The Ohio teenager dubbed "hell on wheels" — who was convicted of intentionally crashing her car at 100 mph into a building, killing her boyfriend and his friend — was sentenced to two concurrent 15 years to life sentences Monday.
Judge Russo shared blistering remarks and condemned Shirilla's actions saying: “She had a mission, and she executed it with precision. The mission was death.”
Judge Russo said in handing down her verdict remarks that Shirilla was “literal hell on wheels,” saying she intentionally drove at an hour when not many witnesses would be around, on a path she didn't routinely use but had visited days before.
Prosecutors argued in the trial that Shirilla had become turbulent and threatening towards her boyfriend and crashed to end their relationship.
Misleading as hell titles for this running around. I thought she was just driving fast based on what I saw in the headlines last week. She totally deserves the murder charges.
I mean, causing a crash and killing someone in the process of speeding is still deserving of a murder sentence.
I believe stateside it's called 'manslaughter' in a case such as that. Manslaughter is "the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder." So no, it wouldn't be deserving of a murder sentence... Edit: Unless the jury or judge deemed it so, of course.
To make matters even more confusing it all depends on state. Most have manslaughter and for a couple it would be 3rd degree murder.
Hmmmm. No.
There are judges in North Dakota, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas that would say "well, were they protesting or something?"

Food for thought.
Or Portland, even.
This food is spoiled, throw it out.
