In December 2022, 21-year-old Liberty Mitchell had held her UK driver's license for less than three weeks. In that time, she'd filmed herself on Snapchat going 100 miles an hour. Then, on a country road in Gloucestershire, she tried to overtake three cars at once at nearly 100 mph and hit a taxi head-on. She killed the taxi driver, Octavian Codreanu, and his passenger — 35-year-old teacher Moyra Whelan, who was on her way to a wedding. Mitchell was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison. This week, a UK appeals court increased her sentence to nine years and three months. Vanessa walks you through the case, the phone footage that convicted her, and what the ruling really means.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
