Former county clerk had disputed lawyers’ fees for Kentucky couple who won $100,000 damages

Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That is in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan county clerk should pay the couple who sued.

…

Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal despite the US supreme court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. She based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

    They’ll never see it.
    I bet they could repo her trailer and take all her shit and they still wouldn’t get more than $26,000.

      I feel like lawyers in a high profile case will make sure every single penny is squeezed out of her until she dies

      At least I hope so.

      That’s still a bit of a win then. Better to completely drain one of these monsters than a 250k slap on the wrist for wealthy scumbags like trump.
