Mackenzie Shirilla sentenced to15 years to life in prison for deadly Strongsville crash

Mackenzie Shirilla has been sentenced to 15-years-to-life in prison for the deadly 2022 crash that claimed the lives of 20-year-old Dominic Russo and 19-year-old Davion Flanagan.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo sentenced Shirilla to 15-years-to-life in prison for both murder charges she was found guilty of, with the two sentences to be served concurrently. She will also receive credit for time already served and have her driver's license permanently suspended.
The sentencing means that Shirilla will first be eligible for parole in 15 years.
Family members of both victims addressed the court at Monday's sentencing, as did Shirilla's mother. A sobbing Shirilla read a statement apologizing to the families involved.
"To the families of Dom and Davion, I am so deeply sorry," she said. "I hope one day you can see how I'd never let this happen or do it on purpose. I wish I could remember what happened. I'm just so sorry. I'm heartbroken. I loved Dom and Davion. We were all friends and Dom was my soulmate. I wish I could take all your pain away. I am so sorry. And to my family, thank for the support and all the love you guys give. Thank you for fighting with me. I love you all so much."

FACTS

[@staceytroffer8287]

People…..PAY ATTENTION - the judge said 15 YEARS TO LIFE (x2) which means……… the parole board must decide in 15+ years if she is redeemable as a human being and eligible for parole. The likelihood of that happening is VERY VERY LOW. Both deaths were premeditated. Because of that, the parole board is very unlikely to ever release her

[@Lord_zeel]

Do you know anything about prison? Any time in prison is a cruel punishment, prisons in the US are some of the most heinous and horrible places in the world. In 15 years this girl will be lucky if she's even still a person. Even if she gets out, the damage will be permeant, and that's just the psychological part. She will also never be able to hold down a good job as a felon, and she will never escape the fact that people know what she did. It really doesn't matter what the sentence is, her life is over. Some would say she "deserves" that, but that too is a backward way of thinking. What she needs, is help. Rehabilitation. She should be remade into a productive member of society, rather than be locked in a cage that society now has to pay for, and from which she will never recover.

There are predators at ORW but there's also those who will take her under their wings and look after her. She'll become part of a family. She's lucky that the Parole Board is actually paying people now a days so she has a chance at release but even the judge's comments are telling. She won't even go up until July '37 for her first hearing and with that Life tail, she'll get flopped at least five if not ten more years.

"An eye for an eye" is quite possibly one of the worst justice standards ever proposed. Just because it's in a really old book doesn't mean that it's a good idea.
