Thursdayâs ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court in a Charlottesville Confederate statues case does not bode well for an attempt to restore monuments removed in Richmond last year, says a lawyer representing Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney.
A lawyer representing the plaintiffs who want to have the monuments that were removed by the city of Richmond put back disagrees.
The justices held Thursday that a 1997 amendment to state law preventing localities from removing war monuments could not be applied retroactively â overturning a circuit court decision that had blocked the city of Charlottesville from removing statues of Robert E. Lee and Thomas âStonewallâ Jackson.
