What Sparked A KY Sheriff To Kill A Judge Who Was His Close Friend?

What would make a sheriff shoot his longtime friend, a respected judge, right in the judge's own chambers? That’s the shocking question at the heart of today’s episode, as we delve into the alleged murder of Judge Kevin Mullins by Kentucky Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines. This isn’t your typical "bad cop" story; we’re talking about two people who were friends, colleagues, even lunch buddies up until the day of the shooting. So, what happened? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the discussion, exploring whether this tragic event could be the result of a sudden psychotic break, the sheriff’s potential delusions, or something much darker and more calculated. We’ll dissect theories, from a possible mental health crisis to wild speculations involving secret motives, as we try to untangle this bewildering case. Did something sinister really lead the sheriff to believe his family was in danger, or is there another explanation entirely? Could it be that something far more ordinary, yet devastating, drove Sheriff Stines to take a life? #TrueCrime #KentuckyMurder #ShawnStines #JudgeKevinMullins #MentalHealthCrisis #PsychoticBreak #TrueCrimeToday Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
