Mackenzie Shirilla has constantly been in the spotlight for the past few days, all thanks to Netflix’s latest true-crime documentary, The Crash. It tells the story of a then-17-year-old Mackenzie (now 21) who has been found guilty of dual murder. The victims of the murder were her 20-year-old boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their mutual friend, 19-year-old Davion Flanagan. As the documentary has been generating significant buzz and bringing renewed spotlight to the case, Dominic’s older sister has been criticising Mackenzie’s parents for creating “a monster.”
