Nunn's Psychological Evaluation Halted
A psychological evaluation of former state Representative 56 year old Steve Nunn has been halted. The evaluation was requested by his attorney, Astrida Lemkins, and prosecutors had not opposed the move. Under an earlier order, Nunn was taken from the Fayette County Jail Tuesday to the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center in LaGrange for a thirty day evaluation in an effort to determine if he were responsible for his actions when he allegedly shot and killed his ex-fiancee, 29 year old Amanda Ross, outside her Lexington home on September 11th. However, on Friday, the evaluation was halted and Nunn was ordered to be returned to the Fayette County Jail after Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson got a judge to agree to vacate the order. Larson says it was too early for the evaluation because a grand jury had not yet returned an indictment.
