GLASGOW — Former Republican Gov. Louie B. Nunn alleged in a 1994 letter that his son Steve, now charged with the murder of a Lexington woman, had physically attacked him and abused other family members.

Louie Nunn, who died in 2004, told his son he was too old and disabled to fight with him physically, and that the mental anguish caused by the attack "is more than I need."

Louie Nunn also said he didn't want having hurt his son physically or mentally on his conscience or his record.

1. Sad.

I wouldn't wish that sort of family problem on anyone, even a Republican governor.
