Defense lawyers for former Kentucky lawmaker Steve Nunn may argue that he had a mental or emotional defect when his former fiancee was shot to death.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that Nunn attorneys have filed documents showing they intend to use expert testimony and other evidence of mental and emotional defects in Nunn’s murder trial.
Nunn, the son of the late Kentucky Gov. Louie Nunn, is scheduled to go on trial Aug. 1 for murder in the death of Amanda Ross. Ross, a state insurance department employee, was shot to death Sept. 11, 2009 outside her Lexington home. The lawsuit accuses Nunn of stalking and threatening her for months before.
Prosecutors have the option of seeking a death sentence if Nunn is convicted.
