Description
Nearly a week after a fatal shooting in a Kentucky courthouse, the Letcher County sheriff pleaded not guilty to murder after fatally shooting District Judge Kevin Mullins inside his chamber.
According to Kentucky State Police, Letcher County Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines got into an argument with Mullins prior to shooting the judge inside his chambers on Sept. 19.
On Wednesday, Stines appeared in court over Zoom from the Leslie County Detention Center. He was joined by Josh Miller, an attorney from the public defender's office, although the sheriff had yet to hire an attorney nor had he filed a request for a public defender to the court.
