Emerging story
Social media pages and users across the MENA region are circulating news claiming that the US court has reduced the prison sentence for a young man named Cameron Hearn from 24 to 12 years old. Hearn killed a mom and her baby when he hit them at 100mph on a Florida boulevard.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar's investigation found the circulating false. US official sources did not announce a change of the court's sentence against Cameron Hearn. The street racer took the lives of a 24-year-old mother and her daughter when he hit them at 100mph. He has been handed a 24-year prison sentence. The incident occurred when he was racing with his friend down a boulevard in Tampa, Florida, with the Mustang when he was 18 years old.
John Barrino, another street racer who also took part in that race, was also sentenced to six years in prison.
