**AITA for Thinking the New Mackenzie Shirilla Doc Is Just a 90-Minute Episode of "How Not to Gaslight a Jury"?**
AITA for thinking the new Mackenzie Shirilla doc is just a 90-minute episode of “How Not to Gaslight a Jury”?
Okay, so I just binged the new Mackenzie Shirilla: Speed, Lies & Videotape doc on Netflix. 📺 Basically, TL;DR: This girl in Ohio floors her car into a wall at 100mph, killing her boyfriend and his friend. She claims she “blacked out” and had a seizure. 🚗💥
The entire doc is just 90 minutes of her mugshot face staring into the camera lens like a low-budget horror movie villain, while the prosecution plays the audio of her saying “I’m gonna crash this car” on a loop. But here’s the kicker – she’s now using the internet’s obsession with her as reason for a new trial. She’s literally arguing “the memes made me look guilty.” 🫠
Honestly? Watching her replay her own text messages in that robotic, monotone voice where she threatens to “put the car in a wall” is giving major Main Character Syndrome energy. The entire thing is just a masterclass in “play stupid games, win a life sentence.”
So, AITA for thinking this whole doc is just a 2-hour ad for “Don’t text and drive, unless you want your Drake-inspired Instagram captions to be used as Exhibit A”? Because the only thing she should be speeding towards is a better alibi. 💅
