Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / Mackenzie Shirilla and the Attention Machine Behind Netflix's 'The Crash'
Transcript
- 0:01So I watched the episode of Surviving the survivor where
- 0:06Joel had Kat Crowder on. She was a young woman who was
- 0:09imprisoned at the same place and during the same time frame as
- 0:15Mackenzie Chirilla, the young woman who was convicted of
- 0:20murdering her boyfriend, Dominic Russo and friend Davion
- 0:25Flanagan. And I didn't know that there was
- 0:31a new Netflix documentary series on this case.
- 0:36I don't know. I'm living in the dark.
- 0:38Actually. You know, what happened is we
- 0:39just got rid of Netflix. We got rid of Netflix a couple
- 0:42months ago. And I just didn't know about it.
- 0:45But after watching Cat On with Joel, I was like, OK, I got to
- 0:51watch this. So I had to sign up and watch
- 0:55Netflix. So starting about two hours ago,
- 1:03I spent about an hour and a half watching this documentary.
- 1:09Guys. OK, so we're going to we have to
- 1:12talk about this. We have to talk about the
- 1:14documentary. We have to talk about the case.
- 1:17I we, I don't want to, we got to, you know, that's like, yeah,
- 1:23we, we have to. And, and I put out a poll to see
- 1:28how many of you have seen the Netflix dock, the crash.
- 1:32And 45% of you so far are saying you saw it 57 or it's switching
- 1:38up. So 45 to 55, about 45% of you
- 1:42have seen the dock. So we're going to start out with
- 1:47the question of the day, OK? The question of the day is, if
- 1:53you've seen it, what did you think of it and who or what do
- 1:58you think is to blame for the death of Dominic and Davion?
- 2:02OK, I want you to, I want you to get your little fingers going
- 2:08and put it in the live chat, put it in the comments because this
- 2:12is what we're going to discuss today.
- 2:14Now we've got more than that to discuss as well.
- 2:16I mean, we're, we're definitely going to get in to, you know,
- 2:21more than just our thoughts about the doc series.
- 2:24We've got a couple articles to look at.
- 2:26We got a couple of videos from Cat Crowder to watch.
- 2:28Of course, we're going to get into three questions.
- 2:32We've got some updates in the Sander Birchmore case, the Amy
- 2:37Hilliard missing person case, the Krista Gilley murder.
- 2:42Of course, Sander Birchmore was murder too.
- 2:44We've got, so we've got all that to get over or to go over in
- 2:49headlines and we've got we've got some good news that we're
- 2:55going to get into that has to do with a pony because we can't
- 2:59just, we can't just be looking at bad news all the time, right?
- 3:03And if it has to do with a pony, it's definitely going to make us
- 3:07feel good. So we're going to end on that.
- 3:09And what do we have? We got 10 lbs of content to put
- 3:12into. No, not pounds.
- 3:14Gavin Harvey take 2. Harvey, We're going to have to
- 3:17edit that out. All right, thank you.
- 3:19I appreciate it. We got 10 gallons of content to
- 3:24put into a 5 gallon show. This video contains mature
- 3:42themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 3:45Viewer discretion is advised. You know, I'm not saying it was
- 3:51a bad doc. It it was a good doc.
- 3:53They did a good job and I appreciated that they did it as
- 3:57a documentary film. 90 minutes, not not a documentary series.
- 4:02It appears that the the series fad has has has completed
- 4:13itself. That trend is done.
- 4:15We're back to the to the movies. Hopefully, I hope so, because I,
- 4:19I'm kind of over the series thing, but I'm I'm not saying it
- 4:22was bad. In fact, it was very well done.
- 4:24I enjoyed it. It was well done.
- 4:27What I didn't enjoy is the case man, we have got two young men,
- 4:33Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan, who are dead.
- 4:40Their their story, at least in this mortal coil, is over.
- 4:49But it it seems to be overshadowed.
- 4:52Actually, you know the I'm, I'm not blaming the documentary film
- 4:56makers. They did a pretty darn good job,
- 4:59but but it seems that their lives are overshadowed by the
- 5:03life of Mackenzie Chirilla and and I think it's only because
- 5:08she was a cute girl. I honestly do is that she was an
- 5:12attractive young lady and everybody.
- 5:16And of course she was like 1718 year old.
- 5:19Don't come after me, guys. I say young lady for like 8 year
- 5:23olds. OK.
- 5:24I, I just it's a term I I don't know.
- 5:27I want them to feel good about themselves and grown up.
- 5:29But but OK, let's start this segment over.
- 5:32Javi, we're going to have to start the segment over.
- 5:34OK, Welcome back my friends to another true crime conversation
- 5:38with me. Gavin Fish, If you are into true
- 5:41crime but like to cut past all the fluff and sensationalism and
- 5:45get down to the nitty gritty, you have found the right place.
- 5:48Boy, I'm glad you did. And I want you, besides telling
- 5:54me the answer to the question of the day, which is who or what
- 6:00caused the death of Dominic and Davion in your opinion, tell me
- 6:06where you're tuning in from. That is something that I really,
- 6:08really enjoy. And if you want me to see your
- 6:13comment, put GF in the comment. Now, there's no need to make the
- 6:16same comment like 47 times, or even twice for that matter.
- 6:19I see him. I see him.
- 6:21They're all in yellow. Everything it so I can see it.
- 6:25OK. Boy, I appreciate you guys.
- 6:28Did you have a good long weekend, by the way?
- 6:31I feel like I've just watched an hour and a half documentary
- 6:34where I need a break. Oh my goodness, I need a break.
- 6:37Let's talk about this case, OK? These are just like the
- 6:41highlights of the case, OK? Dominic Russo, who was a few
- 6:47years older than Mackenzie Sharilla.
- 6:50They are a couple. They are a pair.
- 6:54They are children and seem to act like children, right?
- 7:01One of them seems to be a little more controlling than the other,
- 7:06a little more coercive than the other, maybe a little bit of a
- 7:11role reversal from what we're used to seeing.
- 7:14That person, I believe, was Mackenzie Chirilla.
- 7:17I think that she was extremely controlling of Dominic Russo.
- 7:23But the way the story goes is these there was a friend group.
- 7:29They liked to get high. I think that that Mackenzie was
- 7:34a mean girl. I think that she was a bully.
- 7:37I think that she got she was used to having her way.
- 7:41I think that her parents didn't parent her as much as they tried
- 7:45to be her friend and I think that was to her detriment.
- 7:48I think they still do that. This is just my opinion, right,
- 7:53Based on the stuff that I've seen in the case of the time.
- 7:58But after a couple of days of of kind of well, not a couple of
- 8:03days, these kids are constantly fighting, right?
- 8:07Well, one night they leave a house.
- 8:13It's actually one early morning. They leave a house where their
- 8:16friend group was gathered, where they're smoking pot and they
- 8:19were just hanging out doing stupid stuff like kids do.
- 8:24She gets behind the wheel and her boyfriend gets in the
- 8:30passenger seat. His friend or their friend
- 8:32Davion gets in the back seat and then she purposefully, you know,
- 8:39just makes a right hand turn. And then next thing you know,
- 8:42they're going 100 miles an hour and bang, crash into the corner
- 8:46of a commercial building, a brick building, which
- 8:50immediately kills Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan.
- 8:56They, they, their lives are just snatched from them.
- 9:03And Mackenzie Sharilla survives. She breaks some bones.
- 9:09She claims that she has no recollection of anything that
- 9:14happened, no idea. And claims that she has a
- 9:19condition where she it's called pots.
- 9:26It's a condition. What is pots?
- 9:28Let let me, let me just look it up.
- 9:30What is the condition known as POTS?
- 9:36It's postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, a chronic
- 9:43disorder of the autonomic nervous system, primarily causes
- 9:48an exaggerated rapid increase in heart rate and dizziness upon
- 9:51standing up. OK, it's it's a thing, but
- 9:55apparently she is diagnosed with it and and that's one of her
- 10:01defenses. I don't know what happened.
- 10:03I just don't know what happened. Of course, the oh, oh, I won't.
- 10:08I'm getting ahead of myself. All right.
- 10:11This is in Ohio. In Ohio, they can choose a bench
- 10:15trial, which means no jury. The judge is the judge of the
- 10:18facts and the law. Or a jury trial, where the judge
- 10:22is the judge of the law and the jury is the judge of the facts.
- 10:26She elects a bench trial. I don't know why any defense
- 10:31attorney in their right mind would choose a bench trial over
- 10:35a jury trial. It's way easier to convince one
- 10:37person than it is to convince many people.
- 10:40I don't I mean, I don't know. Did you guys ever do you
- 10:46remember the the podcast called What's Up, Doc?
- 10:48It was my buddy Gemma Delaney where she heard her podcast was
- 10:53simply reviewing documentaries. Documentaries is a great
- 10:57podcast. She stopped it in 2022.
- 11:00I wish she had enough. I should pick up and run with
- 11:03What's up Doc. No, I don't want to do that
- 11:07because I don't want to watch these documentaries.
- 11:10But anyway, this this defense attorney tells her to have a
- 11:14bench trial and she takes his advice to have a bench trial.
- 11:19And the judge is like, no, you obviously intended on doing
- 11:25this. You did not take your foot off
- 11:27the gas. You did not hit the brake.
- 11:29There was evidence that the car was put into neutral and then
- 11:33drive again. There was evidence that the
- 11:35steering wheel had been moved. You know, the so-called black
- 11:39box recorded all this. Her, I guess her supporters
- 11:47would say there's only 5 seconds of evidence of that black box
- 11:51and you convicted somebody on five seconds of evidence.
- 11:54But that is also not true. There's tons of other digital
- 11:58evidence, tons of other digital evidence.
- 12:02Anywho, she is she is convicted and she is given 2 concurrent 15
- 12:11year to life sentences for the murder of Dominic Russo, the
- 12:15young man that she claimed to love and Davion Flanagan.
- 12:22By the way, since we're talking about the documentary, I was
- 12:28really impressed. This is horrible of me, guys.
- 12:34This is horrible me. I was not impressed with
- 12:37Mackenzie's parents. I thought they were dill holes.
- 12:40I thought I thought like like you were the mean people in high
- 12:46school and you decided that that was fun.
- 12:48You didn't grow up and go, I see the error of my ways.
- 12:51When I was a child, I was a jerk.
- 12:55Instead, you're like, remember the glory days and you raised
- 13:00one just like it. That's what that's what it felt
- 13:02like to me. Now Davion and his siblings were
- 13:08adopted and that family just seemed like like they had it
- 13:14together, like they had a son that was kind of kind of fell
- 13:19into the wrong crowd and they were trying to convince him not
- 13:22I, I mean, they had it together. Dominic's family.
- 13:28No, same kind of thing for me. They were, they were raising a
- 13:32child, a man child and he was, he was probably a good kid.
- 13:35They were, they all probably at the heart were good kids and and
- 13:38they would have grown out of it. Hopefully.
- 13:40I, I don't think Mackenzie ever would have grown out of it, but
- 13:46yeah, just fascinating. In fact, Dominic's family, his
- 13:51dad and sister full on were in support of Mackenzie until they
- 13:55started seeing the evidence at the trial.
- 13:57Then they're like, you know, it was just just crazy.
- 14:08OK, I go on and on, but let's see what you guys are saying
- 14:11over here real quick. We'll keep our victims up, Robin
- 14:17says. My daughter watched the Netflix
- 14:18show about this. She said it was really good, but
- 14:20not good, obviously. Exactly, exactly.
- 14:25Keep on scrolling down. Austin, TX is in the house.
- 14:28Mischievous dragon. It's very good to see you.
- 14:30Thank you very much. Idaho is here.
- 14:32Thank you. North Carolina is here.
- 14:37Let's see. Hickory, NC is here.
- 14:40Diana's saying she's not signed up for Netflix.
- 14:42Yeah, I, I did the temporary thing so that I could see it
- 14:48cold. Aquarius says they left too much
- 14:50out of the new doc. McKenzie is guilty.
- 14:53Guilty, I say. I, I think so.
- 14:55I I think she's. She murdered those boys for
- 14:57sure. Let's see, Kevin is 100%
- 15:05responsible, and her parents are.
- 15:07I think you meant Kenzie, right? Kenzie is, Yes.
- 15:11Yeah. Yeah.
- 15:11Wendy, not Kevin McKenzie. Kenzie is is a responsible.
- 15:16Thank you very much. I don't know who this Kevin
- 15:20character is, but I don't like him one bit.
- 15:24Scotch's mom says I've seen the crash and McKenzie is totally to
- 15:28blame for the crash. Hope Ate Fear says that's a deep
- 15:33question. Gavin, on the surface, her
- 15:35fault, but the roots run deep in this case.
- 15:38I Well said. Well said.
- 15:43A magical Oh, we've got a magician in the house,
- 15:46everybody. She's a witch.
- 15:49Awesome, a magical Mary says. I did see it.
- 15:52In my opinion, Mackenzie is to blame in full.
- 15:55Her parents have some issues as well, and I take her upbringing
- 15:59into account. Personally, I think she should
- 16:01have gotten life without the possibility of parole.
- 16:04Yeah, she was given the minimum, which is the judge had two
- 16:10choices according to the documentary, either 15 years to
- 16:13life or 30 years to life. She chose 15 to life.
- 16:18Maybe she was extending a little Mercy going.
- 16:21This is a kid. She's 17 years old.
- 16:24She's definitionally stupid. You know, that kind of stuff.
- 16:28I don't know, Let's bring Davion back up here.
- 16:32But I hope she is not paroled for a very good long time.
- 16:36She, she was a kid and she was definitionally stupid and then
- 16:41she was raised poorly, in my opinion.
- 16:44And listen, I'm willing to extend grace because there's no
- 16:48like, like parenting is a hard thing, especially if you are a
- 16:54man, woman and man child, man or I'm sorry, a woman child and man
- 16:59child, right. If you never grew up yourself,
- 17:02which I'm not sure they did or not, but my goodness.
- 17:08OK, Ivan one love says Gavin. I saw it.
- 17:11And you feel she is 100% responsible for their deaths.
- 17:15She shows no remorse for them, only for herself.
- 17:18Her attorney being there says a lot.
- 17:19Yeah, there there are moments in this documentary where she comes
- 17:24on and she full on just stays with her defense.
- 17:28I don't remember. It's it's not in my character to
- 17:30murder somebody. I I didn't do it.
- 17:33It's just not my character to do it.
- 17:35Is there is there anything else, Mr. Attorney, off to the side
- 17:38that I should mention? No.
- 17:39OK, I'm good. All right.
- 17:40I'm good. Want everybody to know I didn't
- 17:43do it. Why?
- 17:44Well, I don't remember. And it's just not my character
- 17:48to do that. But have you looked like, guys,
- 17:52I'm sorry to do this. I am.
- 17:54I'm sorry to do this. But this is this is her
- 18:01Instagram account. OK, this I think this is a photo
- 18:06of her from prison. It was posted February 3rd,
- 18:13right? That is what she looks like in
- 18:16prison. She's got her hair all done out.
- 18:21She's got a little blow out going on.
- 18:23She's got some feathers, some Farrah Fawcett in her hair, a
- 18:25little bit there. Her eyebrow perfection.
- 18:28She's got some lip liner. I like the full make up in
- 18:33prison. Like it's like she doesn't.
- 18:37Tone deafness is her issue right now.
- 18:40This is the post that she posted after like this September 24th,
- 18:452022. I just don't understand why this
- 18:49had to happen, she says as she posts things on the birthday of
- 18:56Dominic Russo. Right posting these kinds of
- 19:00pictures like tone deaf much? Don't know why this had to
- 19:06happen. I, I can figure it out.
- 19:10It had to happen because you decided to run your boyfriend
- 19:14and friend into a wall and kill them.
- 19:16That's why it had to happen. But if you, if you scroll
- 19:20through her Instagram account, this is of a 16 and 17 year old
- 19:23child. This is the kind of stuff that a
- 19:2616 and 17 year old child is constantly posting on Instagram.
- 19:31And look, if my daughter were posting this, I would have big
- 19:38problems. There would be big, big
- 19:41problems. This is just, yeah, this is an
- 19:45attention seeking person from the time.
- 19:47She's a little girl and she's getting it.
- 19:51And she's gotten, it's appears to me that she's gotten it her
- 19:55whole life. Just.
- 19:58It's just it's too much, man. It's too much.
- 20:02So, yeah, her attorney being there does say a lot.
- 20:05Thank you very much. Montana Sunshine from Montana
- 20:09says I have no interest in watching.
- 20:10You know what? You're a better person than I
- 20:13am. Clearwater, FL in the house.
- 20:19Thank you for being here. Massachusetts is here, Barb
- 20:24says. I don't know anything about the
- 20:26case. Was she a teen who drove her
- 20:27vehicle into a brick wall on purpose to kill them?
- 20:29That is the one, yes. Tuning in from North Dakota,
- 20:34Julia, thank you very much. Montana Sunshine says, from
- 20:38everything I've seen, the texts that have been read, she did not
- 20:41care about Dom. She just used him.
- 20:42I feel the same way. We're going to talk about that
- 20:45coming up. Let's see, Patricia says.
- 20:50I think she's just very manipulative with her parents,
- 20:53just as she is in other parts of her life.
- 20:54She's a despicable brat. She feels that way to me as
- 20:58well. But I think that her parents
- 21:00have enabled her. I really do.
- 21:05Magical Mary says she wasn't diagnosed with POTS.
- 21:07No proof of it. Yeah.
- 21:09That was one of the interesting things in the trial.
- 21:11According to the documentary, the only person whoever said she
- 21:14had POTS was her mom. She said she was diagnosed in
- 21:182017. But on cross, they're like, and
- 21:21you let her get a driver's license?
- 21:22I thought it was under control. You didn't have any concern
- 21:26about this? I thought it was under control.
- 21:30No medical doctor, no clinician, no physician, you know,
- 21:39testified. Let's see.
- 21:44Yeah. Orange chicken.
- 21:45However, she said getting her license, no medical issues.
- 21:48Parents signed off on it. Yep, Laura says the key to POTS
- 21:53diagnosis is you get dizzy when you stand up.
- 21:55I too have been diagnosed with POTS but I do not recall once
- 21:58standing up while driving. What a terrific comment.
- 22:06You've never done that? You've never stood up while
- 22:08driving? I have, but it was on a
- 22:13motorcycle and it's many times that while, but I I think that's
- 22:18standing up while operating, not standing up while driving.
- 22:21They are Elizabeth, they are dill holes, all of them.
- 22:24Not the victims, of course, Mamma Mia says.
- 22:30Can you imagine the fear in those boys in those last
- 22:32seconds? So sad.
- 22:33I know, I know. And I bet those last seconds
- 22:38lasted forever, right? The the fear, yes.
- 22:46And this comment, the lethargophrea says Dom dealt
- 22:54drugs so he was going down the wrong path.
- 22:55Besides having a crazed girlfriend.
- 22:58Yeah, that was in the documentary as well.
- 23:03Talked about buying pot off a Dom and the mushrooms and so
- 23:06forth. Ganja girl Hey from Dirty Jersey
- 23:10glad you are here. Jacksonville, FL is in the
- 23:12house. Thank you.
- 23:15Wendy says I'm in North Carolina I have seen the crash in my and
- 23:18in my opinion she is exactly where she should be and I feel
- 23:21that her her parents should be in there with her.
- 23:25Miss B children are product of their parents and this girl is a
- 23:28prime example. I, I take credit for our
- 23:34children, but as soon as they change and become horrible
- 23:39people, I, I don't take credit for them.
- 23:40I will not take the blame. I will only take the credit.
- 23:44Raising children is tough, but in in this particular case, like
- 23:50there, there are plenty of people that were good people who
- 23:52had bad children. Plenty of good children who had
- 23:55bad parents too. Both things are true in this
- 23:58case. I feel like she was a product of
- 24:01of how she was being raised. Ganja girl says these phone
- 24:06calls are disgusting and can clearly see where she got it
- 24:09from. Mom delusional and no remorse.
- 24:14Barb Olsen says was she recently sentenced?
- 24:16Why is there so much talk about her Barb?
- 24:18It's because of the documentary that came out earlier this year.
- 24:22I think it was just in March just a couple months ago.
- 24:25Her appeal was her first appeal was denied and and then this
- 24:31documentary just came out about a week ago and that's why we're
- 24:35talking about it. Magical Mary.
- 24:37Her parents allowing her to move in with Dom at 17 years old is
- 24:41just wrong as well. Yeah, and he was 20 at the time.
- 24:45I agree. Evidentures.
- 24:50That's cute evidentures. I like it.
- 24:53Have you listened to any of her phone calls with her mom post
- 24:55conviction? Mom has definitely not grown up
- 24:58yet. I've just listened to the ones
- 25:00that were played in the documentary.
- 25:01And yeah. Diane Faris Davion was one of
- 25:05three adopted siblings. Yes.
- 25:07And and it says that in the documentary.
- 25:10They are adopted out of the foster care system and to the
- 25:13Flanagan household. And Davion had dreams of being a
- 25:17Barber. I thought that it was beautiful
- 25:20that they have created a charity to give.
- 25:25What are those called? What?
- 25:30Why am I blanking on that? Yeah, basically to give money to
- 25:35to students who want to become barbers.
- 25:38Right. Wow.
- 25:40Scholarship, man, that took me a minute.
- 25:42That took me a minute. But yeah, they've established
- 25:44scholarships to in Davion's name.
- 25:47I his dad, who participated in the documentary.
- 25:51His mom did not. His dad said the Davion may not
- 25:56be here, but he may not be participating.
- 26:02I can't remember exactly how he said it, but it was like, he may
- 26:04not be participating in this life, but his memory definitely
- 26:07is. And it's pretty good.
- 26:11Yeah. Apparently she glams in prison
- 26:13every single day. That's.
- 26:15Yeah, that's what I'm. That's what I'm understanding,
- 26:17Gavin. She makes herself look better in
- 26:19prison than out here in the real world.
- 26:21Sometimes something's wrong with that picture.
- 26:24Yep. She would still be making money
- 26:25on the views. She might.
- 26:30Yeah. Because after his death she was
- 26:35talking to sponsorships and brands and stuff like that.
- 26:38It's crazy. Crazy.
- 26:44Dom's sister has started a petition so she can't get
- 26:47financial gain from social media.
- 26:49Yep, her dad was put on administrative leave at the
- 26:52diocese school. That it works out.
- 26:54I understand that as well. Wondering why judge gave
- 26:57concurrent sentences instead of consecutive with her comments.
- 27:01I think the judge was being merciful.
- 27:05I really do, and I don't know why they do.
- 27:09Christine, welcome from from rainy Georgia.
- 27:15Maybe she is a bit language challenged and meant to say I
- 27:18have pot Freda, that's good. Yes, Carly, I understand that as
- 27:24well. Bobby McRae, says Gavin.
- 27:29I believe she had shrooms in her system also.
- 27:32She did not, according to the prosecutor, she had shrooms on
- 27:36her in the car in her backpack, but she did not they, they sent
- 27:42her blood off to be tested out of state.
- 27:45And there was no silo Sylvan Silo Sylvan psilocybin, Boo.
- 27:52No psilocybin in her blood, so no, she wasn't.
- 27:56But continuing your comment, there's also text between her
- 28:00and her father asking him to bring her warm milk a number of
- 28:02times because it helps coming down off them.
- 28:06OK, yeah, my understanding is she just had THC the way Hope
- 28:12ate, Fear said. So I mean.
- 28:19I mean, I, I would be here giggling, laughing about the
- 28:22whole thing, except that two young men are dead, right?
- 28:26There's nothing funny about that.
- 28:28Nothing funny at all about that. But she's such a dill hole and
- 28:33her parents are too. There's just nothing to do but
- 28:35laugh at them. I, I can't believe the way that
- 28:40they behave. I just, I just cannot believe
- 28:44it. OK, let's go.
- 28:48Let me look at my my thing. I want to take you over to come
- 28:52with me over here to this article from the New York Post.
- 28:58We are going to get to the videos, by the way.
- 29:00So our plan here, we're going to we're going to read a couple
- 29:02articles, this one from the New York Post, another one from TMZ.
- 29:05Then we're going to get to a couple of articles from Cat.
- 29:09Not a couple of articles, a couple of videos from Cat
- 29:11Crowder. Kat Crowder has a YouTube
- 29:14channel that is just starting out.
- 29:16Looks like she has maybe less than 10,000 subscribers.
- 29:19It's called Bougie Behind Bars. I have linked to it in the
- 29:23description down below. We're going to watch a couple of
- 29:24her short videos. She was in prison at the same
- 29:30prison at the same time as Mackenzie Chirilla.
- 29:36And the reason I went down this rabbit hole in the 1st place was
- 29:40she was on with Joel on surviving the survivor thought
- 29:45about reaching out and inviting her.
- 29:47I'm just, I'm just not a guest channel.
- 29:49I'm, I'm more of a blathering, blabbing channel.
- 29:53So I decided it would be cool to talk to her, I guess, but I
- 29:57decided not to. We're going to watch her videos
- 29:59though. Then we'll get into three
- 30:00questions. We'll get into some more
- 30:02headlines and wrap it up with some good news.
- 30:05So join me if you will over here on Acrobat.
- 30:10Push the right button. Javi's been teaching me all the
- 30:12right buttons to push this. Written by Georgia Worrell for
- 30:18the New York Post. This came out yesterday.
- 30:20Mackenzie Chirilla boasted about sickening a prison nickname
- 30:24after she killed two people in crash.
- 30:26Jailhouse lover reveals Helen Wheels murderer Mackenzie
- 30:33Chirilla of course is the New York Post so they have to have
- 30:36these stupid kitschy ways of writing it.
- 30:40Whatever. OK, hell on Wheels murderer
- 30:43Mackenzie Chirilla boasted about being given a twisted nickname
- 30:47in her all women lockup ex prison or her prison
- 30:51ex-girlfriend claimed quote. We started talking and she told
- 30:55me her nickname was Chirilla the Killa.
- 30:58Like that's what her bunk mates called her, former Ohio
- 31:03Reformatory for Women inmate Cheyenne Topping told the US
- 31:06son. Topping, 27, told the outlet she
- 31:09dated the 21 year old convicted double murderer for a couple of
- 31:12weeks behind bars where Sharilla was a very demanding girlfriend.
- 31:19Hold on, there we go. Quote.
- 31:21If we did argue, it's because I didn't come outside on time, the
- 31:24woman said, explaining that the duo would often get intimate in
- 31:27the prison yard. Quote And she's like, I was
- 31:30waiting for you. Where were you?
- 31:32Like, if this is how it's going to go, I just won't talk to you.
- 31:35Topping said. This is very much the kind of
- 31:40coercion that the documentary illustrated through text
- 31:47messages and recordings and so forth that she had with Dominic.
- 31:52Continuing the article, the lesbian love affair was cut
- 31:55short when Topping was released from her prison sentence just
- 31:58two weeks after they met, devastating Sharilla, who she
- 32:01claimed professed her love quote.
- 32:03Mackenzie was upset that I was leaving.
- 32:05She would tell me all the time. I wish we met sooner before you
- 32:08were about to get out. I wish you would have talked
- 32:11before this, the former inmate said.
- 32:14Topping also claimed Chirilla, who is convicted of
- 32:17intentionally crashing her car and killing her boyfriend and
- 32:20friend in 2022, talked about what their relationship would
- 32:23look like outside prison and shared many other grand plans
- 32:27for the future. Quote she said she takes 2
- 32:30hobby. She said she was just going to
- 32:34live it up if she gets out, Topping told The Sun.
- 32:36Like she's going to go back to concerts, she's going to travel,
- 32:40she's going to be an influencer and write a book when she gets
- 32:42out about everything that happened.
- 32:44She said it might take some time, but she's going to get out
- 32:47and live it again, The former inmate said.
- 32:51In the meantime, Chirilla appeared pretty and bubbly
- 32:55behind bars and sported a popular girl aura, according to
- 32:59Topping and a second former inmate, Mary Catherine Crowder.
- 33:05That is Cat, when I was in there with her, you'd look at her and
- 33:09she had her makeup done every day.
- 33:10She was very well put together, almost like preppy.
- 33:12Crowder, who served about six months alongside Sharilla,
- 33:16previously told The Post. Quote, everyone knew why she was
- 33:20there and she walked around like she was this famous person
- 33:22within prison, Crowder said. She always had makeup done, hair
- 33:26done, her clothes were altered to fit her body tighter or be
- 33:30different. Quote, she definitely carried
- 33:32herself like she was the Regina George of prison.
- 33:36She was very much like an It girl.
- 33:38She recalled referencing the Mean Girls clique leader.
- 33:42So yeah, always bubbly, smiley, happy, line dancing every
- 33:45Friday. I've never seen her sad,
- 33:47honestly, Topping said. So she apparently is living it
- 33:52up in prison just just as happy as can be.
- 33:59Now. That was reported yesterday.
- 34:02Today reported out of TMZ. This is a short article written
- 34:08by TMZ staff. Mackenzie Chirilla had quote so
- 34:12much hate. close quote in text sent before fatal crash
- 34:16Mackenzie Chirilla and Dominic Russo's relationship was
- 34:19unraveling in the days before the deadly crash, according to
- 34:23text messages obtained by TMZ. The heated messages exchanged by
- 34:29the couple roughly a week a week before the accident which the
- 34:35accident it's not an accident, but the crash, let's say, which
- 34:39ultimately claimed Dom's life show the couple locked in an
- 34:43emotional argument surrounding Dom needing some space from
- 34:47McKenzie. In one exchange, McKenzie tells
- 34:49Dom that she has Quote so much hate close quote and claims it
- 34:54stems from everything he put her through without getting
- 34:56specific. Dom responds by begging her to
- 34:59stop and explains his grandparents are in town for
- 35:02only a couple of days and and just wants to be able to enjoy
- 35:05enjoy his time with them. But Mackenzie claps back and
- 35:08says maybe you shouldn't have been an effing D.
- 35:15The newly resurfaced texts are reigniting public debates
- 35:18surrounding Mackenzie state of mind in the days leading up to
- 35:21the crash. As previously reported, McKenzie
- 35:24was arrested and ultimately convicted in connection with the
- 35:272022 high speed crash that killed Dominic Russo and their
- 35:31friend Davion Flanagan after prosecutors argued the collision
- 35:35was intentional. This is reminding me about a
- 35:37scene in the in the dock where she was arrested and basically I
- 35:44think her mom must have been driving and she was in the
- 35:47passenger seat, something like that.
- 35:49And they were pulled over and then a bunch of cop cars get
- 35:52there. They basically overwhelm her
- 35:57with the presence of law enforcement, take her into
- 36:00custody and say you're under the arrest.
- 36:01You're under arrest for the murder of Dominic and Davion.
- 36:07The parents full on complain about the way she was arrested.
- 36:12What, you got to have nine cops there?
- 36:17That's the dumbest complaint ever.
- 36:19Like yes guys, when when cops are going to arrest a murderer
- 36:26they will use overwhelming presence.
- 36:30The person is an accused murderer.
- 36:37They want to keep themselves and other people safe, so that's
- 36:40what they do. The parents are like, oh, Can
- 36:43you imagine? Can you believe it that they
- 36:45came after her with 9 police officers and pulled us over and
- 36:49surrounded us? Yeah, I can believe it.
- 36:52What are you complaining about? It's the dumbest complaint ever.
- 36:57Why are people so stupid? You know, Gavin, Gavin needs to
- 37:02repent. Gavin needs an Uncle Gavin
- 37:05moment. Uncle Gavin needs to talk to
- 37:07Gavin. This morning, my wife, who is
- 37:10reading a book right now, and I can't remember the author, she
- 37:15shared a quote with me which I can't remember.
- 37:18You know, I can't remember it exactly, but it was basically it
- 37:24basically said that every person is superior to you in some way.
- 37:30The idea being be wise, learn from other people, right?
- 37:34Even the people that you don't think you know, have anything
- 37:39that you can learn from anything to teach you, they're superior
- 37:43to you in some way. So I'm trying to remember that
- 37:47these people who you think are total Dumas, total dill holes,
- 37:52they're superior to you in some way.
- 37:54And it, and it's true, they, they are in some way, but my
- 37:57goodness, OK, let's see, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 38:05blah. Yeah.
- 38:08As previously reported, McKenzie was arrested, ultimately
- 38:11convicted in connection with the 2022 high speed crash that
- 38:14killed Dominic Russo. Oh, guys, I hate it when I yawn.
- 38:21Sorry. And their friend Davion
- 38:24Flanagan. After prosecutors argued the
- 38:25collision was intentional, her defense team maintained it was a
- 38:29tragic accident, and Mackenzie told cameras during the Netflix
- 38:33documentary The Crash that the only logical explanation for the
- 38:37fatal incident would have been that she experienced a medical
- 38:40emergency. Next hearing is in 2037.
- 38:46And she said it with a straight face.
- 38:49It's a medical emergency. I, it's not my character.
- 38:52Those are the words she used, not my character.
- 38:56I would not have done that. I don't remember.
- 38:59It must have been a medical emergency that I slammed,
- 39:04slammed my foot to the floor, navigated an S turn, and drove
- 39:10into a wall where only the half of the car where the boys are in
- 39:16actually made impact. That had to be a medical
- 39:21emergency. So freaking dumb.
- 39:24All right, I'm going to bring her picture up here, not because
- 39:27I want to look at her, but because I didn't, I didn't I
- 39:33should have prepared a a graphic with both of them, with both of
- 39:38our victims, Angela host says. Didn't the judge also say that
- 39:42she didn't feel she would ever get out?
- 39:44I think she did say that, yes. Mel's mom, not M Littles says
- 39:51supposedly her younger sister doesn't want anything to do with
- 39:54the parents or her. I hadn't heard that Skippy 4189,
- 39:59says Gavin. It was good.
- 40:00She didn't have any shrooms in her system.
- 40:02It made the investigators dig deeper into the vehicle data to
- 40:05get to the truth. Yeah, because that's.
- 40:07You're right. You're right.
- 40:08Skippy 4189. There were 4188 other Skippy's.
- 40:13So you got it. I understand you have to get
- 40:164189. It's cool.
- 40:17But yeah, like he did explain. OK, what could explain this
- 40:22crash? Was it intoxication?
- 40:25Was it some sort of accident? Was it a medical emergency?
- 40:28Did her fuzzy slipper accidentally get caught down?
- 40:33You know, did it, did it accidentally catch the gas pedal
- 40:38and get stuck? Or, you know, something like
- 40:40that? So, yeah, by the way, I mean,
- 40:49what would guys, what would you do in this situation?
- 40:51And I think, I think Dominic tried and Davion tried.
- 40:55They were just unsuccessful. But what do you do in the
- 40:58situation where you're a passenger and somebody's driving
- 41:01100 miles an hour? And let's say in this scenario
- 41:05saying I'm going to crash us into a wall and we're going to
- 41:07die. We're all going to die on this
- 41:10maybe, right? Yeah, getting the car into
- 41:14neutral is a good idea. Just putting the car in a
- 41:17neutral is a very, very good idea.
- 41:19Also. Also, and I'm not this is not
- 41:22victim blaming because we don't know what they did.
- 41:26They, they, they probably were trying to save their own lives.
- 41:30I'm just saying what happens if one of us gets into the same
- 41:34situation, right? Neutral is a good place to
- 41:39start. They tried it.
- 41:40We know that well, I suspect it because the the lever went into
- 41:45neutral and then back into drive.
- 41:48But she was like an 85 LB girl all day long.
- 41:53I in that situation, I'm I'm perfectly OK with knocking a
- 41:59girl out. I full on, I full on am Now
- 42:04we've got to recognize that I think Dom was like full on being
- 42:10coerced by her all the time. She had him so controlled.
- 42:15So, so again, this is not a, this is not a victim blaming
- 42:19thing. And I think that they've tried
- 42:21as hard as they could and they all had THC in their body.
- 42:25Who knows how high they were? I don't know.
- 42:28But well, I don't know that they had THC in their blood, but I,
- 42:32but the friends said that they were smoking pot and stuff like
- 42:35that. So, you know, what was their
- 42:39ability to stop it? It was probably diminished,
- 42:43right? But in this kind of situation,
- 42:46you're the passenger or I'm the passenger in a car where
- 42:49somebody's saying I'm going to wreck us and they're they're
- 42:51getting up into higher speeds and so forth.
- 42:54Perfectly OK to knock a driver out.
- 42:59Perfectly OK, put it in a neutral and start punching, man.
- 43:03I'm telling you, they will, they will need to defend themselves.
- 43:09Their, their instinct to defend themselves will overpower their
- 43:12need to run you into a wall. We, we got to learn from this
- 43:17stuff. We got to learn from this stuff
- 43:19wherever in this situation, right?
- 43:23And I don't know that this is even all that helpful because
- 43:26you really only do what you train.
- 43:28And who's going to train for this?
- 43:31Like, our, our instincts are are super powerful.
- 43:35So how do you train for something like this?
- 43:37I don't even know. But yeah, I'm talking myself out
- 43:42of this, but you know what I mean?
- 43:43Like, we got to learn something from this.
- 43:46These poor kids, man. Also, listen.
- 43:51No, no, I'm. I'm holding myself back.
- 43:54Uncle Gavin is restraining Gavin right now.
- 43:56Totally cool. Let's see.
- 43:58What else? Malevolent Queen.
- 44:02Malevolent queen 03. There are two others.
- 44:06All right, Gavin, Didn't they lose the first blood samples and
- 44:10test blood draw one to two days later?
- 44:14I don't remember that detail. I'm not sure, Skippy says.
- 44:19Gavin, did you notice she pretended to have some kind of
- 44:22bad girl accent when she was interviewed from the prison?
- 44:25Yes, I did. I noticed that right away.
- 44:28And thank you for bringing that up.
- 44:31Yeah, she was. She was speaking as if she was
- 44:34some kind of hardened criminal. Some, you know, prison had
- 44:38hardened her with her messy bun and her perfect makeup.
- 44:42Yeah, so dumb. So dumb.
- 44:46Keep on scrolling. Free to people, Gavin.
- 44:51I guess it's not in my character as a defense for everyone, but a
- 44:54serial killer, that is. That is good.
- 45:01Yeah, she was. She was speaking pretty gangsta.
- 45:05That is true. Hey, John, Jenny needs to be
- 45:11banned. Mods, will you do that for me,
- 45:15please? I would appreciate that.
- 45:23Let me see if I can do that. I'm going to end this poll.
- 45:28We're done with that. And yeah, thank you.
- 45:35Thank you for deleting that. Robin, go ahead and ban.
- 45:47All right, there we go. OK, let me go back to what I
- 45:52prepared. OK, All right, so now we come to
- 45:56the segment where we are going to actually watch a couple of
- 45:59videos. OK, Now once again, these are
- 46:03videos from Cat Crowder. Let me bring it up here.
- 46:13I think this one is this one's 6 1/2 minutes and the other one is
- 46:17about 3 minutes, 45 seconds. So it's not super long.
- 46:22But this is a person who for about 6 months was in prison
- 46:26with with Mackenzie Chirilla. Let's see what she has.
- 46:32And there's a link by the way, to her to her channel in the
- 46:36description below. I don't know what her plan is.
- 46:38She's a growing channel. I don't know what her plan is
- 46:41for YouTube, but I'd like to support other creators if
- 46:44they're making good content, definitely want to be
- 46:47supportive. So let's go ahead and start with
- 46:51this one. I did bring it down to six DB
- 46:54down, which is about what I live stream in so it shouldn't blast
- 46:58your ears, but headphone warning here, we're going to begin in
- 47:013/2. So my name is Kat and if you
- 47:05don't know, I was in prison with Mackenzie Chirilla.
- 47:08Don't believe me? Hold on, I got you.
- 47:10Let's Fact Check. So we got Miss Chirilla here.
- 47:13Institution Ohio Reform Church for Women and mission date
- 47:17August 31st, 2023. Okay, now we have me Institution
- 47:22Ohio Reformatory for Women and Mission Day, April 10th, 2024.
- 47:25All right, not that clear. Let's talk about the documentary
- 47:29that just came out on Netflix, The Crash about Mackenzie,
- 47:33because Oh my God do I have some shit to say.
- 47:37Foremost, I want to shout out Netflix for making it and
- 47:41filming it in a way that is very, very evident to make
- 47:45Mackenzie and her family look like complete dumb.
- 47:48When I was in prison with her, it was at the beginning of her
- 47:52sentence and the Mackenzie that came on to the Netflix was not
- 47:57the same Mackenzie that I witnessed in prison.
- 48:00I am so glad that they made sure to throw that clip in there that
- 48:04shows her lawyer was there with her because that's the only
- 48:07reason Mackenzie even went on Netflix was one because she
- 48:10thrived for fame even while I was in prison with her.
- 48:13She thought that she was going to be the Princess of the
- 48:15prison, and she also went on there thinking that it.
- 48:19Of the prison so I stole that for the title today I totally
- 48:23ripped that off from bougie behind bars that is cat
- 48:27Crowder's thing and I don't want to take credit for it it's.
- 48:31Going to help her with another appeal that's going to get
- 48:34denied. We understand that, correct?
- 48:36Let me tell you something, Mackenzie Chirilla did not walk
- 48:39around that prison yard with an ounce of remorse.
- 48:42Mackenzie Chirilla did not walk around that prison yard thinking
- 48:47about those lost loved ones that she claimed to think about every
- 48:51single day. Mackenzie Chirilla walked around
- 48:53prison thinking how is she going to get in with the cool kids
- 48:57which in prison Mackenzie Chirilla did not relate to them
- 49:01at all. But as you can see by this new
- 49:05Mackenzie Chirilla that just popped on the Netflix
- 49:07documentary, she's really trying hard.
- 49:10She maybe had she's had to get harder.
- 49:13She doesn't even talk the same. The way that she talked in this
- 49:17documentary is not even how her voice sounds.
- 49:20I'm just being honest. She's got a rasp to her voice.
- 49:24And that might be because in there she's starting to do rugs,
- 49:27which I've heard through the Grapevine and other inmates that
- 49:30she is, which it is what it is bound to happen.
- 49:33You're in there for life. When I was in there with
- 49:35Mackenzie, all she cared about was doing her makeup, walking
- 49:38the yard with her one or two friends that were also very
- 49:42similar to her young girls. Social media influencer wannabes
- 49:46thinking that it was a high school like popularity contest
- 49:50now in the document. By the way, there are people
- 49:52like guys, I was talking to Kimberly about this, right?
- 49:57Kimberly, if you guys don't know, is my snuggly bear, my
- 49:59sweetie pie, my one and only my wife of 26 plus years.
- 50:05You know, there are people that peak in high school.
- 50:11They they peak, they, they reach their peak of popularity and
- 50:15importance and self importance in high school.
- 50:18And then they hold on to that for the rest of their lives.
- 50:21And then unfortunately, sometimes those people have
- 50:24children and they're, they're like the Al Bundy's.
- 50:29I played football, I played high school football.
- 50:31They're, they're that kind of person, right?
- 50:34And, and, and that's as far as they go.
- 50:39And they apparently procreate and create the exact same kind
- 50:43of person. She's now in prison.
- 50:46And according to Kat, she's, she's trying to be popular
- 50:50again, right? That's it's it's and listen, I'm
- 50:56a guy that enjoyed high school and, and think about it a lot.
- 51:00I enjoyed it a lot. That's that's not what I'm
- 51:02saying. I'm not I'm not bagging on
- 51:05anybody who had a good time in high school.
- 51:07I'm saying the people that peaked there, right, OK.
- 51:11You can tell because it's been a couple years by now.
- 51:14You can see she's been broken down, can see that she's, she
- 51:18was starting to hang out with the lifers, which are more, I
- 51:21don't want to say institutionalized, but yeah,
- 51:23institutionalized and like harder, I guess you could say,
- 51:26and clicked up with each other and you can tell just by the
- 51:29looks. And I hate to be like, whatever,
- 51:31but as somebody who was in prison and in prison with her,
- 51:36you can tell Mackenzie's story when she was in like when I was
- 51:39in prison with her, was that she was high on shrooms when.
- 51:47This accident. Occurred and they had never came
- 51:51out in any documents that I had been that she had gotten her
- 51:55blood tested for the shrooms because it's hard to test for a
- 51:59lot of states don't. They showed in this documentary
- 52:03that they sent it to an out of state lab to get tested and
- 52:06there was only THC found. So now my girl, I already knew
- 52:13that you were lying, but now it's like you're just making up
- 52:15a huge story with no evidence even trying to back you up so
- 52:19you look even more guilty. You don't care like that you
- 52:23took these like she walked around, never saw her cry.
- 52:26Are you kidding me? If I was in there, she walks
- 52:28around thinking she's going to get out.
- 52:30Now like I said in this documentary, after her appeals
- 52:33getting denied and stuff, I think it's kind of dawning on
- 52:36her and that baby girl. You're finna sit down.
- 52:40You better get in where you fit in Thrilla and Dom.
- 52:44And if you think Mackenzie going to prison was the end of her
- 52:48being in toxic relationships, let me tell you something.
- 52:50She was in like 4 in the short span that I was in there with
- 52:53her inside the prison walls. She thrives for that.
- 52:56She lives for that. And her mom.
- 52:59I'm sorry Mackenzie was like full-fledged old enough to know
- 53:02what she did. But her bozo ass parents fed
- 53:06into this 100% and in prison Mackenzie's batch.
- 53:11Crazy mother was funding her prison lifestyle and making it
- 53:17as comfortable as possible. Mackenzie had everything you can
- 53:19imagine inside prison and more. All the makeup, all the like
- 53:23limited item stuff that like you have to buy cash out this, cash
- 53:27out that. Mackenzie had it.
- 53:28Her mom enables her, her family enables her like no other.
- 53:31They see no wrong. They're delusional and Mackenzie
- 53:35has to get it from them. And then the saddest part of it
- 53:38all, which is already evident, it's like, of course, course
- 53:43Dominic and of course Damian, both of them.
- 53:47And if you notice, and I can say this as a mom myself, the
- 53:51mothers of either one of them like refuse to be on any of
- 53:55these. But Mackenzie's mother never
- 53:58turns an eye to a chance to be on social media, on a podcast,
- 54:03on a documentary when it comes to Shirla because she could care
- 54:07less about those victims. The Kenzie's going to have a
- 54:10hard life. They don't have any air
- 54:11conditioning in prison and no RW.
- 54:13It's going to be a hot summer and she's got 15 and maybe she's
- 54:18not going to get parole on that first time she's in there
- 54:20bullshitting. People have told me it's in her
- 54:22records, her disciplinary reports.
- 54:25They're not going to give her that.
- 54:26Her victims families are going to show up.
- 54:30It is going to be shown in her next appeal that the clip where
- 54:37she is literally asking her lawyer, do you think I did too
- 54:41much? Do you think I?
- 54:42I don't want to be forcing it too hard.
- 54:44Like, girl, this is an act to you?
- 54:46You're just trying to get out and you're not going to.
- 54:49It's ridiculous. I have so much more like lore
- 54:53and tea when it comes to being in prison with her.
- 54:56But my mind is spinning and I don't want this to be a 20
- 54:59minute video. So I'll probably make a second
- 55:01part. But that's my take on the crash
- 55:04Netflix documentary from somebody who was in prison with
- 55:08Sharilla The. OK, yeah, it's a good take.
- 55:13It's a good take. Now we've got we do have a
- 55:16follow up. And actually, this shows how she
- 55:19was made-up in the documentary. She's got her little messy bun
- 55:22up on top. She's got her hair perfectly
- 55:24done, her makeup perfectly done, the whole thing.
- 55:29All right, here's Part 2. This is almost 4 minutes long.
- 55:33Here we go. OK some more on UMM calling
- 55:37Mackenzie Chirilla out since I was in there with her UMM.
- 55:41Never one time did I ever see Mackenzie Chirilla go for a
- 55:46blood pressure check, take any type of medication or go to sick
- 55:51call. Ever experience dizziness?
- 55:53In fact, Mackenzie Chirilla would go out in 100° heat waves
- 55:59with baby oil on her and sit on the prison yard in tan.
- 56:04So let's just get that understood.
- 56:06The girl does not have any medical issues.
- 56:09OK? A lot of people in my life asked
- 56:11me what do I mean by her voice seems different.
- 56:16She talked like your average like valley girl when I was in
- 56:22there with her. Now, in this documentary, she's
- 56:25speaking like forced hood or slang, because that is cool in
- 56:31prison. That is like the more hood, the
- 56:34more gang, gang, the more whatever you are, the more clout
- 56:38you have in prison. And Mackenzie wants clout in
- 56:41whatever ways possible. Yeah.
- 56:45Mackenzie has makeup and jewelry in prison because her mom was
- 56:51ordering it for her, is ordering it for her in 3rd party vendors
- 56:55like union supplier access like secure pack and getting them
- 57:00like packages sent in to the prison for her.
- 57:03So that's where she gets makeup because we could get like our
- 57:05loved ones to order makeup. Also Mackenzie is on the like
- 57:10prison Princess like paper dolls, the prison sugar daddy
- 57:16websites that like Gypsy Rose found Rhining.
- 57:21This is this is an illness that I don't get.
- 57:26Prison, sugar daddy websites, paper dolls.
- 57:29Oh, my goodness. Oh, Oh my goodness.
- 57:36You kidding me? I I don't get it.
- 57:39I just, I don't get it at all. I don't get it.
- 57:43I don't. I just.
- 57:44I, I, I I I just don't get it. Why would you do that?
- 57:54Why? Why?
- 57:56But OK. And on Mackenzie is on those
- 58:00websites also, so there's sugar that he's supplying her needs.
- 58:05People asked me if Mackenzie ever showed remorse in prison.
- 58:10Mackenzie never cried the entire time I saw her in prison.
- 58:17Not one tear. So for her to sit in that
- 58:19documentary and say that she thought about it every day was
- 58:23bullshit. Also, props to that judge for
- 58:27stepping on Mackenzie's mama's neck during that victim impact
- 58:32statement because what do you mean?
- 58:35She said. Oh, that was a cool moment, That
- 58:37so. So the victims don't matter
- 58:39here. Yeah.
- 58:41Davion was a new friend. Oh.
- 58:43Oh, OK. So yeah, no.
- 58:47And to answer another question, yes, Mackenzie has had multiple
- 58:51girlfriends in prison. She was walking around with on
- 58:55her neck like hickeys on her neck in person.
- 58:58She's gone to the hole for being intimate with girlfriends in
- 59:01prison. So if she was grieving or
- 59:03remorseful, she would not have gone in prison and jumped into
- 59:07prison relationships within the next six months.
- 59:10In fact, two of her former prison girlfriends.
- 59:14Follow me on this TikTok. One of them I've interviewed on
- 59:17my page. So also that Rosie Graham girl.
- 59:23If y'all follow her, unfollow her because she's delusional and
- 59:28she is just trying to get Klow off of being a former friend of
- 59:31Mackenzie. Because what do you mean you
- 59:34would not? What do you mean Davion and Dom
- 59:37were your friends but you wouldn't help the detectives
- 59:40figure out what happened? But you're so quick to.
- 59:43What she's saying is that this this girl would not talk to
- 59:47police, period. Just wouldn't talk.
- 59:50Now, here's the thing about that.
- 59:52I wouldn't talk to police and I would ask my daughter not to
- 59:55talk to police without a lawyer. But like all the other kids were
- 1:00:03volunteering all sorts of information.
- 1:00:05And this, this girl, Rosie, just never, ever, ever talked to
- 1:00:08police. In fact, the prosecutor told the
- 1:00:12the documentary film makers, I'm glad that she talked to you.
- 1:00:16I'm fascinated to hear what she said.
- 1:00:20He he wanted to talk to her the whole time.
- 1:00:24Free to be on a Netflix documentary about it.
- 1:00:26I love how even the detective or prosecutor threw that in there.
- 1:00:30Because what? And no, Mackenzie Chirilla will
- 1:00:34not be granted parole on her first hearing.
- 1:00:39I can tell you that right now she's getting flopped.
- 1:00:41I wonder how, how many years go by between hearings.
- 1:00:47I don't know the answer to that question.
- 1:00:49If anybody knows. Actually, you know what?
- 1:00:51I can just very quickly, what is the interval between parole
- 1:01:02hearings for murderers in Ohio? Let's see intervals of 10 years
- 1:01:13for standard cases are five years for specific offenders,
- 1:01:16such as juveniles tried as adults.
- 1:01:20So if she's up for her first parole hearing in 2037, it'll be
- 1:01:272042 before she gets her second. Probably.
- 1:01:31She was a juvenile when the crime occurred.
- 1:01:35She was a juvenile when she was tried.
- 1:01:37She was 18, but when she when the crime occurred, she was a
- 1:01:41juvenile. All right, let's see what you
- 1:01:43guys are saying over here. Elizabeth Mcmasters, says.
- 1:01:49Gavin, it's like the women who fangirled after Richard Ramirez
- 1:01:53back in the day. They had a section in the
- 1:01:55courtroom at sick. Yeah, I don't get it.
- 1:01:57I don't get it. But same thing.
- 1:02:02Ted Bundy, right? Just crazy Sondra saying Gavin
- 1:02:10Natalie was pimping her daughter out on Facebook messaging rich
- 1:02:13old creeps to message her daughter in prison and they send
- 1:02:16her money that came out on the phone calls between Natalie and
- 1:02:20McKenzie. Sick nuts.
- 1:02:23Whoo Meemaw Dragon says my cousin in prison is in prison
- 1:02:29and Ohio gets parole hearing every two years.
- 1:02:33According to the Ohio ohio.gov. For murderers, it's 10 years or
- 1:02:40five years for specific offenders, maximum continuances
- 1:02:45are 10 years. Juvenile homicide offenders,
- 1:02:48it's five years maximum parole eligibility.
- 1:02:53Inmates convicted of murder must serve their mandatory minimum
- 1:02:55terms before their initial hearing.
- 1:03:00And her minimum is 15 concurrent.
- 1:03:02So it's just 15 very interesting stuff guys.
- 1:03:07And I the, you know, you never know because I was convinced.
- 1:03:14I remember Making a Murderer. I was convinced, oh, this guy is
- 1:03:19innocent, right? But at the same time, two things
- 1:03:23can be true. A podcast or a documentary
- 1:03:28series can at the same time work towards making somebody look a
- 1:03:35particular way and that somebody actually being in a particular
- 1:03:39way. That could happen.
- 1:03:42In this case, they, they appeared to work hard to show
- 1:03:46that she was guilty of what she was convicted of, which was the
- 1:03:51murder of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan.
- 1:03:57But I think it can be true at the same time that she was
- 1:04:00indeed guilty of it. And certainly the judge saw that
- 1:04:04and felt it. Why?
- 1:04:07Why on earth would she have done a bench trial?
- 1:04:14I don't get that. I don't get there.
- 1:04:20That was that was just stupid. It was bad advice, but that's OK
- 1:04:25guys. That's that's what we have on,
- 1:04:27on this subject. But don't you fret, we've still
- 1:04:30got more to go. We've got, we've got some
- 1:04:34headlines in the Sandra Birchmore case, in the Amy
- 1:04:37Hilliard disappearance, in the Krista Gilley case.
- 1:04:40We got some good news to get to. But before we do any of that,
- 1:04:43how about we hop in 2-3 questions?
- 1:04:46Here we go. Guys, in this segment, if you're
- 1:04:56new here, I answer 3 questions that you emailed to me, 3
- 1:04:59questions at gavinfish.com. It's just spelled out three
- 1:05:02questions at gavinfish.com. I take those questions, I put
- 1:05:07them into a spreadsheet and then I my solemn promises that I will
- 1:05:11answer all of them, but I get to do them three at a time and in
- 1:05:15the order in which I received them.
- 1:05:16So I guess that's the caveat. Those are the two caveats.
- 1:05:22But if you send it in, send it in three questions.
- 1:05:25Now listen, I know that some of you like to cheat and you're
- 1:05:28like, hey, I just want to get in touch with Gavin and you send me
- 1:05:31this giant e-mail. I don't read it.
- 1:05:33They're only questions. Go to three questions at
- 1:05:35gavinfishcom. If you want to reach out to me,
- 1:05:39there's a way to do that on my website.
- 1:05:41I can show it to you briefly. If you go to my website and go
- 1:05:46over to this little fishy, not the fishy icon, the envelope
- 1:05:50icon right there. That will take you to a form
- 1:05:53that you can fill out to contact me and I get all of them.
- 1:05:55I don't respond to all of them, but I get them all.
- 1:05:58Don't you worry, I got them. I did that because I wasn't
- 1:06:02getting emails. And so I made a form so that
- 1:06:04people can easily reach out to me.
- 1:06:06Anyhow, so our first question of the day guys is from Angela and
- 1:06:13her question is silver or gold. I'll tell you this.
- 1:06:19I feel like I, well, I am a silver person.
- 1:06:26I, what's the name of the I feel like Liberace when I've got
- 1:06:32yellow gold on. I just feel a little too
- 1:06:35ostentatious, a little too flashy.
- 1:06:38I indeed only have ever owned one thing.
- 1:06:43That was yellow gold. That was gold, gold and that was
- 1:06:48a watch, which I, I loved that watch, but I couldn't wear it
- 1:06:51very often because it made me feel funny.
- 1:06:53So yes, my wedding band is gold, but it's rhodium plated.
- 1:06:57So it's, it's white. And then all of my watches and
- 1:07:03that's, that's the, the whole sum of jewelry that I wear is a
- 1:07:08watch and my wedding band, my watches are all either stainless
- 1:07:12steel or I do have one that is gun metal Gray.
- 1:07:16So yeah, that's, that is the dealio on that.
- 1:07:20Angela. Very simple question.
- 1:07:21By the way, I love questions where you guys can answer too.
- 1:07:25So give me the answers to your, to these questions in the in the
- 1:07:28live chat and in the comments, will you please?
- 1:07:29Question #2 Kelly asks. Gavin, are you a morning person?
- 1:07:34Kelly, I'm not a morning person at all.
- 1:07:39Now my days, my work day starts at 8:00 AM, which I know for
- 1:07:43many of you is like hours after you have awakened 8:00 AM,
- 1:07:48that's not morning for me. That is like it is so hard to
- 1:07:53get up by 7:59 so that I can roll into my office by 8 AMI do
- 1:07:58it. But I am not a morning person.
- 1:08:02Now there's a funny story. Last year, I think it was maybe
- 1:08:062 years ago, we were as a family, we were in California
- 1:08:10and visiting family. And my wife, bless her, she
- 1:08:15hardly ever, she's just not a sentimental person.
- 1:08:19She's sentimental about certain things, but she's just, she's
- 1:08:22not sentimental about her childhood.
- 1:08:23So when she does get a little nostalgic for the old childhood,
- 1:08:28I know that she's really feeling it.
- 1:08:30And she wanted so badly to take a day trip to Yosemite, to take
- 1:08:35the kids to Yosemite, hike one of the trails that she enjoyed
- 1:08:40hiking as a kid. And so we went there.
- 1:08:43Of course, we had to get up at the crack of dawn.
- 1:08:46It was way hours before dawn to drive from Sacramento down
- 1:08:50toward Yosemite. And we're headed.
- 1:08:54You go South and then you turn left and now you're going West.
- 1:08:59And we were driving along. I saw this beautiful sight.
- 1:09:03I'd never seen it before in my life.
- 1:09:05It was. Let me describe it for you.
- 1:09:07We were driving and there were mountains and hills in front of
- 1:09:11us. And slowly the sky, which had
- 1:09:15been dark, dark blue, borderline black with stars in it, began to
- 1:09:24illuminate in different colors. And it it started in Reds and
- 1:09:30moved through like from magentas to to vibrant Reds to orange to
- 1:09:37And then, and then this, like this fiery orb appeared from
- 1:09:43behind the mountain. I was like, whoa, that is maybe
- 1:09:49the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
- 1:09:51I've never seen anything like that before in my life.
- 1:09:56I can see why people like to get up early, but now I've seen it,
- 1:10:00so I don't need to see it ever again.
- 1:10:02I just say I've seen lots of sunsets.
- 1:10:05Lots of sunsets. Just basically the same thing in
- 1:10:09reverse. No, I am not a morning person at
- 1:10:11all. And question #3 what is the
- 1:10:14first major news story you can recall from your childhood?
- 1:10:18I was thinking about this. I think the the major news story
- 1:10:25that I remember, so I would remember, I will remember
- 1:10:30current events from before this. But the the first major news
- 1:10:36story, like the life altering, life shattering kind of news
- 1:10:39story was the Challenger explosion.
- 1:10:42And that happened when I was in 6th grade.
- 1:10:45And as a person at that point where I was, I wanted to be an
- 1:10:49Air Force pilot and then join NASA and be an astronaut.
- 1:10:54They had opened up the library at school beforehand for any of
- 1:10:58us who wanted to come in and see the launch.
- 1:11:01So I had made it early to school to watch the launch.
- 1:11:04I watched it there and watched the explosion.
- 1:11:08And that became a major thing for us.
- 1:11:11I mean, but I, I remember, I remember Reagan's assassination
- 1:11:20attempt. I, I remember some news about Ed
- 1:11:23Koch. I can't, he was the mayor of New
- 1:11:25York City. I don't remember exactly what
- 1:11:27that was. I do remember the Carter V
- 1:11:31Reagan presidential campaign, but I, it, it was just kind of
- 1:11:34there, It wasn't, it wasn't as important as Challenger.
- 1:11:39So the Challenger 7, are those those seven folks are probably
- 1:11:46the ones that I remember from my childhood as being the first
- 1:11:51major news story that I covered. So what are your answers to
- 1:11:55these questions? Silver or gold?
- 1:11:58Are you a morning person? And what's the first major news
- 1:12:01story that you can recall from your childhood while you're
- 1:12:03typing those in? I think you and I, well, you can
- 1:12:08just listen along while you're typing those in.
- 1:12:09Let's get into some headlines. Here we go.
- 1:12:17True crime headlines. Okey Dokey, guys.
- 1:12:22First headline comes to us from Boston 25 News.
- 1:12:26Sandra Birchmore murder case, ex Staunton officer Matthew
- 1:12:30Farewell due in federal court Dateline Boston.
- 1:12:33This is written by Franco Loughlin.
- 1:12:36The case against a former Staunton police officer accused
- 1:12:40of killing a pregnant woman and staging her death as a suicide
- 1:12:43is expected in federal court on Tuesday.
- 1:12:46This very day on a Tuesday, ain't it?

- 1:16:33the table here. OK, who's this?
- 1:16:35Written by Wendy Wendy Grossman Cantor andpeople.com.
- 1:16:42Just days before her death, Krista Bower Gilley was talking
- 1:16:45about her future, her work, her family, even a new business
- 1:16:48idea. Now her friend and Co worker

- 1:17:10She was amazing, amazing. Reeves, 40, tells PEOPLE her
- 1:17:13light shined so bright when Reeves applied for a position at
- 1:17:17Memorial Hermann Health System, a Houston hospital system, in
- 1:17:202016. Gilly was on the panel that

- 1:17:26didn't hesitate to make me feel included and welcomed, Reeves
- 1:17:31says, adding that Gilly loved her patients.
- 1:17:34In addition to treating patients full time, Gilly took on many
- 1:17:37additional projects to help educate staff and improve
- 1:17:39patient care. Quote, I affectionately started
- 1:17:42calling her a secret weapon because she had a lot of covert
- 1:17:45missions behind the scenes and they were always done to promote
- 1:17:48better patient outcomes, to help educate our staff.
- 1:17:51Reeves says she loved touching, teaching.
- 1:17:55Gilly even worked as an adjunct professor at UTMB Galveston and

- 1:22:13A phrase that is conjures conjures quite the the visual.
- 1:22:19But thank you Gavin feeling cute going to have a bench trial.
- 1:22:24That's funny. At least the bench trial didn't
- 1:22:26work. Thank you, Gavin.

- 1:22:30idea, says Marie. Well, thank you.

- 1:22:42announcing he would seek re election for president in 1968.
- 1:22:45It came on the Morning News and took my parents and the country
- 1:22:48by surprise. All right, Lyndon B Johnson,
- 1:22:53that's your first one. That's a that's a good one, Ohio
- 1:22:56Palm, Mom says silver. For me, I am a morning person
- 1:23:00starting at 4:00 AM. That's the way my snuggly bear
- 1:23:02is. The first major story I remember
- 1:23:05was the 72 Olympic shootings in Munich when you were six.
- 1:23:11Wow, Munich and Olympics, That that is quite the story.
- 1:23:17Elizabeth McMaster says silver here as well.
- 1:23:19Not a morning person. And Three Mile Island because it
- 1:23:22was an hour away from my home in Gettysburg.
- 1:23:24Yeah, I imagine that would cause some distress.
- 1:23:28Robin says. I remember when Elvis died and a
- 1:23:30few years later, the Iran hostage crisis in 79.
- 1:23:34You know, I do. I vaguely remember the Iran
- 1:23:37hostage crisis as well. Yeah.

- 1:23:44Reagan election period, right. Let's see magical Mary says
- 1:23:51Silver morning JFK assassination.
- 1:23:55That's one little stick with you for sure.
- 1:23:58A Penguin says I understand that the inmates never ask about what
- 1:24:01other crimes were. I doubt very much that they
- 1:24:03called her Sharilla the killa. Yes, indeed.
- 1:24:08A magical Mary says she loves the good news, and I do too.
- 1:24:13I, I got to, it's like you just got to cleanse the palate,
- 1:24:17cleanse the palate to just end the, the day.
- 1:24:20Though some of you might be moving on to another show,
- 1:24:24another true crime show. Maybe you're going to tune into
- 1:24:26Surviving the Survivor or Courtroom Confidential or
- 1:24:28something like that. And if that is your deal, at
- 1:24:30least you got a little respite. Got a little good news, Hey, We

- 1:24:41terrific long weekend here in the States.
- 1:24:44We celebrated isn't the right word.
- 1:24:47We commemorated Memorial Day, which is a day where we remember
- 1:24:54those who have sacrificed their lives in service to the country
- 1:24:59and that we, I went on a walk with Kimberly and the kids and
- 1:25:03looked at all of the different, different memorials around our
- 1:25:08town. We actually have a beautiful
- 1:25:10little, we call it the historic cemetery.
- 1:25:15It's really a hero cemetery. It's where people in that
- 1:25:19cemetery, it goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War.
- 1:25:22There are graves from the Revolutionary War.
- 1:25:24It's beautifully decorated each and every Memorial Day and
- 1:25:27Veteran's Day. So we had a, we had a great day.

- 1:25:37My son and I, my sons and I went back to a hobby of my youth,
- 1:25:44which is black and white photography.
- 1:25:47Recent. Well, about a year ago Jackson
- 1:25:50said he wanted to use one of my old cameras and I taught him,
- 1:25:53you know, basic photo composition and then he didn't
- 1:25:56want to send the film off to be developped.
- 1:25:58An so we decided that we would go ahead and set UA darkroom.
- 1:26:03O we did and we first developped the film and then down in our
- 1:26:08basement we set UA Darkroom and developed some contact rints and
- 1:26:14a couple of other prints. We had a really, really good
- 1:26:17time and this is the kind of stuff that I post on my socials.
