The Latest: Attorney: Clerk's contempt hearing was 'charade'
MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — The latest on the county clerk in Kentucky who has refused to issue marriage licenses since the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage (all times local):
3:20 p.m.
An attorney for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis says the contempt hearing a federal judge held was a "charade."
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, said U.S. District Judge David Bunning knew he was going to send Davis to jail on Thursday before he heard one word of her testimony. He accused the judge of violating constitutional law and said he will file an appeal and a writ of habeas corpus to get her released. That's a legal action that seeks relief from unlawful imprisonment.
Bunning sent Davis to jail because she refused to issue licenses to gay couples.
