HB 87 Claims; Calloway, Gracie.

Introduced by: A. Victor Thomas | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Claims; Calloway, Gracie. Provides $2,079.67 for the relief of Gracie Calloway. Ms. Calloway's daughter died in a fire which the City of Roanoke fire marshal initially determined was caused by an accident. A subsequent investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms determined the fire was caused by arson and therefore Ms. Calloway's daughter was murdered. The fire marshal's ruling that the fire was an accident resulted in Ms. Calloway being ineligible for victims' compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund. Ms. Calloway did subsequently file a claim but it was denied because it was not received within two years of the death.
