Former Kentucky lawmaker wants to take back guilty plea

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Convicted killer and former Kentucky lawmaker Steve Nunn says he wants to take back his guilty plea.

In his first interview from prison with the Associated Press, Nunn says he's sorry for killing his former fiancee Amanda Ross in 2009.

During his interview, Nunn says he believes he got bad advice from his attorney.

Last week during a court appearance, Nunn apologized to Ross's mother.

The 60-year-old former legislator is serving life in prison for first-degree murder in the shooting of Amanda Ross outside her Lexington town house.

He's also been found liable in her death by a judge in a civil case. A trial for damages is set for August.
