Summary
🚨 New and disturbing allegations have surfaced in the case of Judge Kevin Mullins — the Kentucky judge shot and killed in his courthouse chambers by Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines.
One year later, the investigation is no longer just about the murder. It’s about why it happened — and what may have been buried inside that courthouse for years.
In this episode, we uncover explosive new witness interviews. Women are coming forward on camera and on record, describing what they say was a pattern of sexual coercion, retaliation, and courtroom exploitation tied directly to Judge Mullins — and enabled by a system that silenced them at every turn. One woman says Mullins groped her repeatedly while she worked in his office. When she refused his advances, she says he orchestrated criminal charges against her — and told her to turn herself in.
Another witness, already part of a federal civil rights lawsuit, claims she had sex with Mullins in his chambers “more times than I can count” — because she believed it was the only way to stay out of jail and keep her children. That same civil suit, Adkins v. Fields, has already resulted in criminal convictions for another courthouse official — and Mullins’ name is central in the complaint.
All of this came to a head just three days before the shooting, when Sheriff Stines was deposed under oath in the lawsuit. Witnesses say he spiraled in the days after — and then walked into Mullins’ chambers with a gun.
Today, we lay out everything — the surveillance footage, the timeline, the federal lawsuit, the voices of women now refusing to stay silent — and ask: Was this murder the breaking point of a system already cracked by abuse of power?
