Former Representative Could Face Death Penalty
According to arrest records filed in Hart County, former Kentucky Representative Steve Nunn told Kentucky State Police hours after his fiancee, 29 year old Amanda Ross, was shot to death outside her Lexington home that he "was at the end of his rope and wanted revenge." A criminal complaint written by Lexington Police Detective Todd Iddings states Nunn told police at the time of his arrest and while en route to Bowling Green Medical Center that "he was sorry for not completing the job" and that he spoke of revenge and going to the penitentiary. Nunn allegedly told police his domestic violence dispute with Ross caused him to lose his job, his money and become a burden to his family. Nunn could face the death penalty, with the murder charge coupled with the violation of a protective order.
