Teen Gets Prison Sentence for Murdering Boyfriend, Friend in Car Crash

Ahead of learning her sentence, Shirilla, who did not testify during the bench trial, expressed remorse while addressing the court.

“The families of Dominic and Davion, I’m so deeply sorry,” she said, according to NBC News, “I hope one day you can see I would never let this happen or do it on purpose. I wish I could remember what happened.”

The outlet also reported that for their part, when speaking to the court, members of the victims’ families asked the judge to bestow the harshest sentence.  

“Mackenzie, going to prison because you did this, be thankful you’re still alive and have a future, whatever that may be,” Dominic’s mother, Christine Russo, said. “Dom and Davion were robbed of their futures, their hopes and their dreams. Mackenzie showed no mercy on Dominic nor did she on Davion, only God at this time can have mercy on her soul.

Flanagan’s sister, Davyne Flanagan, added, “I feel stuck, I feel like I can’t move forward. I feel lost. I would like you to give Mackenzie the longest possible sentence. I’ve known her for about three years and she’s always taking the easy way out.”
