Episode Description from the Publisher

Mackenzie Shirilla, the Ohio teenager convicted of intentionally driving her car into a brick wall in Strongsville and killing her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan, has filed multiple appeals. Despite her insistence of innocence in the new Netflix documentary "The Crash," courts have continuously shot down her defense team's arguments regarding missing deadlines and trial evidence. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber sits down with powerhouse criminal defense attorney Diane Menashe to break down Shirilla's legal strategy and whether she has any chance left at the Ohio Supreme Court.Petition: https://www.change.org/p/dom-s-law-victims-before-influencers-modernize-son-of-sam-laws?recruiter=17237716&recruited_by_id=5757cf30-e8a5-012f-1742-4040b91ba155&share_id=JDVQm5Tx5NGoFundMe: https://gofund.me/6a93623a2Purchase John Morgan's new book now on Amazon by going to www.forthepeople.com/lifeisluckHOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
