“Contrary to the unfortunate remarks of Dr. Brackney and her attorney, the decision was made by a respected and experienced U.S. District Court judge, who considered a lawsuit of 73 pages with over 150 pages of exhibits containing facts set forth in 11 counts against 11 defendants and determined that no plausible claims had been stated,” said the attorney for the defendants, David Patrick Corrigan of Harman Claytor Corrigan & Wellman, of Richmond, Virginia.

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia on Jan. 20 dismissed wrongful termination claims filed by former Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall M. Brackney-Wheelock.
