Teen Convicted of Murder Seeks New Trial | Columbus News

A 21-year-old woman convicted of murder for a 100 mph crash that killed two teens is fighting to reopen her case, arguing a technical filing deadline error denied her a fair shot at justice. Her lawyers claim Ohio’s inconsistent court interpretations violate equal protection, and new evidence—including possible blackouts and ineffective counsel—was dismissed before it could be reviewed. Now, they’re urging the Ohio Supreme Court to revisit its refusal to hear the appeal, insisting a different deadline calculation would have allowed her constitutional claims and medical evidence to be heard. The case has gained national attention after a Netflix documentary, and Shirilla, who says she doesn’t remember the crash, remains locked up with a 15-to-life sentence.
