A Superior Court judge is ordering the Bureau of Corrections to bring an accused home invader back from a Mississippi jail to stand trial. In the order issued April 16, Superior Court Judge Denise Francois invoked the Virgin Islands Code to remind BOC officials of their responsibility.

Edwards, a resident of Paul M. Pearson Gardens at the time, is accused of breaking into a home while armed with a handgun and assaulting one of the occupants in August 2019. Court records say Edwards appeared at a pre-trial hearing on Jan. 8, but when his lawyer requested an in-person meeting with his client prior to jury selection on Jan. 29, the defendant was gone.

Through further inquiries by defense attorney Adam Christian, it was learned that Edwards was sent off island. The defendant was sent to the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler, Miss. Francois has now given Corrections officials until Monday to state in writing when the defendant will be brought back home.

At a hearing held Monday, the judge told those attending that she had tried to reach Corrections with a notice for Edwards to appear in court on April 2. A Zoom link was also sent for the inmate to appear. Francois said she received no reply and the defendant did not appear.

In an order written on Tuesday, Francois said she sent notices to Bell Facility Warden Dana Grant, to Criminal Justice Complex Warden Sherwin Miles, Corrections Paralegal Mosa Mathurin and Assistant Corrections Director Reil Faulkner.

“As of today, not one of these four persons, nor anyone else from VIBOC, has responded to the undersigned,” the judge said.

Assistant Attorney General Jalicha Persad and Miles — who was present at Monday’s hearing — were then asked why the defendant was moved off island. “Is there anyone present who can answer why Mr. Edwards was transferred from St. Croix to Mississippi?” Francois asked.

Both officials told the court they could not answer the question.

The Source contacted BOC Acting Public Information Officer Kyza Callwood for clarification, and was referred to the Department of Justice.

Attempts to reach Justice Department Criminal Chief Timothy Perry were unsuccessful.

Christian said he was ready to file a motion to dismiss the charges, saying Corrections was violating Edward’s constitutional right to counsel. He asked that his client be sent back to CJC on St. Thomas by at least June 17.

That’s one week before a hearing now scheduled for Superior Court. A new date for jury selection has been set for July 15.

After Monday’s hearing, Francois extended time for Edward’s attorney to file a motion to dismiss. The judge also directed Corrections officials to return the defendant to the St. Thomas facility “sufficiently in advance of June 24, 2024.”

“The VIBOC is charged with exercising control over detainees and inmates in accordance with law governing correctional institutions. 3 V.I.C. Sec 375(a). A detainee committed to the VIBOC remains in its custody no matter to which institution he is assigned,” the judge said.

Shooting Leaves Woman Dead in Thomasville

Patrol officers responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting on Friday in Thomasville on St. Thomas, the V.I. Police Department reported.

According to the police report, a woman called stating that her friend was shot at least once, and she appeared unresponsive. She identified the shooter as 37-year-old Simon Rawlins Jr., and indicated that he had fled the scene after shooting her friend.

Once on scene, the patrol officers made contact with a woman who appeared to have suffered at least one gunshot wound to her upper body. Emergency Medical Technicians also arrived at the scene and concluded at 6:15 p.m. that the female victim did not have any signs of life. The victim was identified by next of kin as 33-year-old Mardette Ward, the report stated.

A manhunt began in the Thomasville and Bovoni areas for Rawlins. He was subsequently apprehended without incident and placed under arrest, stated the report.

Ward’s death is the eighth homicide of the year on St. Thomas, and the 10th in the territory, according to the Source Homicide List.*

The 24th Annual Taste of St. Croix did not disappoint as it brought style, flair, and of course, food to hundreds of attendees Thursday.  One of the most highly anticipated nights of the year gathered over 25 restaurants at the Divi Carina Bay Resort and Casino.

Chef competitors went head-to-head in different categories of tasting. Categories ranged from appetizers, to entrees, desserts, and event drinks. This year’s judges could not wait to taste what each competitor had to share.

Business owner of Too Much Juice Apparels, Judith Lewis Figueroa, affectionately known as “Juicy” was assigned the category of beverage.  As a former bartender herself, Juicy said that she was representing the “Thomanians,” and that competitors better keep it “juicy.”

A native to St. Croix, Abraham Reynolds, was the former chef for Gertrudes restaurant. Reynolds judged the entree segment and said he would be “looking for flavor.”

Other judges included Michele Rose Gaton who was raised on St. Croix and owns Extra Virgin restaurant in New York.  She judged the appetizers category alongside Food Network’s Chopped champion Eric Marshall, who is no stranger to competition.

Marshall said they were looking for chefs to be presenting their technique “because when you look at a dish you want to automatically be gravitated to how it looks first.”

Marshall added that typically the appetizer is usually an indication of how the rest of the meal will go.

Over on the competitors side, Chef Jamal Miranda was firing it up with his guavaberry lamb chops. Miranda, who has been competing in the Taste of St. Croix for years, said,  “I’ve competed with numerous restaurants. Now I’m with my own restaurant, Wokame Island Sushi and Restaurant.” Miranda placed 2nd in the appetizers category.

Winner for the entree segment was Turkey Legs ON-THE-GO. It’s chef spoke about his creative way of bringing Thanksgiving every day to St. Croix and served turkey legs with rice, coleslaw, and potato salad. Many of the attendees came back for seconds of their johnny cakes.

Legislature Corner: Sen. Joseph’s Bills Secure Monthly Default Child Support, Renames Street for Bishop Dr. William A. Industrious
Senator Carla J. Joseph (Submitted photo)
Senator Carla J. Joseph is pleased to announce that two bills she sponsored, Bill No. 35-0226, now Act No. 8830, and Bill No. 35-0223, now Act No. 882, were signed into law by Gov. Albert Bryan, Jr. on April 11. These bills hold significant importance for single-parent homes, as they aim to secure a minimum default child support payment and honor Bishop Dr. William A. Industrious by renaming a portion of Gamle Gade in his honor, respectively. “Today marks a significant milestone for the children of the U.S. Virgin Islands and living in single-parent headed households. The child support bill, now a law, ensures that non-custodial parents who have been withholding providing financial information will be penalized by paying a monthly default payment. This relief measure amounts to $1,000 for the first child and $150 for each additional child, providing much-needed support to our single-parent homes. Non-custodial parents who fail to provide financial information will be pay this monthly penalty until they appear before a scheduled hearing and provide financial information requested by the Department of Justice Division of Paternity and Child Support. The calculation of monthly child support is based on a parent’s ability to pay based on the VI Code and aligns with federal standards for paternity and child support. There are several needs for caring for a child within a household. One parent should never bear most of the costs of caring for a child alone. This law will now help provide relief to homes where the non-custodial parent has failed to support their children. I want to thank Gov. Bryan for making the child support bill law to support our children in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I also want to give special thanks to my colleagues who co-sponsored and supported the bill as well as the VI Department of Justice Division of Paternity and Support, which also supported the bill and worked alongside me to craft the measure. I am also delighted that my second bill to name a portion of Gamle Gade the Bishop Dr. William A. Industrious Street was also signed into law today. This is the street in Savan where Weeks and Weeks Bakery is located. Bishop Industrious has unselfishly given his time and resources to the community in the Savan and to the Christian Unity Church located on the street now named in his honor. I highly regard Bishop Industrious for his kind heart and position on refusing a salary for his ministry in preaching and teaching about salvation. Congratulations to Mr. Industrious, the Savan Community, members of the Christian Unity Church and the Industrious family. The William Industrious Street represents a legacy of a kind, Godly, dependable man with a heart for serving others and our community. Thank you again, Governor Bryan, for signing into law this second measure to honor such a worthy man. Thank you to my colleague who supports the measure. The child support default payment and the Bishop Dr. William A. Industrious Street represent support and recognition for the people of our community.” Sen. Carla J. Joseph
