. Ela arrumava o cabelo, bastante preocupada com a aparência jovial. Houve momentos em que demonstrou um leve sorriso, o que certamente deixa qualquer um assustado diante de um comportamento tão frio. Junto ao ar de sorriso, os braços pareciam estar para trás. Apesar de ar confiante, será que no fundo batia um certo medo? Braços para trás podem indicar medo, nervosismo. Antes da sentença, Mackenzie parecia estar atuando, tentando mostrar ser uma jovem bem controlada, por vezes os lábios demonstravam tristeza, mas os olhos não passavam nenhuma emoção. Era como se ela quisesse tentar comover pessoas com suas expressões faciais, principalmente quando ela olhou para baixo com os lábios tristes e depois olhou pra cima, sempre preocupada em transmitir uma emoção para comover as pessoas. O único momento em que ela demonstrou tristeza genuína foi quando recebeu a sentença. Ela colocou a mão na boca de forma espontânea por surpresa, por choque. Obviamente não devia estar levando o processo tão a sério, principalmente por estar acostumada a ter tudo o que sempre quis. Nitidamente ela é sínica e bastante mimada. Existem pessoas que só acreditam quando acontece. A tristeza, gente, não foi pela vida das vítimas, mas sim pela própria vida dela que a mesma estragou. Espero que a mãe dela passe a entender que ela ajudou a criar "um monstro" e que exerceu influência direta no comportamento da filha e em seu destino atrás das grades. Talvez se ela não tivesse mimado tanto e lhe ensinasse limites, isso não teria acontecido.

I agree that this is a very tragic case! I’m not sure if we’ll ever know what was going on in her 17 year old brain at the time that this happened, but I think it’s fair to assume that Mackenzie was unwell. Most people have a more rational thought process, which would prevent them from going to this extreme measure, regardless of the situation. However, I do think that part of it could have been just simple immaturity. We know that she did it because of problems with her boyfriend. And at that age, thinking of losing your first love could easily feel like you’re dying. Or an end all scenario. Most teens get through these years, as heartbreak is inevitable, but then there are always these rare cases you see where someone just snaps.

In short: in the smirk clip Mackenzie’s posture reminded me of a high school student just before the exam results are announced. (I actually feel tension building up in my own shoulders when looking for too long at her looking aside at 4:02) Other than that: great analysis.

I know this was video was awhile ago but with the ID "mean girl murders" episodes I lot makes sense. Other girls in her class describe her as someone who was a mean girl, always seemed to get what she wanted. She would bully & treat those she didn't like or who 'crossed her' badly. It would appear that her parents let her get away with all this behaviour, almost seems like she had no consequences for her actions. If her parents had their way she would have had no consequences (in particular legal) for this action too. Her parents statements to the court strike me as people who have let her get away with all her behaviour and could never see her as someone who does anything wrong. Ultimately, I think this lack of boundaries and consequences played a part in how she ended up where she is now. FYI I'm not saying it is totally the parents fault, people are often a product of their environment. I had parents who didnt place large "consequences/rules' when I was a teenager but then I always knew if I did some of the behaviour she did I would get into trouble, I just never did.

[@bigmotoxer]

👇 something else you guys aren't realizing= she fully expected to live, do not think she was committing suicide / murder. Because on the last turn before the straight away, in the court proceedings, it was shown that the vehicle's PCM recorded the driver seat belt was fastened at or near the last turn before the straight away. This was crazy person murder and she will be released in 5 years back out on the streets possibly living next door as your neighbor.

Like my ex's family. He could have done the things he lied about right in front of them and they'd still believe his lies about it.

[@craftylady8430]

She did not want Devian in the car. Dom was the one who got her to allow him to ride with them. I think she knew she was going to do this before they ever left the party. Maybe that’s why she didn’t want the friend to ride with them. Then when he did she decided to go ahead with her plan. So sad!!

[@jamielauro2623]

You did a great analysis once again!!! I don’t think she cared that much almost annoyed she had to be there in the first place….By the end of trial she realized how much trouble she was in.

[@debbieblair3329]

Thank you Dr. G

[@rumham7466]

Oh wow I haven’t heard this story. 😮

[@Cyco666]

I need to correct you Dr G, this was the verdict and the sentencing is set for the 21st August. I looked forward to part 2.

[@drgexplains]

Good catch! I had read the penalty comes with an automatic life sentence but failed to account for the actual sentencing in two days. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@tabby73]

Hope we get footage of it!

[@AmyLou402]

@@drgexplains It will stream live on NBC Channel 3 News Cleveland. It’s automatic life possibility parole in 15 yrs. No way she’ll parole on 15 tho, imo.

Great analysis. I'm an avid poker player & just so happened to be interested in the Mackenzie case. Now you have another admirer & follower 🙌 Thank you & i hope you do lots of body language vids, they're not only enjoyable to watch, they help us with our people reading skills (and hence poker).

[@drgexplains]

Maybe I'll do a video on poker and body language!

[@shanab.7881]

She just got a concurrent sentence of 15yrs to life w/ timed served. That’s ridiculous. The judge went in on her during the trial then gave her the most lenient sentence possible after she took two lives and didn’t seem to care until it affected her. Just goes to show that our justice system is a complete joke. I can’t imagine how horrible the families of the victims felt hearing that light sentence.

Another awesome video. I would like to know more about personality disorders and what’s the difference between BPD, narcism, antisocial, and psychopaths

[@drgexplains]

Understanding personality disorders is complex! Even some psychologists struggle to grasp some of the nuances. I should do a video comparing those diagnoses by example to help illustrate. Thanks!

[@loridavis9904]

@@drgexplains thank you so much that would be awesome

[@markyork1]

Second this

[@peabody3000]

there are tons of good videos about all that here on youtube. i hope lots more people learn about that because people with those disorders are everywhere, they cause the large majority of life's problems from what i have seen, and yet still, very few people know how to identify or stand up to them

[@SarahDavies-om3sk]

Hi Dr G, I wondered if you would consider doing analysis on the nurse Lucy Letby in the UK? She was just convicted of killing babies and harming a lot more too, and pleaded not guilty. Thanks 😊

[@terrygivens132]

“Mackenzie alone” is probably the most serious thing she is ever been told that she, she alone is responsible.

[@Slc-k7d]

She received a level of comfort from the judge. When the judge said you don’t have to get up sweet heart. She most likely felt safe.

[@elizabethmiller3384]

I think that she blamed her actions on the fight with her boyfriend and believed that that justified her behavior. It seems that she never considered her own accountability, never considered that the passengers were her responsibility. She’s a spoiled, immature child with no awareness of herself as anything other than the center of all universes. She was not even capable of putting herself in the parent’s shoes or of understanding that she was totally at fault and that there are people who will hold her accountable.

[@gwenns.7261]

She's about to learn!

[@brendasmart553]

some tough prison lessons are about to begin.

[@Katerine459]

Just from the very little I know about this case (first heard of her less than an hour ago), I'm still trying to wrap my head around one question: how is she even alive?? I just read that she was hospitalized afterwards, but seriously... just looking at this pragmatically, the fact that she's even alive seems to be due to nothing more than sheer dumb luck on her part (and it's really sad that the luck wasn't shared with the victims). So... I guess that's why I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around her behavior. It doesn't at all fit what I would expect to see after an attempted suicide, let alone a murder-suicide.

[@brendasmart553]

She had expressed essentially being invincable to friends, couldn't die from drugs etc, dumb luck she gets to face herself now.

[@Mandola-Jane]

In the beginning she looked like she had been called to the principle’s office. Again. Looks like someone got through to her, over the course of time, to drive home what outcome she can expect. I imagine, she possibly did not 100% believe it, as there was never any relatable consequence from any shenanigans before. I wonder what kind of kid she was.

[@ginafarley6190]

Well said

I find behavioural sciences and the psychology of reasoning absolutely fascinating. Really enjoying the content, thx for posting...👏👍

[@DeniseBranch-n1r]

She just didn't let the friend who asked for a ride stand in the way of her plan. She actually was seen on that road a few times before she went through w her plan. ABSOLUTELY PRE-MEDITATED

[@palestar828]

Playing with your hair is actually a adaptive behavior and it could mean that you are trying to release stress because you're about to lie...(I watch too many crime/police interigations ) but I see a lot of these types of adaptive movements in her behavior that I was surprised that you didn't talk about
