CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – A Charlottesville federal judge has dismissed the $10-million wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former Police Chief RaShall Brackney. In a 39-page ruling, Judge Norman Moon says Brackney fails to prove a hostile work environment nor discrimination among her claims.
Brackney had claimed wrongful termination because of racial issues, and sued the city as well as certain individuals including Mayor Lloyd Snook. Snook told NBC29 as a trial lawyer he did not think the suit stood a chance, but is relieved it is now behind them and closed the book on the Brackney tenure.
