The mother of Cameron Herrin was incensed to hear that her son had been sentenced to death for murder. She was shocked, but her husband was even more shocked. As the case was being heard in court, Cheryl Herrin began receiving support from the Tampa Bay area and the rest of the country. She also received support from some countries in Europe. But soon, the support turned into a cult following, with people stalking her family, and her fiance’s social media account hacked.
Tristan Herrin’s attorney
Cameron Herrin faces two charges of vehicular homicide, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in state prison. Herrin is charged with knowingly riding in a car that was racing on a highway. He was taken into custody on the second charge. The family of the two victims is being represented by Tampa attorney John Fitzgibbons, who declined to comment on behalf of his client.
Cameron Herrin attorneys say he continues to think about the family and is grateful for the outcome of the trial. He will spend more than half of his life behind bars. The victims’ family wanted Herrin to receive the maximum sentence, which was 30 years. The two victims were Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolt and her daughter Lillia. Herrin was 18 at the time of the crimes. He was driving with his friend in a gold Nissan.
Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolet’s
David Raubenolt, Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolet’s father, spoke for nearly an hour in court, saying he has “everlasting pain and depth of sorrow” over Cameron Herrin’s death. His daughter’s death was a shock to him, but the crash was not an accident. He has “everlasting pain and sorrow” over the death of his daughter, and he feels his family has been shattered.
Herrin was 21 years old when he was found guilty of vehicular homicide. He was driving a new Ford Mustang at high speed when he crashed into Jessica Reisinger-Raubenolt, who was pushing her 20-month-old daughter Lillia in a stroller. Herrin was also racing a car at the time of the crash.
After being convicted of murdering Jessica, Herrin’s sentence was reduced to 24 years in prison. He admitted to the crime but said he will appeal his sentence, saying that he has “everlasting pain and depths of sorrow” over the death of his daughter.
The Herrins’ parenting style
The Herrins’ parenting style is described as “loyal, attentive, and loving” by friends and family. Cheryl Herrin earned a degree in fine arts from Texas Tech University. She went on to join State Farm and worked her way up through various positions in different states. Chris Herrin earned a degree in television and radio and worked as a videographer and editor for corporate video presentations. He stayed at home mostly with the boys and was a great help to the family.
Her mother has avoided social media fandom. She maintains a private Facebook group and did not respond to an Insider request for comment. The mother, however, does engage in regular email correspondence and letters with her kids. Fans of the Herrins may find her message inscrutable, which further demonstrates her commitment to her family. In addition to their support of the family, some online fans have called on the couple to consider adopting their children.

Hundreds of thousands of posts and videos have been shared on social media, including some that contain a disturbing hashtag. Almost half of the posts and videos have been viewed more than one million times. However, the support for Herrin seems to be genuine, as his mother has been receiving phone calls from supporters in the Middle East.
