The Crash: Is the Mackenzie Shirilla Case Really as Clear as Everyone Thinks?
Everyone who watches Netflix's The Crash picks a side. Guilty or railroaded. Monster or misunderstood teenager. Premeditated killer or reckless kid in over her head. The documentary gives you enough to feel certain either way — and that's exactly the problem, because the evidence doesn't support certainty in either direction. Mackenzie Shirilla was convicted of four counts of murder for drivin...
