Nunn Held Liable In Wrongful Death Lawsuit


{Lexington, Kentucky}…Last month, former Kentucky lawmaker 61 year old Steve Nunn was found liable in a wrongful death civil lawsuit filed by Diana Ross, the  mother of 29 year old Amanda Ross, who was gunned down outside her Lexington townhome on September 11, 2009. Nunn pleaded guilty to murder in June 2011 and is serving life in prison in Green River Correctional Complex in Muhlenberg County. Fayette Circuit Judge James Ishmael has set a trial on damages for August 12, 2013.

Included in the trial will be negligence claims against Opera House Square and claims against Nunn's daughter, Mary Elizabeth Nunn of Glasgow to which the suit alleges Nunn illegally transferred property in Glasgow to avoid having the Ross family claim it as damages in a civil suit. In a court filing from March, Nunn said he got into the townhome community the morning of the slaying by using a key to the pedestrian gate given to him by Amanda Ross.
