CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Supreme Court handed down a ruling Monday that will allow an excessive force lawsuit against guards at Mount Olive Correctional Complex to progress in Kanawha County.
The court upheld a ruling by Kanawha Circuit Judge Joanna Tabit, who denied a motion by the prison employees to dismiss an excessive force lawsuit last year.
With the court upholding the ruling, the case can proceed in Kanawha Circuit Court.
