Biggest fail was not requesting a jury. No way they couldn’t make a jury seem more sympathetic to a young girl. That decision made zero sense to me.
I just watched a video from Lawyer You Know in which a spoke on this for a bit. I highly recommend his channel if you are into stuff like this. I started watching him during the first Karen Read trial a couple of years ago.
Anyways he said he wasn’t surprised that they chose a bench trial. Basically said that he didn’t think that the jury would be sympathetic towards her with all of the videos, recordings, texts, etc. and they could have been in an emotional state where they felt the need to convict to get justice for the two boys. They thought she was overcharged and that the prosecution wouldn’t be able to prove intent to a judge that is less likely to make an emotional decision. Obviously that plan didn’t work but he did a decent job of explaining the thought process behind why someone would choose a bench trial.

Her and Dom were not only into drugs, but actual pot dealers
That fact stuck out to me. I feel bad for the black dude in the black. They didn't go into enough detail on him for us to know how bad he was, but I don't have a whole ton of sympathy for Dom. The dude wasn't just a pot head but he was a fricking drug dealer. frick that guy.
And frick McKenzie's dad while we're at it. He commented about the money Dom had rolling in knowing he was a fricking drug dealer and had no problem with his daughter living with him.

They tried to blame it on being a leap year, as if that were a factor in October.
It absolutely was, and while it is a perfectly legitimate reason, it certainly is no excuse.
It is common for legal deadlines that are short periods to be expressed in days rather than weeks or months. This begins to change past around 6 months, and IME the majority of time periods of "a year" or more are expressed in years when they are essentially whole numbers of years. You do see a lot of "364 days" in criminal sentencing statutes, but that has a whole separate set of reasons.
Lawyers keep lists of deadlines and have warning systems built in as deadlines get closer. The person who entered that deadline in their systems read 365 days as a year. This is a fatal error because 25% of the time, that is not accurate, just like this case.
The fact that the time ran over a leap year is almost certainly the cause of the error. Quite an easy one to make, but given the frequency of it happening, there should be proper safety rails built in. For this very reason, my firm has a rule that deadline periods are entered in the format that it appears in the law or other authority governing the deadline. So if it says 365 days, then it is entered in the system as 365 days and NEVER as 1 year.

Netflix interviewing that girl in prison is an absolute slap in the face to the parents of the two other kids that died
Turning this into a reality drama show is only going to prolong the grief and suffering of the victims parents, especially considering that the bodycam footage of Russo’s mom finding out he died was just released

The kid was a piece of shite. Drug dealer and crypto trader was their basis for his ‘bright future’. If McKenzie didn’t kill him, he’d eventually get shot or be a drain to society.
100% when she gets out of jail, she’ll start an OnlyFans and have more money in a week than this board combined.

According to court documents, she told first responders that she wanted to die and that it was her fault for killing her boyfriend.

Dom dead and Mackenzie in prison is a net positive for society, but Davion seems like he could have been pretty solid human if he had been able to get away from that group. He had a good family and just got in with the wrong group

Sometimes you have to sacrifice a soldier to win a war.

I'm still wondering what triggered her to go from driving normal and making that turn, to accelerating like that nonstop. I don't see Dom starting the breakup conversation at 5:30 in the morning after being up all night/barely sleeping with their friend in the backseat. I'd be to tired to break up with crazy at that point.

If these kids weren’t white, it’d never be a story.
They were all a drain on society and glad they’re dead or in jail. Wish their parents suffered the same fate.

There’s also an hour long one on Hulu has a little bit more information about her.
Mrs. White read about this somewhere so we watched it after watching the Netflix doc. It seemed, to us, the Hulu doc 'painted her in a less favorable light', and the Netflix doc almost seemed like a response to 'tell her side.' Right down to the embarrassing jail interview referenced above.
ETA: It seems like she had never been told NO at any point in her life - her parents just enabled her to the point of putting her in jail. Taking her word for school punishments, allowing her to live with her adult boyfriend, speaking a gibberish language to discuss lies to tell the police (mentioned and played in Hulu doc) etc. She was destined for failure.
