A 25-year-old Florida woman dubbed 'Mackenzie Shirilla 2.0' sobbed as she was convicted of killing her boyfriend by deliberately smashing her car into a tree.
Leigha Mumby was found guilty of vehicular homicide and reckless driving on Wednesday, after Daniel Waterman, 22, died in October last year from injuries sustained in the crash eight months earlier.
Waterman's family previously told the Daily Mail the case is eerily similar to that of Mackenzie Shirilla, 23, who was jailed for killing her boyfriend and his friend by intentionally crashing into a brick wall in Ohio on July 31, 2022.
Mumby, who was pregnant at the time of her horror collision on February 9 last year and is now a mother, was found guilty by a jury who deliberated for just one hour.
