Murder of Judge Mullins Linked to Courtroom Scandal

The murder of District Judge Kevin Mullins by former Sheriff Shawn 'Mickey' Stines in a Kentucky courthouse has unveiled disturbing allegations of misconduct, including claims that Mullins operated the courthouse like a 'brothel.' Witness Sabrina Adkins reported to police that she saw Mullins engaging in sexual acts with women in his chambers and alleged the existence of videotapes documenting such encounters. Adkins, who had previously been coerced into sexual favors by Deputy Ben Fields, suggested a broader pattern of sextortion involving multiple individuals within the courthouse. Stines has admitted to the shooting but pleads not guilty to murder, claiming it was a crime of passion. The investigation continues to explore the connections between these allegations and the motive behind Mullins' killing, particularly given the long-standing friendship between him and Stines. Attorney Ned Pillersdorf emphasized the gravity of the situation, likening the courthouse operations to a brothel.
