Hearing Set In Nunn Case
KENTUCKY....
Warren Scoville and Hailey Scoville Bonham, filed a motion Monday asking the court to release money from the sale of former state Representative Steve Nunn's home in Glasgow to pay legal fees. Proceeds from the sale of the house and any personal property are in escrow "until further orders from the court," according to an agreed order for injunctive relief that was filed in November after Amanda Ross's mother, Diana Ross, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Nunn in late September. Friday's hearing in Fayette Circuit Court was to hear arguments surrounding that suit. Ross's attorneys told the judge that Nunn has half a million dollars in retirement funds, and they wanted to know why that money wasn't used to pay Scoville. Scoville says, if the money is not released, he will have to excuse himself from the case. Judge James Ishmael says he will take more time to decide whether to suspend a civil lawsuit against Nunn until the criminal case is done, and he wanted information about whether Warren Scoville could represent the firm and Nunn in the same case because the attorney's firm is named in the civil lawsuit. A hearing is set for January 12th.
