I knew the story of the crash already but don’t know where from?
Think her parents need to stop being her friend and actually be her parents.

I watched it. I'm aware there's always a point-of-view in a documentary, seems partly to do with which people they need access to. The families of the two boys obviously contributed with their interviews and lots of personal and social media. Also the police and prosecution. But even if there'd been much more from the girl's side, it's hard to see what could have been presented that would have made me think the verdict was wrong.

When they left her 'off camera' asides in from the jail interview, it wasn't 'on her side' e.g. but interesting to see

I thought the prosecution went a bit over the top using a teenager's tiktoks in court as a gotcha, but the evidence otherwise seemed solid. The girl's parents were astonishing to watch, especially the court plea for leniency.

She must have intended to kill herself too, though, because there's no way she could have guaranteed to survive that crash

I felt for the boys' families, they didn't get an explanation.
Personally I don’t think the prosecution did go over the top showing her tiktoks. Was showing how she behaved after what she did. Was showing her true character.

As for her parents. They must have blinkers on.

Yes her no-boundaries parents were clearly part of the problem

I'm just wary of making too much of kids' trend-following on social media, they copy each other, and every new in-thing and 'influencers' - it's hard to say exactly what it reveals about them and I think the friend was right when she said the adults didn't get the meaning of the tiktok songs etc. But I think the physical evidence and witness testimonies were enough for a clear verdict. It was a terrible thing to do.

Her mum was awful!! Especially when she said that Davion was just a new friend. That’s a terrible thing to say in front of his parents! Her dad was awful too, that boom t-shirt he was wearing was out of order. They were questionable, who lets their teenage daughter move in with her twenty year old boyfriend? And her friend was awful too!

I’ve watched something on this before and the Netflix doc left a lot out, she’d driven that route 3 days before. She knew what she was doing; and still now she’s shown no remorse. She only cares about herself.

I have watched several programmes about this crash. This is the 1st time I have seen her or her parents interviewed though. Her parents are horrendous & as a PP said lots of information about her social media use after the incident & her behaviour before was left out.
What I can't get to the bottom of is how her 20 year old boyfriend was able to buy her all the designer stuff. His dad said he was into crypto currency and he had his own place. I think there was a lot unsaid there.
This is not victim blaming Dominic but surely based on the text messages he was a dealer.

He was as definitely a dealer! 100000%! He was not weighing food on those scales!

Yeah I was sure I had seen on another programme that she had driven that route before, but it wasn't mentioned. It seems like Netflix went into it neutrally by interviewing her & her parents but they just proved what they are really like. If they had been a couple for 4 years, that means she was 13 & he was 16. In this version her parents said she moved in with him after graduation, but she had literally just graduated & had been living there for some time.

Just finished watching The Crash - not seen/read anything about this before. How delusional are her parents. Wasn’t expecting Mackenzie to be on it -no remorse at all. Absolutely awful what she did

Her parents were very nonchalant about everything . She has clearly had no parental guidance throughout her life .

I genuinely don’t lnow if you could say that this was calculated on Kenzies part .. manslaughter definately. The spanner for me is Davion - this takes away the idea that it was a love pact death or Kenzie deciding she wanted to hurt Dom.. I can see how the weed could have affected her driving .. but it does t make sense that it was fine to start and then all of a sudden she is doing 100mph..

I do not buy the “ I had a medical emergency “ - if this was the case then surely would be some signs prior to this . One swerve at the wheel is not enough to convince me - this could easily have been Kenzie and Dom arguing - and the wheel was pulled or she lost control for a minute.. also why no slowing down at all? Muscles would relax if she lost consciousness??

Interesting that the lawyer was sat in on the interview - he was obviously coaching her . She came across as insincere when being asked questions. Suspect that she might try and appeal again and doesn’t want to drop herself in the tit. I got the impression that Kenzie thinks of herself of some kind of “ home girl “ with the stupid hairdo she had. The weed smoking etc ..

Dom was def dealing - unless his parents were extra rich or other option was he was shoplifting the stuff . Davion is the outlier in the planned to murder theory. I didn’t pick up anything to suggest that she’d want to hurt her friends - she came across as a very silly teenage girl who has had zero parental guidance in her life and therefore has no boundaries .

I don’t think she planned it. I think she threw a tantrum of rage and didn’t stop to consider the consequences. I think she thought herself untouchable and was never taught to be responsible for her actions. She’s a very narcissistic, spoilt individual who has learned nothing. The “little girl lost”, wide-eyed innocent look is all a manipulative act.

I think you are right .. and the tantrum makes sense. So tantrum mixed in with copious amounts of weed .

Watched The Crash tonight, never heard of the case before so I'm interested in the other coverage of it that PP have mentioned.

She was a right little madam.
As others have said she threw tantrums & I think this was angry speed rage gone wrong. Did she mean to crash, most probably, but for anyone to die.....🤷‍♀️, probably not!
I noticed in the video that Davion didn't wear a seatbelt & given where the boys were found in the car I'm assuming neither boys wore one that night....

Davions parents came off the best from the programme.
Doms only said as much as was necessary given he was loaded ££ & the friend asking if the could 'buy' off him.
Her parents know exactly what's she's like but what parent wants their kid in jail...very few!

I also watched tonight,
going 100 mph into a brick wall/building? Of course she wanted them to die!
In the heat of the moment, she went batshit crazy in my opinion, even if it meant her own life.
It seems her parents didn't raise her very well. They had no problems with her taking drugs and believed her innocence when she got in trouble at school.
I feel so sorry for the family who sat with her parents on the first day in court.
