Dear Supporters, First, thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and supported this petition so far. Thanks to your incredible support, we have officially crossed a major milestone: over 1,375 signatures! Our community's voice is growing louder every day, but our work is far from over. As many of you know, Darris James Wilson was sentenced in mid-September to a two-year house arrest sentence for the tragic 2022 collision that took the life of 12-year-old Sierra Beverly and left her mother, Naomi, with catastrophic injuries. Like so many of you, we believe this sentence does not reflect accountability for a stolen life. Community Spotlights: Raising Our Voices Together This petition's momentum wouldn’t be possible without the incredible amplification from local advocates and social media creators who have used their platforms to ensure Sierra's memory is honored. We want to extend a massive thank you to:
  • Dan Wiest Around The Community (Facebook), for tirelessly sharing Sierra's story and keeping the community updated on the ongoing push for local accountability.
  • @josephbourne (Instagram), @401_da_sarpanch, and @kultaran.singh.padhiana, for dedicating their powerful reach to amplify this campaign, raise awareness, and demand accountability.
  • Our dedicated supporters across social media, who are actively pushing the campaign details and linking the petition directly in their bios to ensure maximum visibility.
Where things stand right now The Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General and the Crown Attorney’s Office have a strict 30-day statutory window from the date of the sentencing to officially file a Notice of Appeal. As of today, no public announcement has been made regarding whether an appeal has been filed. We cannot let this 30-day window slip away in silence. We need the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General and the Brantford Crown Attorney’s Office to know that the community demands a formal review of this sentence. How you can help today
  1. Keep Sharing: Please continue to tag and share this petition across Facebook, Instagram, and local community groups. Let's hit our next signature milestone together.
  2. Contact the Decision-Makers: Respectfully reach out to the Brantford Crown Attorney’s Office (VirtualCrownBrantford@ontario.ca) and the Ministry of the Attorney General (attorneygeneral@ontario.ca) to urge them to file a Notice of Appeal for Sierra Beverly.
We will continue to monitor the court filings closely and will update you the second we have definitive news on whether the Crown takes action. Thank you for standing with Sierra's family and demanding true justice.
