- 1:29Speaker 4: I know, but how am I going to make this
- 1:31Speaker 4: one book stretch? You may have to read it a
- 1:34Speaker 4: couple of times.
- 1:35Speaker 5: I'm not reading the same.

- 1:39Speaker 4: I don't know, Kezzy, I don't know. This is just

- 1:54Speaker 1: Here's some a welcome basket at the Big Dollhouse the
- 2:02Speaker 1: women see. I need to hear that again. Did she
- 2:05Speaker 1: actually say she deserved a welcome basket? You please play
- 2:10Speaker 1: that again?
- 2:13Speaker 4: I know, but how am I going to make this
- 2:16Speaker 4: one book stretch? You may have to read it a
- 2:19Speaker 4: couple of times.
- 2:19Speaker 6: I'm not reading the same book over and over and
- 2:21Speaker 6: over and over again.
- 2:23Speaker 4: I don't know, Kezzy, I don't know. This is just
- 2:26Speaker 4: this super super sucks.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I I guess I.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Mean they should have like when you come, they should
- 2:31Speaker 4: be able to give you like a like a welcome
- 2:34Speaker 4: not a welcome thing, but like you're new. It's going
- 2:37Speaker 4: to take a week to get your commissary. Here's some.
- 2:41Speaker 1: What does she think this is? Doctor Bethany Marshall, The Mandarin,
- 2:47Speaker 1: The Four Seasons, the Ritz Carlton. What does she want?
- 2:50Speaker 1: A spa package which he checks into the c I
- 2:53Speaker 1: Correctional Institute for killing two young, very young men. What
- 3:00Speaker 1: she's whining about having to read the same book.
- 3:04Speaker 8: I think she needs a glass of champagne to go
- 3:06Speaker 8: along with her snack basket, and maybe some movies to
- 3:11Speaker 8: watch while she's at it. You know, Nancy, this fits
- 3:14Speaker 8: the profile of sociopathy or what we call cluster B personality.
- 3:18Speaker 8: Cluster B is when you have narcissism, sociopathy, and borderline
- 3:23Speaker 8: altogether in one person. And this is the kind of
- 3:26Speaker 8: person who would get dysregulated and smash her car at
- 3:30Speaker 8: one hundred miles per hour into a wall. This is
- 3:32Speaker 8: the kind of person who would be self centered, who
- 3:34Speaker 8: would only think about herself. But what's interesting to me, Nancy,
- 3:38Speaker 8: her mother has no moral compass. The mother says this sucks.
- 3:43Speaker 8: What the mother needs to say is, sweetie, you're going
- 3:46Speaker 8: to be here the rest of your life. There are
- 3:48Speaker 8: no there's no champagne, there's no welcome basket, and you're
- 3:51Speaker 8: going to have to read that book again and again.
- 3:54Speaker 8: I think her mother needs to give her the Bible.
- 3:56Speaker 8: I think that's the book she needs to read, and
- 3:58Speaker 8: she needs to stretch that one out as long as possible.
- 4:02Speaker 1: A welcome basket whining, whining that she only has one
- 4:09Speaker 1: book so far. But that's not all.
- 4:11Speaker 6: Listen, we need to just figure out this iPad like ASI,
- 4:14Speaker 6: like I'm so.
- 4:16Speaker 4: For real, and and my visitation is still pending for
- 4:20Speaker 4: my video visits and there's no They're just that they'll
- 4:22Speaker 4: contact me when I'm approved.
- 4:25Speaker 5: So and get all my friends to make them too.
- 4:29Speaker 4: I did. I sent it to everybody. Yeah, this is
- 4:34Speaker 4: gonna suck until you can get your.
- 4:38Speaker 5: Like, it's only three thirty. How is it only three thirty?
- 4:44Speaker 7: For real?
- 4:45Speaker 5: I did not even know it was only three thirty.
- 4:46Speaker 6: I thought it was like five.
- 4:48Speaker 5: It's three thirty.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Okay. The two victims are dead. They're not going to
- 4:57Speaker 1: get to read a book. They're not going to get
- 4:58Speaker 1: to look at an iPad. They're not going to get
- 5:00Speaker 1: to check the watch to see what time it is,
- 5:02Speaker 1: like she is no devid demands for them. Their families
- 5:07Speaker 1: are in intense pain. The victims were very, very young
- 5:11Speaker 1: at the beginning of their lives, and their only mistake
- 5:17Speaker 1: was being friends with Helen Wills, Mackenzie Shirrilla. Let's just
- 5:21Speaker 1: have a little reality check joining me, Doctor Kendall Crowns.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He is the chief medical examiner out of Fort Worth, Texas,
- 5:30Speaker 1: never a lack of business. He is the star of
- 5:35Speaker 1: a hit podcast which I put on loop before when
- 5:38Speaker 1: I'm driving Mayhem in the Morgue. He is the esteemed
- 5:42Speaker 1: lecturer at the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU. Doctor
- 5:47Speaker 1: Kendall Crowns, Before I listen to her whiney voice complaining
- 5:54Speaker 1: about not having an iPad and only being given one
- 5:57Speaker 1: book and enlisting all of her friends, they probably won't
- 6:01Speaker 1: touch you with ten foot pole to right the prison
- 6:05Speaker 1: or get involved with some crusade to get her more
- 6:08Speaker 1: amusements behind bars? Can we talk about what happened to
- 6:15Speaker 1: the two victims? How did they die?
- 6:21Speaker 9: So she drove a car at a brick wall or
- 6:24Speaker 9: a concrete wall at one hundred miles per hour and
- 6:27Speaker 9: slammed into it basically head on, but angling it a
- 6:30Speaker 9: little bit so that the passenger side hit, which is
- 6:34Speaker 9: probably why she survived. So the thing is is what
- 6:38Speaker 9: happened to them? Well, it's kind of dependent on if
- 6:42Speaker 9: they have on seatbelts or not. At that high of
- 6:44Speaker 9: a speed, seatbelts and airbag air bags will deploy, but
- 6:49Speaker 9: the seat belts can actually slip up and cause damage.
- 6:52Speaker 9: It can fracture your collar bone and confracture ribs. It
- 6:55Speaker 9: can fracture your pelvis, and if you slight enough, it
- 6:58Speaker 9: can also take your head off. The rear seat passenger
- 7:02Speaker 9: evidently landed on top of the front seat passenger. So
- 7:06Speaker 9: they hit this wall at this high rate of speed,
- 7:09Speaker 9: they're gonna go forward into the dash. They're gonna get
- 7:12Speaker 9: massive skull fracturing. Often it's deforming, where the entire skull fractures,
- 7:18Speaker 9: the skin splits open and the brain comes out, and
- 7:21Speaker 9: then they're gonna get multiple rib fractures, tearing of the
- 7:24Speaker 9: or lacerations that alungs, the heart and then the liver
- 7:29Speaker 9: and bladder as well spleen kidneys. It's all that force
- 7:33Speaker 9: going into your body, and then if you brace yourself
- 7:36Speaker 9: at all, it will fracture your femurs, causing your legs
- 7:40Speaker 9: to fold up back into your body, and it'll also
- 7:44Speaker 9: shatter and sever your spine as well.
- 7:46Speaker 1: So there's a myriad.
- 7:47Speaker 9: Of injuries caused by a high speed head on blunt
- 7:50Speaker 9: force injury car crash.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And yet she says, as she's caught on tape stating, quote,
- 7:57Speaker 1: I'm annoyed.
- 7:59Speaker 6: Listen, we need to just figure out this iPad like
- 8:04Speaker 6: asif like I'm so for.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Real and and my visitation is still pending for my
- 8:10Speaker 4: video visits and there's no They're just that they'll contact
- 8:13Speaker 4: me when I'm approved. So and get all my friends
- 8:17Speaker 4: to make them too. I did. I sent it to everybody. Yeah,
- 8:24Speaker 4: this is gonna suck until you can get your.
- 8:28Speaker 5: Like, it's only three thirty. How is it only three thirty?
- 8:34Speaker 4: For real?
- 8:35Speaker 5: I did not even know it was.
- 8:36Speaker 6: Only three thirty. I thought it was like five.
- 8:38Speaker 5: It's three thirty.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Do they not know they're being recorded? So not only
- 8:43Speaker 1: is she demanding an iPad and complaining about the one book,
- 8:48Speaker 1: claiming she's quote annoyed. Did you just hear what doctor
- 8:52Speaker 1: Kendall Crown's described happened to the victims? Their brain coming
- 8:57Speaker 1: out of their skull. And that's what their families get
- 9:00Speaker 1: to think about before they go to bed at night,
- 9:02Speaker 1: when they put their head on their pillow, they think
- 9:03Speaker 1: about their son with his skull cracked open. And she's annoyed,
- 9:09Speaker 1: but there's more now, she says, I'm just so irritated.
- 9:15Speaker 4: Listen, Yeah, I'm so irritated, Like I just need a book, like,
- 9:19Speaker 4: so anything, anything.
- 9:22Speaker 6: Cards, a book, Yeah.
- 9:24Speaker 4: Right, anything would be great. And you shouldn't make wait
- 9:27Speaker 4: that long to get your comment If that's the case,
- 9:30Speaker 4: you know, give me a pad of paper and a
- 9:32Speaker 4: pen for in you know, intro, and then when I
- 9:33Speaker 4: get my commentary, I'll give it back. But it is
- 9:37Speaker 4: what it is. There's nothing we can do about it.
- 9:39Speaker 4: But it's really bad and I'm sorry to make the
- 9:42Speaker 4: person go crazy.
- 9:44Speaker 6: Yes, I literally like it's just like there's nothing for
- 9:46Speaker 6: me to do in the nothing.
- 9:50Speaker 1: How about do something volunteering? How about do something, do
- 9:53Speaker 1: better yourself and help other people, not hurt them as
- 9:57Speaker 1: you have already done. Crime stories with Nancy Grace, the
- 10:11Speaker 1: real life star of a Netflix special called The Crash.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Mackenzie Shirrilla aka hell On Wills loses a bid for
- 10:22Speaker 1: a new murder trial in the Ohio Supreme Court after
- 10:25Speaker 1: she kills two people, two young men begging her not
- 10:30Speaker 1: to do it. Prosecutors argue she intentionally drove for Carl
- 10:35Speaker 1: one hundred mph without breaking into a brick Wall in Strongsville,
- 10:40Speaker 1: killing two Dominic Russo just twenty Davion Flanagan just nineteen.
- 10:47Speaker 1: The Ohio Supremes refused to take up this latest appeal.
- 10:51Speaker 1: In this appeal, she wanted to revive a post conviction challenge.
- 10:55Speaker 1: It had been dismissed by the lower courts and the
- 10:57Speaker 1: Supreme's ruled. The petition was filed two and the trial
- 11:01Speaker 1: court lacked jurisdiction to cover it. Translation, the lawyers filed
- 11:05Speaker 1: it in the wrong court, and by the time it
- 11:08Speaker 1: got to the Ohio Supremes it was too late to
- 11:11Speaker 1: file it. They had three hundred and sixty five days
- 11:13Speaker 1: to challenge the conviction. After transcripts are filed, Shrilla filed
- 11:18Speaker 1: her petition one day late. Ouch. These are the facts.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Evidence shows that she threatened to kill the boyfriend. At
- 11:28Speaker 1: first this was thought to be an accident, but then
- 11:31Speaker 1: evidence revealed she never took her foot off the gas.
- 11:35Speaker 1: She wanted to kill him and she did. By the way,
- 11:39Speaker 1: let's go straight out to veteran trial lawyer John Mobley,
- 11:43Speaker 1: founder of the Mobley Law firm Mobley did you hear
- 11:48Speaker 1: did you hear the mom say? Yeah? And you shouldn't
- 11:51Speaker 1: have to wait for so long to get these things
- 11:53Speaker 1: from the commissary. Oh oh, oh bad commissary. What is
- 11:57Speaker 1: wrong with these people?
- 12:00Speaker 10: Fancy?
- 12:00Speaker 7: You know, I've got to call it like I see it.
- 12:02Speaker 7: You know, from a legal standpoint, despite this young lady's behavior.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Do you start every explanation with I've got to call
- 12:10Speaker 1: it like I see it. Of course you're gonna call
- 12:12Speaker 1: it like you see it. Is somebody paying you or
- 12:16Speaker 1: or convincing you or threatening you to say anything other
- 12:19Speaker 1: than call it like I see it. Okay, that said,
- 12:23Speaker 1: moving forward, going forward, Mobley, We're going to assume you're
- 12:29Speaker 1: calling it like you see it, okay, So no need
- 12:33Speaker 1: to preface everything with I'm going to call it like
- 12:36Speaker 1: I see it. Okay, go ahead. Not to be repetitive,
- 12:39Speaker 1: but please John, call it like you see it.
- 12:42Speaker 10: Actually, I feel kind of threatened right now.
- 12:44Speaker 7: But I will say that I do believe that this
- 12:48Speaker 7: young lady's attorneys and parents have done her disservice just
- 12:51Speaker 7: just based on her history of unstable behavior.
- 12:54Speaker 10: I mean, that's just documented.
- 12:56Speaker 7: And when you look at her behavior while she's in
- 12:58Speaker 7: the prisons system, it is very clear that this young
- 13:01Speaker 7: lady has undiagnosed, untreated mental health issues. And when I
- 13:06Speaker 7: review the history of this case and look at the
- 13:09Speaker 7: defenses that were presented in the first trial, and even
- 13:12Speaker 7: looking at the claim being made by her new attorneys
- 13:15Speaker 7: that are claiming effective assistan of council, I don't see
- 13:18Speaker 7: anywhere her attorneys addressing her mental health issues.
- 13:23Speaker 10: And I do believe.
- 13:24Speaker 7: Again that this young lady's behavior is screaming that she
- 13:29Speaker 7: has severe mental health issues to which she needs counseling therapy.
- 13:33Speaker 1: What she has severe?
- 13:35Speaker 10: What mental health issues?
- 13:38Speaker 1: What mental health? Yes? You know what? Guess what, Mobley.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Isn't it true? You have a JD A juris doctrine.
- 13:46Speaker 1: That's a yes.
- 13:47Speaker 2: No?
- 13:47Speaker 1: Is that true?
- 13:49Speaker 10: That is correct?
- 13:52Speaker 1: Okay? Are you a trained mental health caregiver?
- 13:57Speaker 7: I'm a trained criminal defense attorney, and I can identify
- 14:00Speaker 7: them to commit conduct.
- 14:02Speaker 10: Have mental health here?
- 14:03Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna have to cut or Mike right there
- 14:05Speaker 1: that said, let's go to a real mental health care giver.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Dr Bethany Marshall. Now we just heard Mobley give his
- 14:13Speaker 1: unsolicited medical opinion. And unless you got a JD MD,
- 14:18Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that coming out of your mouth. Mobley.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Now the law, Yes, doctor Bethany a severe mental health illness.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Don't you think her defense lawyers, if she had a
- 14:31Speaker 1: mental health defect, they would have written it on a
- 14:35Speaker 1: banner and driven it up and down Fifth Avenue, that
- 14:39Speaker 1: she had a mental defect. But they didn't. Why didn't they?
- 14:42Speaker 1: And you know they would have because that could have
- 14:45Speaker 1: been a viable defense, but there wasn't. And I know you,
- 14:50Speaker 1: John Mobley, you would have tilled that earth over and
- 14:55Speaker 1: over until you dug up a little rock of mental
- 14:59Speaker 1: de effect, and you would have heralded it up and
- 15:03Speaker 1: now the courthouse halls. But they didn't. Bethany, She's got
- 15:07Speaker 1: a defect, all right. It's called narcissistic historyonic translation drama queen.
- 15:15Speaker 8: Yes she does, Nancy, she does not have any type
- 15:18Speaker 8: of mental disorder. She looks very intact to me. She's articulate,
- 15:22Speaker 8: she's manipulative. You know, when you hear her talking to
- 15:25Speaker 8: her mother, she's making her mother feel sorry for her.
- 15:27Speaker 8: She's drawing her mother in as a sympathetic person. But
- 15:31Speaker 8: she does have your right of personality disorder. As I
- 15:33Speaker 8: said earlier, Cluster b I like histrionic, that's true, very dramatic.
- 15:39Speaker 8: Histrionic is when a person has rapidly shifting emotions that
- 15:43Speaker 8: appear deep in nature, but they're not deep at all.
- 15:46Speaker 8: They're just designed to get attention. She wants as much attention,
- 15:50Speaker 8: not just from her mother, but all of her friends.
- 15:52Speaker 8: So her mother's going to pass this video link around
- 15:54Speaker 8: to all of her friends.
- 15:55Speaker 10: You know who.
- 15:55Speaker 8: It reminds me of Nancy. Remember how Casey Anthony spoke
- 15:59Speaker 8: with her mom. Remember how she whined, she pushed, she begs,
- 16:03Speaker 8: she manipulated, and you know she wanted her mother to
- 16:08Speaker 8: reach out to her boyfriend. Remember that, trying to remember
- 16:11Speaker 8: the name of the boyfriend, and the mother was just
- 16:14Speaker 8: overwhelmed with the daughter did not even know what to.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Do with her John Mobley. Doctor Bethany Marshall is a
- 16:21Speaker 1: renowned psychoanalyst with mental health training. Unlike you or me,
- 16:27Speaker 1: but you've dealt with enough defendants to know somehow, it's
- 16:31Speaker 1: always me me, me, me, me, me, me me. And
- 16:34Speaker 1: you hear her bossing her mom around, telling the mom
- 16:37Speaker 1: what to do. Narcissistic, histrionic. Those are defects, true, but
- 16:43Speaker 1: they do not rise to a mental defect or insanity
- 16:47Speaker 1: under the law. I'm going out on a limb here
- 16:49Speaker 1: and I'm trusting you, Mobley, because I happen to know
- 16:51Speaker 1: your trial record. It's very impressive. You win a lot
- 16:56Speaker 1: of cases, you make a lot of great settlements. You
- 16:59Speaker 1: know the law.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Law.
- 17:00Speaker 1: This does not rise to insanity.
- 17:04Speaker 7: And I want to be clear on something. And by
- 17:06Speaker 7: the way, I do agree with her statement that the
- 17:08Speaker 7: parents are part of the problem and they enable her
- 17:11Speaker 7: with their behavior. But I want to be clear that
- 17:14Speaker 7: I'm distinguishing between mental defect and disease, which would amount
- 17:18Speaker 7: to legal insanity versus mental health issues with respect to mitigation. Okay,
- 17:23Speaker 7: I do not believe that she was legally insane under
- 17:26Speaker 7: any law of any state.
- 17:27Speaker 10: Okay, I do not believe that.
- 17:29Speaker 7: I do believe that she has mental health issues that
- 17:32Speaker 7: were untreated, undiagnosed, and probably could you know, contribute to
- 17:37Speaker 7: her conduct.
- 17:38Speaker 10: And I believe that if those issues are not addressed.
- 17:42Speaker 7: By proper evaluation, then they could not have been presented
- 17:46Speaker 7: to the corporate mitigation at sentencing, and she cannot. She's
- 17:49Speaker 7: not receiving treatment for it in prison, So you are correct,
- 17:52Speaker 7: she will serve her prison sentence without receiving any appropriate
- 17:55Speaker 7: treatment and get out un There'll.
- 17:56Speaker 10: Be no change.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Hold on I'm flipping through the DSM. You know what
- 18:02Speaker 1: that is because of all your mental defect defenses. You've
- 18:04Speaker 1: tried to put up the Diagnostic Statistic Manual for Mental disorders.
- 18:11Speaker 1: It's now in the fifth edition. I believe I'm looking through.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Oh I found it. Here's her picture of spoil brat syndrome. Yeah,
- 18:18Speaker 1: there she is. They've got her picture, spoiled brat. Ooh ooh.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I'd love you to raise that defense with me as
- 18:25Speaker 1: a prosecutor. I would be so happy. I would be
- 18:28Speaker 1: parading up in front of that jury with that DSM
- 18:31Speaker 1: in my hand and make them read, to put it
- 18:33Speaker 1: up on a slide for them to have to look out,
- 18:35Speaker 1: and even turn the lights off so there's nowhere to
- 18:38Speaker 1: look but up on the slide. About what is a
- 18:41Speaker 1: spoiled brat defense? You know we saw it before with
- 18:44Speaker 1: Ethan Couch, the affluenza defense. He's just so rich and affluent.
- 18:50Speaker 1: He can't be held guilty because he just didn't know
- 18:52Speaker 1: any better, you know what. Joel Walman joining me co
- 18:55Speaker 1: host and star off Surviving the Survivor, Joel Wollman, do
- 19:03Speaker 1: you hear John Mobley state that she has a male defect?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Could you tell us what really happened.
- 19:12Speaker 10: Nancy.
- 19:12Speaker 2: I did hear that, and I don't owe John personally,
- 19:16Speaker 2: but he's just the criminal defense attorneys have a job
- 19:19Speaker 2: to do, and I respect that job immensely. You know,
- 19:22Speaker 2: I've been in broadcast journalism for thirty years. I'm an
- 19:25Speaker 2: observer of people, and I just see this as an
- 19:28Speaker 2: absolute tsunami of dysfunction. And Nancy, I'm not saying this.
- 19:32Speaker 2: You don't yell at me, but I am one hundred
- 19:35Speaker 2: percent agreeing with you. I'm the son of a psychiatrist,
- 19:37Speaker 2: the son of a social worker, and to me, the
- 19:40Speaker 2: diagnosis here is a spoiled brat on steroids. She just
- 19:44Speaker 2: doesn't know, doesn't have the maturity level as to the
- 19:49Speaker 2: seriousness and the gravity of what she committed here, what
- 19:51Speaker 2: she has done here. And then you add into the
- 19:54Speaker 2: mix here the ingredient that the mother and the father
- 19:58Speaker 2: here are complete andablers, her enablers. They are not stopping
- 20:02Speaker 2: her and saying, Mackenzie, you are the one responsible for this.
- 20:06Speaker 2: They are oowing and eyeing her, and it is just
- 20:09Speaker 2: like pouring salt in the wound. She needs a reality
- 20:13Speaker 2: check because she is not getting out of prison anything soon.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? Wait, every stop everything, screech halt.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Joel Wallman, star co host of Surviving a Survivor. Do
- 20:25Speaker 1: I have this right? Did hell on wheels miss Thing
- 20:30Speaker 1: Mackenzie Shrilla expose her breast to a jailhouse visitor?
- 20:37Speaker 9: You have that right?
- 20:38Speaker 2: And this is where it's also a kind of a
- 20:40Speaker 2: tornado of confusion here, because on the one hand, you
- 20:43Speaker 2: have these calls where she is bored to death in jail.
- 20:45Speaker 2: I can't believe it is only three thirty, it's supposed
- 20:48Speaker 2: to be five. And on the flip side, it seems
- 20:50Speaker 2: like she's having the time of her life. She's got
- 20:53Speaker 2: men who are reaching out to her, she has lesbian
- 20:55Speaker 2: relationships going on. I mean, the mother was asked about,
- 20:59Speaker 2: how do you feel you know that your daughter is
- 21:01Speaker 2: having these lesbian relationship in prison, and her response was,
- 21:05Speaker 2: she's in her twenties, you know. I mean, this is
- 21:08Speaker 2: where the insanity is coming from. It is coming from
- 21:11Speaker 2: the top down, just like in a corporate America, you've
- 21:14Speaker 2: got a nutty boss or a CEO, and the culture's
- 21:18Speaker 2: gonna be odd.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Woman, you think I care if she's gay, I don't care.
- 21:22Speaker 1: All I care about are those two dead bodies. Did
- 21:24Speaker 1: you not hear Kindle Crowns? Excuse me, Kendle Crowns, Doctor
- 21:29Speaker 1: Kendall Crowns, Chief medical Examiner, Terran County. He's seen a
- 21:32Speaker 1: thing or two. Did you not hear him talk about
- 21:36Speaker 1: the brains coming through the skull? I don't want to
- 21:40Speaker 1: hear about she had a lesbian relationship. Don't care whatever.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I care about the two dead young men. I care
- 21:49Speaker 1: about their families who are sick to their stomachs every
- 21:53Speaker 1: morning when they wake up, every night when they go
- 21:55Speaker 1: to bed, how many tears their pillows are wet because
- 21:58Speaker 1: of Srilla. I go give a flying fig who she's
- 22:03Speaker 1: sleeping with behind bars? I feel sorry for the partner,
- 22:07Speaker 1: But the exposing of her breasts in the jail house
- 22:11Speaker 1: to a visitor, I want to hear about that. And
- 22:14Speaker 1: what can you tell me Walman about thirty six tickets
- 22:18Speaker 1: behind bars?
- 22:20Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 22:20Speaker 2: I mean this is one of like you said, thirty
- 22:22Speaker 2: six tickets and fractions in prison. One of them is
- 22:25Speaker 2: having I guess, alleged tablet sex. For lack of a
- 22:28Speaker 2: better phrase, I don't know what the kids are calling
- 22:30Speaker 2: it these days, but yeah, she's had.
- 22:32Speaker 1: What did you just say, alleged tablet sex. I don't
- 22:38Speaker 1: think that's what it's referred to, but just go ahead.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Yeah, so some of this is going on, and apparently
- 22:45Speaker 2: she and a female partner. The female partner was seen
- 22:49Speaker 2: on camera Askeenzie Shirrilla was I believe she pleaded guilty
- 22:54Speaker 2: in that particular infraction. And then she's got, you know,
- 22:58Speaker 2: a forty six year old guy who reached out here.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I'm wondering who that forty six year old person is.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Who's interested in a twenty one year old who's gonna
- 23:05Speaker 2: be spending many years behind bars. But I mean, the
- 23:08Speaker 2: point I raised earlier is just confusing. Is on the
- 23:11Speaker 2: one hand, she's whining and complaining to her mom about
- 23:13Speaker 2: how bad prison life is, and then she's having, you know,
- 23:18Speaker 2: enjoyment on the flip side. So the public image that
- 23:21Speaker 2: they are creating is not one of good optics. And
- 23:26Speaker 2: that's really what I think the family needs to be focused.
- 23:28Speaker 1: On crime stories with Nancy Gray hill on Wheels aka Mackenzie,
- 23:41Speaker 1: Shirrilla's lawyers argued her petition for post conviction relief should
- 23:46Speaker 1: be considered because the filing deadline failed during a leap year. Okay,
- 23:54Speaker 1: both the lower court and the Ohio Supremes laughed that
- 23:57Speaker 1: out of the courtroom. The victims' families say, however, it
- 24:00Speaker 1: brought them a little comfort. And this is why I'm
- 24:03Speaker 1: hearing in my ear. We are now joined by Cheyenne Topping.
- 24:06Speaker 1: This is Srilla's girlfriend behind bars, and also Christine Russo
- 24:14Speaker 1: is joining us. This is the victim, one of them,
- 24:17Speaker 1: Dominic Russo's sister. She is the host of the Big
- 24:22Speaker 1: Sister Unhinged podcast, and she's trying to keep the legacy
- 24:27Speaker 1: of her brother's life alive. You know what, Christine, I
- 24:31Speaker 1: respect that so much. I did something in another way
- 24:36Speaker 1: to keep the memory of my fiance who was murdered alive,
- 24:40Speaker 1: to help other people because in a way, you know,
- 24:46Speaker 1: it keeps me connected to him, and the thought of
- 24:50Speaker 1: just forgetting about what happened is well, I can't do that.
- 24:57Speaker 1: It changed my whole life, as it has yours. When
- 25:00Speaker 1: you hear her whining to the mother who totally empowers
- 25:06Speaker 1: her that she can't get an iPad fast enough and
- 25:11Speaker 1: she doesn't have enough amusements, amusements behind bars, exposing her
- 25:17Speaker 1: breast to a visitor. She's not worried at all about
- 25:21Speaker 1: Dominic or what happened.
- 25:25Speaker 3: No, that's and I really appreciate you bringing to light
- 25:29Speaker 3: and exposing her and everybody in that you know that
- 25:32Speaker 3: has anything to do with her. I appreciate you helping
- 25:35Speaker 3: our family bring that to light and exposing them for
- 25:38Speaker 3: who they are. They've done a pretty good job. I
- 25:40Speaker 3: think of exposing themselves as you can hear what's going on,
- 25:43Speaker 3: but it's I try to stay away as best as
- 25:47Speaker 3: I can, you know, scrolling through social medias and stuff.
- 25:51Speaker 3: I can't stand looking at her face, the whining behind
- 25:55Speaker 3: prison bars. It's like she's not getting there is no punishment.
- 25:59Speaker 3: It seems like, yeah, she's in jail, but she seems
- 26:01Speaker 3: to be having a great time in jail. And that's
- 26:04Speaker 3: where it's infuriating.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Listen to Mackenzie Sharrilla up behind bars.
- 26:10Speaker 4: The rumor mill is strong, Okay, damn strong, as though
- 26:14Speaker 4: people are so sad and depressing, like they really have
- 26:16Speaker 4: like nothing, like credible nothing. This is the saddest town.
- 26:22Speaker 1: It's like, open up my courtroom for.
- 26:23Speaker 5: Like the whole city to.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Come and just like last stream at all and like
- 26:26Speaker 1: don't block anything, right right, that's all on the news.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Yep, that's why I was hoping this one was going
- 26:33Speaker 4: to be live streamed, but it wasn't.
- 26:37Speaker 2: It was.
- 26:38Speaker 4: No, the end was, but not the whole thing. Just
- 26:40Speaker 4: what the judge says was live stream. But I was
- 26:42Speaker 4: hoping the whole thing would have done, but it wasn't.
- 26:45Speaker 4: So that's okay, who cares? They're so stupid Sony's.
- 26:49Speaker 9: Yeah, I just can't wait for them to.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Like maybe have so much explaining to do, Like there's
- 26:52Speaker 1: so many like unanswered talking out of their they have
- 26:57Speaker 1: so much explaining today. Joining me now. In addition to
- 27:02Speaker 1: Christine Russo, who is dominant older sister, her podcast is
- 27:08Speaker 1: the Big Sister Unhinged podcast, Cheyenne Topping, who is intimately
- 27:15Speaker 1: familiar with the goings on behind bars with Mackenzie Shrilla.
- 27:20Speaker 1: The diva demands are insane, Cheyenne, and now she's complaining
- 27:26Speaker 1: her entire trial was not livestream just the end. What
- 27:30Speaker 1: is wrong with her?
- 27:33Speaker 2: Uh?
- 27:33Speaker 11: Yeah, that definitely sounds like McKenzie because she is a
- 27:36Speaker 11: person that is like very self absorbed, So I'm not
- 27:40Speaker 11: even surprised to hear that conversation coming from her and
- 27:43Speaker 11: her mom.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Honestly, the diva demands seemingly have no end. She's gotten
- 27:48Speaker 1: thirty six tickets behind bars? What is a ticket? How
- 27:53Speaker 1: do you get a ticket behind bars? Cheyenne topping.
- 27:56Speaker 11: So I took it as a rule in fractions, or
- 28:00Speaker 11: if you break one of the rules, which I give
- 28:02Speaker 11: you a handbook when you come in, when you very
- 28:04Speaker 11: come in, and if you break one of those, it's
- 28:07Speaker 11: basically court inside of prison. So you'll go in front
- 28:11Speaker 11: of the sergeant. He'll read you your ticket, which could
- 28:15Speaker 11: be like an out of place or as y'all see,
- 28:18Speaker 11: she has like sex tickets. That's where you're like intimate
- 28:20Speaker 11: with another inmate. So you'll go in front of the sergeant.
- 28:24Speaker 11: He'll read it and then ask you guilty or not guilty,
- 28:27Speaker 11: and if you're guilty, and if it's a high enough ticket,
- 28:30Speaker 11: you go to the whole. If not, you get like
- 28:33Speaker 11: tablet restriction or early bed stuff like that.
- 28:38Speaker 1: You know, did she seem to care when she would
- 28:42Speaker 1: be reprimanded or get a ticket as it is called
- 28:46Speaker 1: behind bars.
- 28:48Speaker 11: When I was in there with her, she really did
- 28:50Speaker 11: care about getting tickets. She did not want to get
- 28:53Speaker 11: tickets because she firmly believed she was going home on
- 28:56Speaker 11: her appeal. So now that all this is coming out,
- 29:00Speaker 11: I'm not surprised because she did showing her true character
- 29:03Speaker 11: and I could tell she's gonna be on a path
- 29:05Speaker 11: to destruction, honestly.
- 29:07Speaker 1: More Mackenzie Shrilla a k A hell on wheels caught
- 29:13Speaker 1: on tape.
- 29:14Speaker 4: I think that's why this is so popular because it's
- 29:18Speaker 4: it's a mystery, but it's not it is you know.
- 29:20Speaker 1: What I mean?
- 29:21Speaker 6: I mean, like, can you like get a hypnotized person
- 29:24Speaker 6: in the SCE, like make me remember, Like that's what
- 29:27Speaker 6: I would like.
- 29:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know me too, Honey, could just.
- 29:30Speaker 5: Also broke your This guy is so big a lemeo.
- 29:33Speaker 5: Like I watched the live stream and when you walk in,
- 29:35Speaker 5: I was like, damn, Jay said the same thing, and
- 29:38Speaker 5: you look really good. Did you get that off your
- 29:40Speaker 5: arm yet? I know if you weren't wearing your arm thing. Also,
- 29:42Speaker 5: I will make sure to answer your call. It's kind
- 29:47Speaker 5: your funniest.
- 29:49Speaker 4: Everybody's saying you got a bumping little booty now.
- 29:51Speaker 5: Everybody said hashtag fat.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Booty, hashtag sick girl vie pashtag fat booty. Okay, Shyanne
- 30:06Speaker 1: topping you dated her behind bars for nearly a year
- 30:11Speaker 1: she's worried or bragging. She's not worried. She's bragging about
- 30:16Speaker 1: her ass and how it looked on camera.
- 30:20Speaker 11: Mackenzie is just a whole nother, whole other world when
- 30:24Speaker 11: it comes to the attention, positive or negative. She loves
- 30:28Speaker 11: it all. It doesn't matter what it's for. Like she'd
- 30:30Speaker 11: walk around in prison and ask people do you want
- 30:32Speaker 11: my autograph? Or ask the ceosa do you doesn't know
- 30:35Speaker 11: who I am? I'm a viral.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Now we hear Mackenzie Shrilla aka hell On Wheels killed
- 30:45Speaker 1: two people intentionally found guilty, talking about feeling sick to
- 30:51Speaker 1: her stomach. But she's not feeling sick to her stomach
- 30:54Speaker 1: because of what doctor Kenel Crowns just told us about
- 30:57Speaker 1: what happened to the victims. You know what, I'm not
- 30:59Speaker 1: gonna tell you wait for it. Listen to this.
- 31:02Speaker 5: I'm like sticking to my stomach. I just like it
- 31:05Speaker 5: just like bothered me what they said, Like I just
- 31:07Speaker 5: can't believe they would say that, Like to.
- 31:09Speaker 4: I was, I mean, the military, are you for real?
- 31:12Speaker 5: Oh my mom?
- 31:13Speaker 4: That's a lie. That's a lie.
- 31:18Speaker 6: Isn't that funny?
- 31:19Speaker 5: They were trying to say that so they can make
- 31:21Speaker 5: him sound like well, I think he said that. So
- 31:23Speaker 5: like the judges like, oh, he sounds very respectable young man, and.
- 31:26Speaker 6: So they hit me like kid.
- 31:28Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, are you kids?
- 31:30Speaker 5: Literally like made my tears stop when they said that, Like,
- 31:32Speaker 5: my tears just got.
- 31:33Speaker 6: All stocked right back up.
- 31:35Speaker 4: I couldn't even believe it down, would you decide? His freakerself?
- 31:39Speaker 1: So she is sick to her stomach, nauseated about how
- 31:43Speaker 1: she was portrayed. Joel Walman co host and start off
- 31:47Speaker 1: surviving the Survivor. I think her priorities are best awkwards.
- 31:54Speaker 2: One hundred and I'm just thinking about all this, listening
- 31:58Speaker 2: to all the guests, and I really literally cannot wrap
- 32:02Speaker 2: my head around it. I mean, you just saw Jalen
- 32:05Speaker 2: Brunson the Knicks one and they asked him afterwards, how
- 32:07Speaker 2: do you feel? He said, I have no words. And
- 32:09Speaker 2: That's kind of where I'm at right now as a
- 32:11Speaker 2: journalist because I've never seen anything like this. The only
- 32:15Speaker 2: thing I can really come up with right now, and
- 32:17Speaker 2: I'm afraid to say this is Mackenzie Sharilla might be
- 32:21Speaker 2: the first of many that we see like this because
- 32:24Speaker 2: of social media. She is, you know, obviously the TikTok generation,
- 32:29Speaker 2: and they're now becoming old enough to be incarcerated. And
- 32:33Speaker 2: are all these people who are spending their entire days
- 32:36Speaker 2: streaming video of themselves, are they going to be incarcerated
- 32:41Speaker 2: one day? And wonder where are the live cams because
- 32:44Speaker 2: that's what we're seeing in real time right now with
- 32:46Speaker 2: Mackenzie Sharilla. She is having a tantrum that she's not
- 32:50Speaker 2: getting the attention that she deserves that she used to
- 32:53Speaker 2: have on the outside when she was freely able to tick.
- 32:57Speaker 1: On another issue, John Mobley, if by some crazy chance
- 33:05Speaker 1: there is a new trial, you do know that she
- 33:09Speaker 1: is currently making any hope of a mental defense. Mental
- 33:14Speaker 1: defect defense are insanity impossible because there is no right
- 33:18Speaker 1: to privacy behind bars. These calls are rightfully and legally recorded.
- 33:24Speaker 1: I would bring in everyone and just play them on
- 33:27Speaker 1: a loop for the jury.
- 33:30Speaker 10: I agree.
- 33:31Speaker 7: I'm I actually kind of surprised that she's making these
- 33:34Speaker 7: statements while she's behind bars, because any competent attorney would
- 33:39Speaker 7: tell someone not to do that, because if you are
- 33:42Speaker 7: able to get a new trial, any post trial statements
- 33:45Speaker 7: you make, they're not you know, while you're in custody,
- 33:48Speaker 7: do not make the long enforce and a violation Miranda,
- 33:50Speaker 7: all those steps can be used against you either a
- 33:53Speaker 7: in the prostitution's case in cheap or be extended.
- 33:57Speaker 10: And I think you know, and.
- 33:58Speaker 7: Quite frankly, it kind of bitter in the behind of
- 34:01Speaker 7: Sentaceen in the first case, because a lot of the
- 34:04Speaker 7: social media posts she made and comments she made were
- 34:07Speaker 7: used at the sentence and even by the prosecutors because
- 34:10Speaker 7: and the prosecutors argue she didn't have any more sort
- 34:12Speaker 7: of conduct which led to hers even a different sentence.
- 34:15Speaker 7: And I think again, she just come from that point
- 34:17Speaker 7: digging herself in the hole deeper and deeper and deeper.
- 34:20Speaker 7: If she doesn't that get in.
- 34:21Speaker 1: The try listen to what Shirrilla's father has to say.
- 34:27Speaker 12: She has remorse, She was upset. If you would have
- 34:29Speaker 12: heard her when she found out that dom died, if
- 34:31Speaker 12: you would have heard the sound that came out of her,
- 34:34Speaker 12: it would have crushed you. I know my daughter didn't
- 34:36Speaker 12: do it on purpose. I know when my daughter lies.
- 34:38Speaker 12: My daughter should have been charged with vehicular homicide two counts,
- 34:42Speaker 12: and juvie courten it should have never left. The juvenile
- 34:44Speaker 12: judge took out the aggravated murder thing for the same
- 34:48Speaker 12: reason I'm saying they should have never charged her in
- 34:52Speaker 12: because there's there's no intent, there's no prior calculation, there's
- 34:56Speaker 12: no purpose. It's not there.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I actually feel bad for the dad he is struggling
- 35:03Speaker 1: with the concept of intent to commit a crime. Intent
- 35:06Speaker 1: can be formed just like that, in the blink of
- 35:08Speaker 1: an eye, the twinkling of a moment, and the time
- 35:11Speaker 1: it takes you to pull a trigger. That's how fast
- 35:14Speaker 1: intent under the law can be formed. It does not
- 35:17Speaker 1: require a long thought out plan like poisoning someone over
- 35:21Speaker 1: weeks and months. It can be formed in the dime
- 35:24Speaker 1: it takes you to pull a trigger. So with her,
- 35:28Speaker 1: as was proven in court, not taking her foot off
- 35:31Speaker 1: the gas, Let's see that video of her flying by
- 35:34Speaker 1: right there, there's intent there you go crashing and killing
- 35:38Speaker 1: two people? Is time enough to form intent? Cheyenne Topping
- 35:43Speaker 1: joining us Shrilla's prison girlfriend for nearly a year. She
- 35:49Speaker 1: is trying everything possible to get a new trial, and
- 35:52Speaker 1: she's got both of her parents bemboozled. Does she know
- 35:56Speaker 1: she's got them wrapped around her little finger?
- 35:58Speaker 11: She one hundred percent is that they're all on her
- 36:01Speaker 11: side and going to be wrapped around her fingers. She
- 36:03Speaker 11: told me from in prison that they're all behind her,
- 36:07Speaker 11: and even like they told me, diamonds them and says
- 36:09Speaker 11: there was all behind her too as well.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Straight out to Christine Rousseau, this is Dominic's older sister
- 36:18Speaker 1: and star of the Big Sister Unhinged podcast. There is
- 36:22Speaker 1: no remorse. Has she ever told you I'm sorry, I
- 36:27Speaker 1: didn't mean for this to happen.
- 36:30Speaker 3: No, she never told me she was sorry. She acted
- 36:34Speaker 3: before she was arrested. She very much acted like it
- 36:38Speaker 3: was an accident, but there was a ton of lies
- 36:41Speaker 3: and you know her trying to cover up the entire time,
- 36:44Speaker 3: but there was never responsibility taken or like an actual
- 36:49Speaker 3: I'm sorry whatsoever.
- 36:52Speaker 1: Back to doctor Kendall, Crown's renowned medical examiner. When you
- 36:57Speaker 1: hear all of these diva to me from behind bars,
- 37:01Speaker 1: and we know an appeal is in the works, could
- 37:05Speaker 1: you again a reality check, give us a reality check
- 37:10Speaker 1: about what the victims cause of death or.
- 37:16Speaker 9: So the cause of deaths are blunt force injuries. All
- 37:19Speaker 9: these injuries, the skull fractures, the brain evulsion, the crushing
- 37:23Speaker 9: the chest, the explosion of their heart and lungs, liver,
- 37:26Speaker 9: even their intestines, all these combined together to make the
- 37:30Speaker 9: cause of death blunt force injuries. It's not a dramatic
- 37:33Speaker 9: cause of death, but it overlies the fact that they
- 37:36Speaker 9: have all these crushing injuries, fractures of the ribs, pelvis,
- 37:40Speaker 9: their legs, even their extremities, and then the crushing of
- 37:43Speaker 9: the head. So cause of death is blunt force injuries.
- 37:46Speaker 9: And when you listen to all her demands, you know,
- 37:48Speaker 9: she just kind of sounds sad to me, But that's
- 37:51Speaker 9: my opinion.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Sad. She sounds like a self entitled, spoiled brat who
- 37:58Speaker 1: cares nothing about the fact that she killed two people
- 38:01Speaker 1: and threatened she would kill the boyfriend ahead of time.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Mackenzie Shrilla is a camera hog, a real diva, and
- 38:11Speaker 1: she was only egged on by the Netflix documentary The Crash,
