She's Got News: Mean Girl Who Murders: The McKenzie Shirilla Case

Hosts Elle and Camille discuss their anxieties about true crime, internet culture, and safety before breaking down three documentaries; Netflix’s The Crash, Hulu’s Killer Cases, and HBO Max/Hulu’s Mean Girls Murders—about the July 31, 2022 Strongsville, Ohio crash that killed Dominique Russo (20) and Davion Flanagan (19) and led to driver McKenzie Shirilla being investigated and convicted for intentional murder. They review key evidence cited in the shows, including surveillance, black-box data, phone data, prior relationship volatility, alleged jail calls urging a seizure/POTS narrative, and debate whether a jury vs. judge trial might have changed the outcome, noting some documentary framing issues, such as TikTok timestamps. They also discuss parenting, teen screen time risks referenced in a surgeon general's report, a TikTok account from an inmate describing Shirilla’s prison behavior, and a preview of the Alex Murdaugh trials next week.
