McDONOUGH â The Georgia Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling in Henry County Superior Court that affirms the lower courtâs refusal to intervene in the removal of the Confederate statue from the McDonough square.
The Appeals Court issued a decision on July 22 upholding a Superior Court ruling that the plaintiffs â Sons of Confederate Veterans, Colonel Charles T. Zachary Camp No. 108, and the Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans â did not have standing to bring their claims for damages against the county, and even if they did, the county was protected by sovereign immunity at that time. The Henry County case was joined with a similar case in Newton County, where the statue has not yet been removed.
