CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Charlottesvilleâs legal battle over the cityâs statues of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and âStonewallâ Jackson appears to be at an end. The Supreme Court of Virginia has issued an official mandate, finalizing the opinion it issued earlier in April, siding with the city and clearing the way for the removal of the statues from public parks.
Charlottesville had previously stated it was waiting for the courtâs mandate to avoid potential future legal issues. The Monument Fund and allies, which fought against the removal of the statues, did not file a petition for a rehearing by the 21-day deadline.
