My son, Benson Gentry, was recently hit by a car driven by Jesse Gillin. Benson, who had just achieved his dream of making it to the All-Star football team, is now forced to withdraw due to the severe injuries he sustained in the accident. He is suffering from road rash covering his entire body and a painful concussion. Despite these serious injuries, the person responsible, Jesse Gillin, is walking free with only a charge of driving while suspended.

This is a grave injustice. A suspension of driving privileges is not enough for someone whose reckless actions have caused such harm. Benson deserves justice, not only for the physical injuries he is dealing with but also for the emotional distress of having his football dreams put on hold.

We are asking the local authorities and the justice system to reevaluate and escalate the charges against Jesse Gillin. Reckless driving that results in injury carries significant consequences that must be duly recognized under the law. We demand a complete investigation into the accident to ensure all facts are considered and appropriate charges are pressed.

Statistics show that an alarming number of drivers with suspended licenses are involved in accidents, often due to negligent behavior. This incident underscores the need to hold individuals accountable for their actions to prevent future tragedies. Benson's case is a poignant reminder of the potential devastation caused by irresponsible driving.

Please join us in calling for justice for Benson Gentry. Every signature brings us one step closer to ensuring that such incidents are handled with the seriousness they deserve. Your support matters greatly, not just for Benson, but for the safety and justice of our community. Sign this petition to make a change and hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions.
