Ohio teen sentenced to life in prison for intentionally crashing car at 100 mph, killing boyfriend and friend

  • Ohio teenager Mackenzie Shirilla was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for crashing her car into a building at 100 mph, killing her boyfriend and his friend.
  • Prosecutors argued Shirilla deliberately crashed to end her toxic relationship with her boyfriend, citing incidents of threatening behavior before the crash.
  • Shirilla apologized at sentencing but denied intentionally causing the crash, though she couldn't remember what happened.
  • The judge called Shirilla's actions "hell on wheels" but gave her concurrent sentences, meaning she's eligible for parole in 15 years.
  • Shirilla continued posting on social media after the crash and sought a modeling job, leading prosecutors to criticize her lack of remorse.
