Sheriff Stines BREAKING POINT: Murder of Judge Mullins EXPLAINED

Sheriff Stines BREAKING POINT: Murder of Judge Mullins EXPLAINED
On September 19th, 2024, Whitesburg, Kentucky was rocked by a killing that stunned the country. Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines shot and killed his longtime friend, Judge Kevin Mullins, inside Mullins’ own chambers — just minutes after the two had lunch together. The entire murder was caught on courthouse surveillance.

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze one of the strangest crimes in recent memory: a sheriff killing a judge on camera. Was Sheriff Stines insane, or was he pushed to the breaking point by mounting pressure?

Just three days before the killing, Stines sat for a deposition in a civil case tied to corruption and misconduct in his office. Was this murder about protecting himself, silencing secrets, or exposing a system that was already collapsing?

Bodycam footage shows Stines muttering paranoid lines like “you’re going to kill me” after his arrest — yet he surrendered calmly, without resistance. Was this paranoia real, or a legal strategy? And what does it mean when an officer of the law commits violence in the most incriminating way possible — on camera, in the seat of justice itself?

Join us as we break down the shocking murder of Judge Kevin Mullins, Sheriff Shawn Stines’ bizarre behavior, and what it reveals about power, paranoia, and corruption.
