Summary
The final episode in the Mackenzie Saga. Nearly four years after the crash that killed her boyfriend and his friend, Mackenzie Shirilla continues to insist that she is innocent. And in hours of jail phone calls with her mother, she makes it clear that her stance hasn't changed. As Mackenzie discusses her conviction, life behind bars, and her hopes for an appeal, many listeners have been struck by what they see as a startling lack of accountability. At the same time, a series of text messages between Mackenzie and her father have sparked intense debate online. Dive into the calls, the texts, and the family dynamics that are raising new questions about Mackenzie’s life post conviction.
