Original Message SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 NEWS) - The fate of more than a dozen crosses honoring fallen UHP troopers was left in the hands of a federal court judge on Tuesday.

The issue was taken to court after a group of atheists sued the state claiming the crosses violate the constitutional separation of church and state. The group is now asking the Utah Highway Patrol Association to remove the 12 foot-crosses because they denote the death of Jesus Christ.

However, the state and UHP troopers say they are memorials to brave public servants and not religious in nature.

The majority of the 13 UHP crosses lie on public property.

The judge said he would take the arguments under consideration and rule soon. Some court observers feel the atheist’s suit against the crosses could be tossed out by the judge, only to be appealed to the Federal 10th Circuit Court in Denver. There was also some talk by lawyers in the courtroom Tuesday that the case could make it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
