Will "Good, Christian" Judge Let Steve Nunn Walk?

Steve Nunn may not need that temporary insanity act he's been preparing and perfecting for the past year.

Former state Rep. Steve Nunn had pornographic images of girls between the ages of 10 and 12 on a computer hard drive recovered after his ex-fiancee was found murdered last fall, a Lexington police detective said Thursday.

The external hard drive was found in a box that Nunn had asked a friend to hide for him the night before the murder, according to testimony during a hearing in Fayette Circuit Court.

The hearing was held to determine whether police and prosecutors can continue searching the hard drive. No decision was made, and Judge Pamela Goodwine set a second hearing for Aug. 19.

Nunn, 57, who served 16 years in the state House from Glasgow, is being held in the Fayette County jail on murder and domestic violence charges. He waived his right to appear Thursday.

Nunn faces the death penalty in the death of his ex-fiancee, Amanda Ross, 29, of Lexington, who was found shot outside her townhouse the morning of Sept. 11, 2009.

Before Thursday's hearing, attorneys for Nunn filed 11 motions seeking to suppress and exclude evidence. It ranged from comments Ross made to family and friends about Nunn before her death to statements that Nunn's sister and first wife made to police about his physically abusing them.

Goodwine said she would begin dealing with the motions at the Aug. 19 hearing.

Goodwine, Goodwine - isn't that the same Goodwine who let confessed felons skate on probation because they were white xian rich men?

Yes. Yes it is.

Yep, I'd say Nunn's days as a jailbird are numbered - and not because he's getting the death penalty.
