The defense team said the mental breakdown occurred when he had to testify about what his subordinate did. Became paranoid that he knew too much and that they were going to kill his wife and daughter.

The video shows that the judge didn't even have the sheriff daughter's phone number. The sheriff is shown looking at his phone to get the number so he could call from the judge's phone.

According to Stines' attorney, Jeremy Bartley, in the several days before the deposition, Stines had become extremely paranoid, sleepless, and worried about the safety of his family.

This is laughably ridiculous. Depositions are not fun, but people endure them every day for a host of reasons. I've done more depositions than I can remember. The ones who truly are paranoid about them usually no-show or lie/obfuscate. They don't murder a judge in his chambers in cold blood.

If that deposition is likely going to skewer you and prove that your organization was running a sex trafficking ring, and possibly that you knew (or should have known) about it, it's enough to make a law man go nuts. I've seen LEO melt for a lot less.

I get that, but it seems like the extent of the civil suit was that one of Stines's underlings committed sexual crimes under color of authority. Was there negligence? Maybe. Gross negligence? Perhaps. Still don't understand why he's lashing out at the judge and not the Plaintiff's lawyer or the people who he thinks have threatened his family.

In the surveillance video taken from Mullins' chambers, a group of people could be seen cordially chatting with the judge for more than 12 minutes before Stines walked into the office and asked everyone to leave.

In the next seven minutes, Stines and Mullins talked privately before Stines stood up and seemingly locked the door of the chambers.

Mullins then handed his phone over to Stines.

After looking through the judge's phone, Stines placed a call to his daughter from the judge's phone that went unanswered before tossing the phone back onto the judge's desk. Stines can be seen in the video typing in his daughter's number while he looks at his own phone for reference of the number. Stines' daughter did not appear to be saved in Mullins' contacts.

He then allegedly stood up, unholstered his pistol, and moved menacingly toward Mullins before opening fire at point-blank range, killing the judge.


Sounds like he thought something was going on with the judge and his daughter. May have not been any truth to it, but it gives a basis for the rumor about his motive.

He clearly snapped from the potentialities associated with being dragged into the sex trafficking.

You can tell it's a focus because his lawyer is trying to spin it as being part of "the courthouse" when it seems only people in the sheriff's department were involved (by the story and lack of claims by his attorneys).

If he knew about the sexual favors and passing around the victims, at best he's losing his job, retirement, etc. and will never be LEO again, and at worst, is going to prison, too.

No one involved in the case is implying that in any way. If that was a possibility, his attorney would have raised the issue. The sheriff believed his wife and daughter were in danger.

According to the suit, Adkins was struggling to find housing and to pay for her GPS ankle monitor when Fields told her he was sure they could "work something out." She alleged that Fields coerced her into sexual activity six times inside Mullins' chambers in return for taking off her ankle monitor while she was on home incarceration, and dropped the fee associated with the ankle monitor.



Reminds me of an offer to get community service reduced.

I love when the dumbest MFs reiterate how dumb they really are. Still incapable of overcoming the false preconceived notion it had anything to do with a sexual relationship between the dead judge and the sheriff's daughter

The reporting on this shite has been terrible.



Sometime before the shooting he went with another guy to deliver food to a disabled person, and they weren't there so he became more paranoid.

This goes back to how confusing the reporting is.

Abuse happens in this judges chambers, allegedly. But from someone with a different name than the judge. And I belive is under the shooter.


They then put a camera in the judges chambers. Now the guy shoots the judge on camera.

I remember the thread when it happened and it seemed the judge sleeping with the sheriffs daughter was universally accepted as the reason the sheriff shot him

When you watch the video, it's easy to think that you see a dirty sheriff doing a hit ordered on a dirty judge. If the judge wasn't compromised in some way, he doesn't throw the sheriff his phone while he chain smokes and supports what may be a 8 cup a day coffee habit based on the stack on insulated cups.

Considering the acts that led to the lawsuit happened inside that same judge’s chambers, I’m gonna go on a limb and say the judge was involved somehow as well. The woman’s attorney said “they were running a brothel out of that courthouse.”

I don’t know how involved the judge was personally. I don’t know whether he was a participant, knew about it, or just had the bad luck of it happening in his office. But it’s odd to imagine the incident(s) happening inside his chambers without his knowledge.

Maybe he was the one pressuring the sheriff to say the right things in his deposition. Or maybe someone else was pressuring the sheriff and he thought the judge had something to do with it. Either way, it’s not terribly difficult to imagine how the judge might be connected to the whole ordeal.

That thread was fueled by copium and gary plauchesque delusions of grandeur just because y'all want it be true doesn't make it so.
