A woman who crashed her car at 100 mph into a building and killed her boyfriend and their friend when she was 17 faces life in prison after she was convicted of causing their deaths.
CLEVELAND, Ohio —
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley told reporters after the verdict that video of the final seconds before the crash from another business in the park was key to the office’s decision to charge Shirilla with murder and prosecute her as an adult. A passerby spotted the crash nearly 45 minutes later and called police, who found Russo and Flanagan dead. Shirilla was trapped in the driver’s seat with one of her fuzzy Prada slippers stuck to the accelerator, and firefighters pried her out.
Evidence from her cellphone showed Shirilla drove near the business park a few days before the crash.
