The horrifying accident happened back in 2018 when 18-year old Cameron Herrin hit 24-year old Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolt and her 1-year-old daughter, Lillia, while participating in a street race, according to a local news outlet FOX 13 Tampa Bay

Both the mother and the child passed away.

Reisinger-Raubenolt was reportedly pushing Lillia in a stroller across the Florida street when they were struck. According to a report revealed Herrin was driving at 120 miles an hour speed before he began hard braking right before the crash.

Herrin was sentenced in April 2021.

As per FOX 13, the judge made a note of Herrin's alleged history of speeding as part of the reason the 21-year old got 24 years in prison. 

However, some people on the internet feel that Herrin's face is too handsome for it to serve prison time and that he should be given  a 'second chance.'

A TikToker, who is known for creating news-related content on the platform and has over 500,000 followers, recently made a video about Herrin to explain to users that why Herrin is all over the news on social media and why people keep on seeing his face on the internet. 

Her video has been viewed over 2.2 million views since being posted on Aug. 4. 

“People on the internet and on TikTok specifically think that this punishment is too harsh and that he deserves a second chance,” TikToker @hannahkosh says before reading some of the comments of support he is receiving. “Here are some of the comments: ‘Poor boy, I hope they will forgive him, he looks innocent. He didn’t do it on purpose,’ and ‘He doesn’t deserve that. You’re too cute.'”

TikTok user @hannahkosh also points out the bizarre Change.org petition seeking “justice” for Herrin. The petition has garnered more than 28,000 signatures so far.

Most of the TikTok videos of Herrin features his time in court.

Some of the TikTokers have gone as far as comparing Herrin to other criminals who were considered attractive, an example as such of Victoria Mendoza, who reportedly received a 16-to-life prison sentence after fatally stabbing her girlfriend, 21-year-old Tawnee Baird.

Herrin's one such video has gone viral on TikTok that is using Charlie Puth's music in the background which has irked the singer badly and he responded by saying:

 “Don’t use my music for that shit.”

Reportedly Herrin has over 2 million followers on his TikTok account, however, all the content of his account has been now removed, according to PopBuzz

Though it is still unclear whether Herrin gained his massive following before or after the incident.

Court documents, reviewed by local TV station WTSP, reveal that Herrin is appealing the sentence.
