Mickey Stines Mental Breakdown EXPOSED: Prosecutors Want Judge Mullins Trial MOVED

Mickey Stines Mental Breakdown EXPOSED: Prosecutors Want Judge Mullins Trial MOVED

The prosecution wants to move this trial. Not the defense—the prosecution. The Commonwealth of Kentucky is asking the court to relocate the murder trial of former Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stines, who shot and killed District Judge Kevin Mullins inside his chambers on September 19, 2024. The entire shooting was captured on security footage. There's no question about what happened. The question is why—and whether Stines was mentally capable of forming intent when he pulled the trigger.

Court documents reveal a man in freefall. The day before the shooting, Stines was diagnosed with acute stress reaction. Witnesses told investigators he was "losing it," that his anxiety was "completely off the charts," that they believed he was in psychosis. He'd lost forty pounds in two weeks. He told coworkers "they" were going to kill his wife and daughter—but never said who "they" were. Four days after the shooting, a jail social worker found him still in active psychosis, unaware of his surroundings, requiring antipsychotic medication and pepper spray to control.

The shooting came just three days after Stines was deposed in a federal lawsuit alleging his deputy coerced women into sex inside Mullins's chambers. That lawsuit also named Stines for failing to supervise. Multiple women have made allegations about what happened in that office—allegations that have never been proven and that Mullins, now dead, cannot answer.

Prosecutors say they can't try this case in Letcher County. The crime scene is the courthouse. Both men were elected officials everyone voted for. The defense says keep it local—national coverage means nowhere is untouched. Meanwhile, Stines faces the death penalty, and his lawyers are building an insanity defense around a paper trail of warnings nobody acted on.

Evil Orphan Murder Trial Of Dima Tower | Day 2 Part 3

Evil Orphan Murder Trial Of Dima Tower | Day 2 Part 3

This episode features unedited courtroom audio from the Dima Tower double-murder trial in North Port, Florida — the case that’s come to be known as “The Evil Orphan.” Prosecutors say 21-year-old Dima Tower, adopted from Ukraine at age 14 by Jennifer and Robbie Tower, brutally murdered his adoptive parents inside their home before fleeing and leading police on a high-speed chase. The defense claims years of trauma and emotional disturbance shaped what happened that night. In this ongoing Hidden Killers courtroom-coverage series, we present the raw sounds of justice — no commentary, no edits — just the voices of attorneys, witnesses, and the judge as the case unfolds in real time. Each installment captures a different moment of the proceedings: opening statements, witness testimony, cross-examinations, and rulings that will decide whether Tower spends the rest of his life behind bars. For full analysis, breakdowns, and expert commentary from former FBI agents, prosecutors, and psychotherapists, follow our companion podcast Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski. ⚖️ Disclaimer: All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EvilOrphan #DimaTower #TrueCrime #FloridaCrime #NorthPort #CourtroomAudio #DoubleMurder #TrialCoverage #CriminalJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Barry Morphew Case Imploded: How Prosecutors Burned Their Own Murder Trial

Barry Morphew Case Imploded: How Prosecutors Burned Their Own Murder Trial

The Barry Morphew case wasn’t just about a missing wife and a husband under suspicion — it became a full-blown indictment of Colorado’s justice system itself.  When prosecutors first charged Barry Morphew with murdering his wife Suzanne in 2021, they promised a mountain of evidence and a story that would prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. What followed instead was a spectacular implosion of mismanagement, misconduct, and arrogance that ended with the case being dismissed, experts thrown out, and the lead district attorney ultimately disbarred by the Colorado Supreme Court. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we pull apart the wreckage piece by piece — the missed discovery deadlines, the withheld DNA that pointed to another male profile, the public statements that violated ethics rules, and the chaos inside DA Linda Stanley’s office that turned one of Colorado’s highest-profile murder prosecutions into a national embarrassment. Now, with Suzanne Morphew’s remains finally found and new evidence surfacing, the State has charged Barry Morphew again. But this time, they’re not just fighting to convict him — they’re fighting to restore credibility after their own spectacular collapse the first time around. We’re not taking sides here. This isn’t about guilt or innocence — it’s about what happens when those sworn to uphold justice fail to meet the most basic standard of competence. Can a DA’s office recover after destroying its own case? Can the public ever trust them again? Tony Brueski dives deep into the paper trail, the disciplinary rulings, and the ethical implosion that turned the first Barry Morphew case into a cautionary tale for every prosecutor in America. Because when justice gets this sloppy, it doesn’t matter who’s guilty — everyone loses. #HiddenKillers #BarryMorphew #SuzanneMorphew #LindaStanley #ColoradoJustice #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #ProsecutorialMisconduct #DisbarredDA #JusticeSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

104 MPH on PCH: Fraser Bohm’s Deadly Joyride That Killed Four Sorority Sisters

104 MPH on PCH: Fraser Bohm’s Deadly Joyride That Killed Four Sorority Sisters

Four young women. One deadly stretch of Pacific Coast Highway. And a single phrase echoing through the courtroom: “Speed is not malice.” In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the case of Fraser Michael Bohm, the 22-year-old driver accused of killing four Pepperdine University seniors in a fiery crash on Malibu’s infamous Dead Man’s Curve. Prosecutors say Bohm’s BMW was flying at over 100 mph in a 45 zone when it struck a row of parked cars, sending them careening into the victims — Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams. Bohm’s defense insists this was a tragedy, not a crime — arguing that “speed alone doesn’t prove malice.” But Judge Thomas Rubinson disagreed, refusing to toss the murder charges and allowing the case to move forward. We unpack the legal fault lines between vehicular manslaughter and implied-malice murder, the psychology of risk and privilege, and what this ruling could mean for every reckless-driving case going forward. Was this youthful arrogance, blind panic, or conscious disregard for life? From courtroom strategy to moral accountability, this is the story of how a split-second decision on one of America’s most dangerous highways became a test case for justice — and a defining moment for four grieving families demanding that speed finally have consequences. 🎙️ Subscribe for daily true-crime analysis and full-length breakdowns of the biggest cases in America. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #FraserBohm #PepperdineCrash #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtTV #VehicularManslaughter #ImpliedMalice #MalibuCrash #JusticeForNiamhPeytonAshaDeslyn Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Melodee Buzzard: How the System Let a Mentally Ill Mom Slip Into Madness With Her Daughter

Melodee Buzzard: How the System Let a Mentally Ill Mom Slip Into Madness With Her Daughter

This is the story that will make you furious — because every step of it was predictable. In this Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examine the disturbing mental unraveling that led to the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard. From the first red flags — school absence, social isolation, and erratic behavior — to the alarming road trip with wigs, fake plates, and a child who never returned, every sign pointed toward a crisis in plain sight. Yet, the law did nothing. The threshold for “imminent danger” demanded proof of harm — even as danger screamed from every corner. Shavaun explains how a person in psychological free-fall can appear “functional” enough to evade intervention, and why families who report warning signs are so often dismissed as overreacting. The false-imprisonment charge that followed weeks later — multiple locks, a box cutter, and an accusation of “violence, menace, fraud, and deceit” — reads like a postscript to the same nightmare. Tony and Shavaun break down not just what went wrong, but how to fix it — legally, clinically, and emotionally — so another family doesn’t have to live this horror in real time. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #TrueCrimePodcast #ChildProtection #MentalHealthCrisis #FamilyFailure #BrokenSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
