Clerk is jailed...Church shootings could bring death sentence...Deputies suspected of murder

ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky county clerk who told a judge that "God's moral law" conflicts with her job duties has now been sent to jail. Kim Davis told the judge that her "conscience will not allow" her to follow the judge's orders to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

Davis was then escorted out of the courtroom, to be turned over to the custody of federal marshals.
