Emily Simpson

Yes.

Well, you are the one who actually turned me on to this documentary.

Thank you.

Of course.

And then I saw that our NBC Studios team was also covering it for their video podcast, allegedly on Netflix.

So, Emily, what was your takeaway from Mackenzie's interview in the doc?

I do like the fact that they showed that she had her attorney present because you didn't know that in the beginning of her interview.

She's just sitting there answering questions, constantly talking about she wanted to make sure she hammered in the intent, that there was no intent.

They showed a little bit of her conversation with her attorney saying, basically, did I nail it?

Did I make all the points that there was no intent?

Part of, I think, why people are so interested in this is because of the division, right?

Like, which side are you on?

Prosecutors said that Mackenzie intentionally drove her car into the wall.

But in her Netflix interview, she blamed what happened on a medical condition called POTS, a nervous system disorder.

So McKenzie says she blacked out before the crash.

But when we talk about the medical condition, I feel like it doesn't take a medical expert or a doctor to think if she did have some type of medical episode where she did pass out or blacked out.

Wouldn't your hands, your body, it would have gone relaxed.

The fact that the car was 100 miles per hour, her foot never came off the gas.

To me, it means that she had to grip tightly to keep that car going 100 miles an hour straight into a wall.

And Emily, from behind bars, Mackenzie appears well aware of the attention that her story is receiving.
