Introduction
In this era where people are earning more, their standard of living also increased.
They buy costly vehicles to travel. Automobiles provide the convenient and quick way of
travelling regardless of the distance. It has become a necessity for travelling, transportation.
Due to increase in demand the supply has also increased resulting in more numbers of
vehicles be it cars, two-wheelers, trucks, buses on the road. Unfortunately, with the increase
in traffic on the roads, there has been an increase in fatal and dangerous accidents also.
Reckless driving, speeding, distracted driving are the most common causes of road accidents
in Canada (Klein Lawyers, 2021). In 2018, Canada has reported an increase of 3.6% that is
1922 dangerous road accidents than in 2017 (International Transport Forum, 2021). Thus, in
this essay we will discuss the summary of the given case, the needs of the victim and the best
possible suggestions to meet the needs.
Summary
According to the given case, it was May 23rd when Cameron Herrin at the age of 18
went out with his friend named John Barrineau. They drove separately, Herrin with his
brother Tristan in Ford Mustang, gifted by his mother Cheryl, while his friend Barrineau was
in gold Nissan. Then both the cars stopped besides each other and suddenly when the traffic
light was green, they sprint like a rocket next to each other, seemed to be racing. Jessica
Reisinger-Raubenolt, 24 and Lillia, 1, a mother daughter duo were crossing the road, where the
daughter was in the stroller which was then pushed by her mother on the streets of Gandy
Boulevard. Instantly, the two cars approached the street, where Barrineau deviated his car,
since Herrin was at 100mph cannot skew his car and collided with the mother-daughter duo.
Ultimately, they died instantly. After the fatal crash, Herrin called his mother stating about the
crash. During the testimony, Cheryl called off in the court where she told the judge about the

mental sufferings of both of his sons. Father and widower, David Raubenolt, talked about his
situation that after seeing the traffic on the day of accident he just started praying for the injured
person without knowing that it was his wife and daughter who met with an accident and while
stating about his condition he emphasised on soft hearted nature of Jessica, his wife. On the day
of sentencing, Herrin was 21, the state attorney presented evidence where the Mustang was
seen speeding out at 162mph, additionally Herrin was found guilty before two vehicular
homicide courts before this sentencing on Thursday. Barrineau, Herrin’s friend was sentenced
for six year prison for the act (Tampa Bay, 2021).
Needs of the victim
Since, David Raubenolt, widower and father of the little baby girl, suffered immense
sufferings after the death of his family in the road accident. It was needed by the victim’s
family that the rash driver, son of a rich family, Cameron Herrin to be sentenced for not less
than 30 years in prison. After observing the case, Jessica Raubenolt, the victim, was such a soft
hearted personality who cannot see people suffer and always pray for strangers if she sees them
suffer, need appropriate justice. When a person losses someone from his/her family, due to any
accident or any other miss happening, it is the toughest situation for the remaining members of
the family to survive without their dear ones. In the given case it was both wife and the baby
who lost their lives in the crash, leaving behind the husband alone. Since, Herrin was pleaded
guilty before this accident also, the 30 years duration of punishment seems very small in front
of the intensity of sufferings that victim’s family will have to suffer throughout life. When a
family member dies, the life of members of the family left behind get ruined up.
The punishment given to the culprit should be very intense so that he/she understands
the pain of victim’s family. No more harm can be thought of in such a case so more intense
