KENTUCKY....
When prosecutors and defense attorneys appear in Fayette Circuit Court in the case of former state Representative Steve Nunn on July 8th, the focus will be on an external hard drive of what appears to be child pornography. On the morning of September 11th, the same day as the fatal shooting of 29 year old Amanda Ross, Nunn's friend Johnny Hutchison presented a box to police which contained the hard drive, nude photographs of Ross and other women, along with comments about them. Barren County sheriff Chris Eaton picked up the box, as well as a vase or jar, that Hutchison says Nunn asked him to hide for him the night before the killing. Fayette Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson filed a motion for a court order to search the external hard drive and the defense's response to that motion were filed in April and had been sealed until this week. Attorneys for Nunn argue police had no legal right to begin the forensic investigation of the hard drive, and Lexington police and Eaton had no right to search the box. Defense attorneys say Nunn's constitutional rights have been violated.
