Mackenzie Shirilla is serving 15 years to life at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, convicted on 12 counts, including murder and aggravated vehicular homicide.  Police say Shirilla deliberately crashing her car into a brick building at 100 mph. Two passengers were killed, Shirilla's boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan. Data from the car's black box showed Shirilla floored the gas pedal and never used the brakes, making calculated steering and gear adjustments before impact.  She was 17 at the time. 

The Ohio Supreme Court has declined to review Mackenzie Shirilla’s post-conviction appeals, ruling the petition was filed late and the trial court lacked jurisdiction to excuse the delay. Shirilla’s lawyers, in court documents, said they requested the review due to a calendar mistake. They filed the appeal one day past the deadline.

Jailhouse recordings and prison records reveal demands the double killer is making behind bars  Recordings from her time at the Ohio Reformatory for Women exposed her begging for perks like an iPad, complaining about being bored, and scheming with her mother.  A prison document details 23 complaints and 36 violations against her, including flashing her breasts to visitors, possessing contraband like paints and monopoly money, and refusing job assignments.  

Shirilla will not be eligible for her first parole hearing until October 2037.

Alex Murdaugh's second murder trial in the deaths of his wife and son is now scheduled for April of 2027.  His 2023 convictions were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court which ruled  former Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca “Becky” Hill improperly influenced the jury.  Murdaugh remains incarcerated  for 22 state financial crimes and 14 federal charges serving both sentences concurrently, unaffected by the murder retrial.  

 A status hearing is set for August for Judge Debra McCaslin  to decide pending motions on a change of venue and allowing independent DNA testing of samples from under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails, among others.
