Everyone who watches Netflix's The Crash picks a side. But a psychotherapist who has spent thirty years treating people who do terrible things says both sides are asking the wrong question — and the clinical reality underneath the Mackenzie Shirilla case is something nobody in the courtroom was equipped to see. Shirilla was convicted of four counts of murder for driving her car into a building in Strongsville, Ohio at nearly a hundred miles per hour, killing Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. She was seventeen. The prosecution argued it was calculated. The defense argued medical emergency. A judge with no jury sided with the prosecution. Netflix put the case on screen and the country split. Shavaun Scott, licensed psychotherapist and author of The Minds of Mass Killers, sits down for a three-part deep dive into the psychology of this case. She examines Mackenzie's personality — the narcissism, the fragility, the volatility — and explains why the profile that convicted her may be a clinical misread. She takes apart the relationship between Mackenzie and Dominic — the mutual toxicity, the competing accounts of a violent incident two weeks before the crash, the self-harm threats, and what abandonment does to someone built around control. And she confronts the aftermath — the memory claim, the grief, the dueling narratives, and a devastating possibility the trial never explored. The evidence is real. The question is whether the system understood what it was looking at.
