Emily Simpson

You're welcome.

For our final segment this week, we wanted to talk about a case that has sparked intense debate across social media, the case of Mackenzie Sherilla.

In 2023, the Ohio teenager was convicted by a judge of murdering her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and a friend, 19-year-old Davion Flanagan.

Both were passengers in Mackenzie's car when prosecutors say she drove nearly 100 miles per hour into a brick wall, killing them both.

A recent Netflix documentary on the case called The Crash has been a breakout hit since its debut in May, with over 58 million views worldwide so far.

It features Mackenzie's first ever interview.

But not all of the renewed attention on the case has been welcome.

Some of the victims' family members are speaking out.

She's a psychopath.

A stone-cold psychopath.

She has no remorse.

She's continuing to lie.

You know, I wish she was... I didn't hear her name anymore.

I asked Emily Simpson, my friend and fellow true crime podcast host, to come on the show to talk about the case and the documentary's fallout.

Emily, who is a lawyer, is no stranger to being in the spotlight.

In addition to hosting her podcast, Legally Brunette, she's also a cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Hey, Emily, welcome back to the podcast.

Hi, Andrea.

Thanks for having me.

I'm excited to be here.
