'Hell on wheels': Teen convicted of crashing car at 100 mph, killing boyfriend and friend

I agree 100 percent this is a child with some kind of inability to understand the consequences of her actions she should be placed in a care facility until she demonstrates the ability to make proper decision making ability

Contrary to popular belief, people suffering from mental health issues are more likely to be the victim than perpetrator of violent crimes, more than their healthy counterpart. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2020.563860/full

She's just a murderer.

When you include an unconsenting person in the attempt, it is also murder.

It sounds much more like an abusive relationship. She was trying to punish him, regardless of the risk to herself.

If you attempt to kill yourself and take other people with you, it's commonly called murder/suicide. Killing people with intent is usually murder.

A woman kills family then kills self. Is it murder?!!!! Oh. No, just self-harm.

If you're trying to kill others along with you, it's not just suicide, it's also murder.

This is why suicidal people are dangerous, it's a relatively small change from killing yourself, to killing others.

Murder is a felony, so I believe you have to serve 80% of a sentence before being able to be eligible for parole

Something tells me the judge will make her feel a bit less lucky within a few days.

I'd be surprised if she gets out within 20 years

Or wildly unlucky, depending on how one looks at it.

Lucky or a very impressive feat of engineering in modern cars? 😱

Right? I honestly can't wait until self driving cars take up enough of the market share that manual driving cars will be outlawed (or at least getting insurance on them will be astronomically expensive)

At risk of angering the vast majority of the fuck cars community, it's generally because I live 30 minutes from my job by highway, and can't afford to live within walking distance. And they won't let us telework. I really really want to actually live close enough to bike.

So we have a large reoccurring expense that forces us to always have a job and stay productive in a modern society where this really isn't necessary?

I am sure they don't.

Yeah buddy i'm going to judge all drivers, because i kinda sorta vaguely don't want me or others to die!

Are you against gun control too?

You're not wrong. Being able to drive by 16 so that you can start working is the capitalist way.

She was 17. But I understand your point.

Legally sure, still immature and not someone who should be piloting a heavy vehicle capable of going 100 mph.

Most people aren't, frankly.

Winning was not the goal anyway? Its not a game

That's my bad, I did a no-no and commented before I'd finished reading the whole article

Because of her intent and crimes- she had genuine murderous intent as the judgement said. She seemed very cruel and unhinged according to the article and presented evidence and the video showed her crying due to the judgement.

Those look like Rittenhouse tears to me.

It's unfair of me, but it is my perception and my opinion which is only based in observation yup.

Okay, felony murder makes sense as the other charges would be felonies. I don't care much for felony murder laws because I feel like they deincentivize careful action in law enforcement, but I definitely understand where if that law is in place she caught murder for the actual murder then felony murder subsequent to the assaults.

Still feels weird that two dead people produced 6 homicide convictions though. Like, you killed them, that's 2 crimes. You killed them with a car, that's two more crimes. In the process of killing them with a car, which is a felony, you killed them. That's two more crimes.

Thank you, but that's a lot of reading for a simple question.

Statistical analysis was by χ2 test; a p value of less than 0.05 was assumed to correlate with a significant difference in rates of injury.

Oh yes it's all clear to me now.

I know it used to be like that before air bags and safety belts, because the steering wheel takes some of the blow in frontal collisions. But such dramatic difference I suspected she might have made the collision worse for the passengers on purpose.

PS She is probably a narcissist: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12417047/Mackenzie-Shirilla-TikTok-doing-drugs-not-dying-jailed-murdering-boyfriend-friend-drugged-100mph-crash.html

PPS: The article I found describes that her survival was miraculous, and she had surgery.

That'll do it.

Just read up on her case. She deserves it. Fucking loon. Just die. Bye

Sounds like a sheep dog from new zealand

I'm sure she did understand, she probably didn't think she'd survive, though, so any consequences of that possibility probably didn't occur to her at all.
