“This was not reckless driving. This was murder,” the judge said before she read out Mackenzie Shirilla's verdict Monday afternoon.

Because of her intent and crimes- she had genuine murderous intent as the judgement said. She seemed very cruel and unhinged according to the article and presented evidence and the video showed her crying due to the judgement.

It’s been two years since she murdered those people. She could easily feel true remorse now.

I’m in no way trying to excuse her actions, I just think it’s worth trying to do some level of empathizing for people. Not that what she did was in any way justified, but I can’t imagine trying to live with myself if I got angry enough to murder someone.

It's all speculation and assumptions anyway ! We can see different things. I feel disgust and see regret and you may see someone possibly showing remorse. We just don't know for sure either way.

Have a good day fellow fediperson

Crying when the sentence was read doesn't say anything one way or the other about her feeling or not remorse because that specific moment is about what's going to happen to her, not about others, so she's crying for herself.

She almost certainly feels regret (which is entirelly about the consequences for herself), but it's unclear that she feels remorse (which is about the consequences for others of her actions).
