ASHLAND, Ky. (LEX 18) — A jury has decided how much former Rowan County clerk Kim Davis will be paying to a gay couple after a federal judge ruled their constitutional rights were violated.
It took the jury only two and a half hours to award damages to a gay couple that Davis denied a marriage license to back in 2015.
David Ermold and David Moore tried to get a marriage license when Davis was the Rowan County clerk at the time, but Davis said she wouldn't do it because it was a violation of her religious rights. The story gained national attention.
On Wednesday, the jury awarded the couple $100,000 ($50,000 for each individual) for violating their 14th Amendment right to marry.
We're told there's a good possibility that Davis may also have to pay all their attorney fees for the past eight years.
