{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.
