‘Hell on wheels’ killer Mackenzie Shirilla callously whined she was ‘third victim’ of fatal car wreck she intentionally caused in jailhouse call
“Hell on Wheels” killer Mackenzie Shirilla incredulously whined she was the “third victim” of a fatal wreck in which she intentionally crashed her car and killed her boyfriend and friend during a jailhouse call, according to a report.
Shirilla, now 21, made the comments to her mother from Cuyahoga County Corrections Center in Ohio while questioning her lawyer’s choice not to let her testify in her own defense at her murder trial, according to audio of the call obtained by People.
“I was asking him if I could just testify to show them that like, I have nothing to hide, and he was like, ‘I don’t know if that’s a good idea at this point,’” she told her mother after her bench trial, according to the outlet.
“If they see the truth, then they’ll know that this was nothing but a car accident. They’ll just see that there’s a third victim, and it’s me, and I lost the love of my life and a good friend, and now I have to deal with this grief the rest of my life,” Shirilla added.
The Netflix-featured killer added she had to “deal with like, being scared to drive and stuff like that.”
She also expressed concerns that her bench trial may not have gone well, and accused prosecutors of having “henchmen go and lie on the stand.”
Shirilla, who was being held on a $500,000 bond, said she had slept for 19 hours the previous day and begged her mother to pay the large sum.
“Can you just pay my bond and get me out of here, please? Like, go to a bail bondsman and see if they can pay the 10%,” she asked her mother, acknowledging her bond could be revoked once there was a judgment on her case.
“I’m getting very irritated, like, and I need to get the f–k out of jail because they’re just trying to f–k me over bad as f–k,” the petulant teen said in an expletive-laced tirade.
Just days later, she was convicted of four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, and one count each of drug possession and possessing criminal tools, the outlet reported.
The charges stem from a fatal wreck where Shirilla, who was 17 at the time, intentionally slammed her car into a wall in a Cleveland suburb, killing her 20-year-old boyfriend Dominic Russo and 19-year-old friend Davion Flanagan, online court records show.
She and the two victims were driving around and getting high when she suddenly gunned the engine and smashed the car into a warehouse in Strongsville at 100 mph, killing both passengers.
Shirilla miraculously survived and was found unconscious with her Prada slippers still on the accelerator.
The Netflix documentary “The Crash,” which highlights the case, has risen to No. 1 on the streaming service platform since it was released Friday.
Shirilla appears in the documentary from behind bars — where she expresses remorse for the fatal crash and insists she’s “not a monster.”
However, Mary Katherine Crowder, who served time with Shirilla at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, told The Post that Shirilla is nothing like the remorseful, hardened prison inmate depicted in the hit Netflix doc.
She is serving two concurrent sentences of 15 to life, and has unsuccessfully tried to appeal her case three times.
