She was found guilty on all counts, including murder.Judge Nancy Russo sentenced her to two concurrent 15-years-to-life prison terms, calling her "literal hell on wheels". The judge said: "This was not reckless driving. This was murder." Concurrent sentences mean Shirilla serves both life terms at the same time rather than one after the other.Shirilla is now serving her sentence at Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville. Shirilla's concurrent sentence behind bars means she could serve less time compared to consecutive sentencing, but she could still potentially spend the rest of her life in prison, as there is no fixed release date attached to her case.She won’t be eligible for parole until 15 years into her sentence, which will be in October 2037 when she is 33 years old.
