Mental Evaluation Ordered For Nunn
KENTUCKY....
On Friday, Fayette County Circuit Judge Pamela Goodwine granted the request for a mental evaluation for former state Representative Steve Nunn. Warren Scoville, Nunn's attorney, had requested the evaluation, saying his client's mental and physical health had deteriorated since he's been in jail. Nunn is charged with the September 11th murder of his former fiancee Amanda Ross, and he was recently indicted after pleading not guilty in Hart County to six counts of wanton endangerment. He is also accused of brandishing a firearm when police approached him at a cemetery hours after Ross was gunned down outside her Lexington townhome. Scoville says Nunn is not competent enough to assist in his own defense.
