“I’ve weighed the cost and I’m prepared to go to jail, I sure am,” Mrs. Davis told me in an exclusive interview. “This has never been a gay or lesbian issue for me. This is about upholding the word of God.”

That indicates she is completely aware of the potential consequences of her chosen course of action, and is fully competent to direct her defense in this proceeding.
