On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed, Senator Donna Frett-Gregory says she plans on moving for an override of the governor’s veto of a bill which sought to strengthen the laws surrounding abandoned and derelict vehicles in the territory. The territory records its 39th homicide of the year, after a man was shot and killed near Christiansted last night. And victims of Bruce Smith’s sexual abuse can now pursue civil claims against enablers in court, thanks to a new law that removes the two-year statute of limitations for civil claims related to childhood sexual abuse in the Virgin Islands.
