Mackenzie Shirilla new defense team is arguing that her trial attorneys were “ineffective” in her latest bid to earn a new trial. Mackenzie Shirilla is hoping for a new trial, arguing in her latest legal filing that her constitutional rights were violated in the initial legal proceedings. Her trial attorneys also never presented evidence that she had a “legitimate reason” to be on the remote road in the early morning hours of July 31, 2022. Instead, prosecutors relied on testimony from the deputy county medical examiner, a decision which they argued had gone unopposed by her trial attorneys.
