Scoville Seeks Mental Evaluation

KENTUCKY....
Attorney Warren Scoville filed a motion Monday (today) in Fayette Circuit Court seeking a mental evaluation for former state Representative 57 year old Steve Nunn. Scoville says, due to the conditions of Nunn's incarceration, "his physical and mental health have deteriorated to a point that he is unable at this time to assist in the preparation of his defense." Scoville says the evaluation is not for the formal determination of whether Nunn lacked mental capacity when his former fiancée, 29 year old Amanda Ross was killed on September 11th. But, however, he says "that motion may come at a at a later time, if warranted." The motion requests Nunn receive the competency evaluation at the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center in La Grange, and Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson says he's not opposing such an evaluation.
