ADF will appeal decision to strike down roadside memorials to fallen Utah troopers
10th Circuit panel says crosses unconstitutional
DENVER — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys are reviewing all options for appeal of a ruling issued Wednesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit that struck down roadside memorials to fallen Utah state troopers as unconstitutional. The 10th Circuit reversed a district court ruling in American Atheists v. Davenport that upheld the memorial crosses. ADF attorneys say the reversal is regrettable in light of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a separate case that indicates such memorials might be constitutional. Case Name: American Atheists v. Davenport Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/3999 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith.
