The Biggest Mistake in Mackenzie Shirilla's Defense? Waiving the Jury.

We're diving into Netflix's The Crash. The documentary asks a question that goes far beyond a car wreck: When does a fatal crash become murder? As a former homicide prosecutor, and current criminal defense lawyer, I'll break down how prosecutors prove intent, why circumstantial evidence can be so powerful, and how juries decide whether a tragedy was an accident, recklessness, or something far more sinister. If you've watched The Crash, or even if you haven't, this is really a show about how the justice system decides what was in someone's mind when everything changed in a matter of seconds. Saturday at 11 a.m. on 103.9 WYAB and streaming live online. Question: If there is no confession and no eyewitness to intent, how confident would you have to be before convicting someone of murder?
