Sheriff Stines Snaps: Judge Mullins Murder, Paranoia & the Grand Jury Secrets Revealed | 2025 True Crime

Published by Tony Brueski on January 4, 2026

On September 19th, 2024, the justice system in Whitesburg, Kentucky ruptured in the most shocking way imaginable: Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins’ chambers and opened fire, killing his longtime friend — just minutes after they’d shared lunch. The entire murder was captured on courthouse surveillance, leaving the community stunned and searching for answers.

In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to examine the psychological unraveling behind a sheriff killing a judge on camera. Was this an act of madness? A collapse under pressure? Or something far more calculated?

Just three days before the shooting, Stines had been deposed in a civil case involving allegations of corruption and misconduct inside his own office. Investigators are now asking whether mounting legal pressure pushed him toward a breaking point, or whether he believed silencing Mullins would somehow change his fate.

Bodycam footage captured immediately afterward shows Stines muttering paranoid claims like “you’re going to kill me,” even as he surrendered without resistance. Was this genuine psychosis, trauma, or an attempt to set the stage for an insanity defense?

In the second half, Tony, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and attorney Eric Faddis break down newly released grand jury transcripts revealing that key evidence — including a mental-health diagnosis the day before the shooting — was never presented to jurors. Intake records describing Stines as “actively psychotic,” footage showing visible paranoia, and behind-the-scenes prosecutorial decisions all raise a critical question: was justice compromised before the trial even began?

This is the story of a sheriff’s psychological collapse — and the cracks in a justice system now forced to confront its own failures.

Kouri Richins: What the Defense Strategy Is Really Telling Us - Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Two mistrial motions. Forty prosecution witnesses. A case built entirely on circumstantial evidence. The defense in the Kouri Richins murder trial hasn't shown their full hand yet — but the moves they've already made are saying a lot.Bob Motta and Robin Dreeke step into the panel to break down the defense's strategy from the ground up. Why file mistrial motions in the middle of the prosecution's case? What does fighting for the full retreat journal — not the redacted version — tell us about where the defense thinks their best argument lives? And in a case where the prosecution's own immunity witnesses came in with credibility problems, is that a gift to the defense or a trap?Carmen Lauber was meth-positive when she testified. Robert Crozier signed a sworn affidavit saying the drugs were OxyContin — then reversed course at trial. Both are central to the prosecution's chain of evidence. This panel goes deep on what happens to a circumstantial case when the witnesses anchoring the means evidence are this compromised — and whether the defense can actually capitalize on it.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to the alleged fentanyl poisoning of her husband Eric Richins.
