I was a teenager once. And I promise you I had remorse. I had empathy. I was depressed when my cat died. She could care less.

[@meganbessenbacher7107]

@stephaniediego4068 She is and was devastated by this tragedy. Proof of this can be found in police interviews where Christine Russo and the investigators (who are friends) where christine says shes always at the crash site and the graves, that she said it should have been her. Also by her text messages which are public record. And even letters submitted to the court that were denied by the judge from the adults in charge of her at the juvenile where she was held for 7 months that said she was remorseful, cried often, had photos in memory of them and quite a few other things (also part of public records)

[@stephaniediego4068]

@ okay… I’m glad. She’s not completely heartless.

[@meganbessenbacher7107]

@stephaniediego4068 she is innocent, this was a tragic accident most likely caused by sudden unintended acceleration, if you watch the video ad the go around the curve the car jerks multiple times and that is when it starts. This is such a common problem in toyotas they call it "runaway toyota" it has been the proven death of hundreds of people, there are even 911 calls from drivers stuck on 100 with children in the car screaming for help but no help comes! Toyota still settles claims regularly! The only way to prove this would have been with the cars CPU which the investigation made sure they didn't collect! They knew about the SUA it was brought up in a recording by an investigator, why was there only one Forensic exam of the car done? Why are the drawings by the first responder of the scene different each time they are drawn?

[@dreamweaver2u]

The fact that she threatened to do what she did before tells me this was premeditated. She intentionally murdered those boys! After she acted like she couldn't care less. She should never get out.

[@meganbessenbacher7107]

@dreamweaver2u This is untrue and text messages prove it was Dom who grabbed the wheel, MacKenzie pulled over and called his mom, there were also texts. This is where some really nasty corruption happens and it's all recorded In a police interview with Christine Russo (Doms mom) where they discuss the need to a witness to back up this version And Ms. Russo inserts "Christopher "hench" Martin who changes the whole narrative to fit the story.

This girl was & is sick in the head. There’s WAY too much evidence against her…& more evidence was released recently of her threatening him on video. And, the interrogations of Dom’s friends & HER ex-bf were extremely telling. All fingers pointed to her. Why would anyone even insinuate such a horrific thing if this girl had no true bad intentions? That wouldn’t have ever crossed their minds. She wanted to end it all & have him go with her…but in some twisted fate, she’s the only one who made it out. She showed no remorse, because she’s guilty. It’s horrible & she’s right where she belongs.

[@annb8296]

I don't agree with the guest who kept making excuses that she was just a teenager. Teenagers can be narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths. The judge ruled that the defendant's actions were “controlled, methodical, deliberate, intentional, and purposeful” and that Mackenzie meant to kill the young men and showed a shocking lack of remorse, pre-drove the route, didn't touch the brakes and tried to dissuade the friend knowing she was going to crash. Mackenzie and her mother behaved horribly post murder with zero remorse. Also, she was signing up for modeling auditions right afterwards and was on social media partying weeks post crash.

[@Nurse_Kathy]

How on earth did she survive that horrific crash? That was NO accident, Mom! 😡 Also, just because she’s eligible for parole, doesn’t mean she’s going to receive it. Hopefully she won’t.

@@Face30001. I realize I am a very “mature” adult however I don’t think it is appropriate for her parents to endorse her living with a guy at 17. I’m far from uptight. I raised 2 children who are now adults. I bought my son “raincoats” when he was an early teen and talked to him about it. My daughter actually talked to me when she decided to have full sex. I was far from a perfect parent. I think there are limits particularly given her prefrontal cortex wasn’t developed and she had an impulsivity issue. As a parent, I would not allow my daughter, under 18, to live with a guy. At that age she was still my minor child and I wouldn’t have felt it appropriate and I wouldn’t have allowed it. 🤷‍♀️.

I cannot believe how people are attacking her.

@ probably because she had a lawyer who does it for the paycheck and doesn’t care what happeneds to his clients after he walks out of the courtroom . Teenagers girls say a lot of crazy things especially when arguing with a boyfriend . In the interviews with the friends seems like the three in the car weren’t arguing or drinking just watching a movie and fell asleep at a friends house then woke and drove home . I may seem rediculous to people but I don’t think this girl was treated like she should have been and the media vilified her for ratings . 😳😬🕊🌱🕊

[@josephmarzullo]

So I guess she wanted to break up 😂

[@ReallyReall]

Hopefully this is the last comment I leave ever on this channel I don’t know if people also know that she didn’t have drugs and alcohol in our system and the interviews that we’re done with her friends say that her and her boyfriend were in a good place and they were getting along just fine before the accident and that they don’t think it was intentional, but maybe people just listened to little tidbits of these interviews and they didn’t watch the whole interview so they don’t know the totality of the interviews I think the parents of the victims should be ashamed of themselves personally for the way that they handled this.

[@jasonpauljones7295]

So are we assuming she meant to kill herself as well? I mean how she managed to walk away from that crash is incredible and she is obviously very upset but I'm not sure if that's because she caused the death of two kids or if she feels like she failed at her mission.

[@BeABetterPersonToday]

Something new?

[@suzannelindsay2247]

I think her whole life she has gotten what she wanted when she wanted it from adults who she could manipulate. Probably wasn't getting the response from the boyfriend that she wanted. If drugs were involved, it would have only made the situation worse. Two young guys dead because SHE decided it was time for them to die. Fifteen years is NOT JUSTICE. The families have life sentences.

[@ReallyReall]

It’s like people have forgotten who children are and how innocent they are and how they process things. She is a 17-year-old child at that time that two of her friends died in a car that she was driving and she lived imagine if that was you when you were 17 I mean people need to get control of their freaking brains. There’s no reason that a 17-year-old girl should be in prison for longer than a freaking till she’s 18 or something this is so sad on so many different levels for everybody involved and people just seem to look at her like she’s just some heartless whatever because she’s pretty is that why is it illegal to be pretty? Is it illegal to be emotional 17 year-old girl that says she’s gonna crash her car and then it just accidentally it happens and now she’s a murderer like come on people where the adults we need to use our brainscome on now
