Love Vinnie Polittan! He’s always done a great job!❤❤❤❤
Oh the web they weave 😮
Really fantastic episode!!!! It’s all slowly coming together!!!! Thanx for all your hard work!!! 💙🇺🇸
The judge knew exactly why he was killed!
I've said that since day one. He isn't as innocent as some may proclaim
so you know why the sheriff committed 1st degree murder? a planned execution? you should testify
@@unitedwestand5205 I didn't say that I knew why. I said the judge knew what was up. That's 2 different things.
@@helpingkarma no, you said the judge knew Why he was killed, so you obviously must know the why, you should go testify
@unitedwestand5205 I don't have to know, to believe that the judge understood. In the end what you and I think doesn't make a difference.
I think they are all involved in something they shouldn't be doing.
@@PhillyPaGirl I agree because here in our small town of letcher county Kentucky word gets around and even though we have never heard of sheriff stines doing things like that but several of others there in the judicial system has been known to do some dirty deeds. A well know lawyer is known for his swinger parties and have been doing them for years!!
"How could this happen?"... easy. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY.
Respect for the woman who spoke out against such misogyny!!!
Why is no one talking about the fact that the judge's chambers are kept locked and the judge is the only one with a key. This is important because it shows that the deputy who was sextorting was let into the judges chambers by the judge. The judge was involved and we here in Whitesburg know that the sheriff's daughter was being mentored by the judge because she wanted to go to Harvard law school. We also know that the judge was threatening her and telling her that if she didn't have sex with him he would make sure she never got into any law school. We also know that the judge was trying to set the sheriff up to be the fall guy in the sextortion case.
Finally, a resident has spoken what we the people have been wondering. Thank you!
This makes the most sense thus far.
We need some credible source to share this information, not from some random TH-cam viewer.
Source?
imho The sheriff finding out what was going on then learning his daughter being exploited by the judge he likely did what any father would do.
Priests, judges,Olympic coaches, presidents,scout leaders, teachers, oh my😢💔
This!! Makes you 🤮! Why is it, men have this problem, thinking with something else than their brains?..Very few women have this problem. It's discusting.
Rarely do they face consequences either.
Im starting to wonder if it's just most men.
The bible tells us that our battle is not against other people but the evil spirits that influence those people.
Eph 6:12
@@Ieezecahigh percentage that for sure
You're asking the wrong questions.. WHY was the judge still allowed on the bench after these accusations were known by authorities?!
Maybe they didn’t know?
At any rate, I think the Sheriff found out that day at lunch.
I agree with your question....
It wasn't known, the sheriff found out through investigating his own deputy.
Yes Why
This reminds me of the movie Gothika. Disgusting and evil to be in that place of power and prey on the broken and vulnerable. Sick!
How was the judge allowed to smoke in his office? It’s 2024! Smoking is prohibited almost everywhere!
With all the mess going in those chambers you’re worried about smoking???!
@ just an observation …
It's Kentucky
Who's gonna convict him of a crime? 😂
@rebeccasimpson7527 hey,the judge would let the girls smoke one after they choked one and the inmates also had access to tobacco if they would start grinning and drop their linen cause this Kentucky is OK to Suckee!!
Corruption every place.
Every state, every county, every city .....
Extortion of inmates is insane… These the individuals who are trusted to protect and serve
Paid by taxpayer money too!! Shame!! Lock ‘em all up!!

I would love to see the statements of all the court employee's! Most of them would have been there for years...
a kind of place where everyone is related….
Sure wish officials were held accountable in all towns.
@@rischakmeador186 I’m from this town and treated many clients. All surrounding areas are like this. All these small town places need to be investigated. I tried to stand up, but failed.
@kendallmullins6431 Its almost impossible, they all scratch each other's backs and cover for one another. The fox guards the hen house. 😉
Mickey tried too...I hope he created some positive change.@kendallmullins6431
Anything is possible, there was the judge Malcolm Bronson from Richmond circuit court that abused girls in 2022 with one becoming pregnant and he killed her and her little boy. How sad.
I remember that story. Very sad. Reason why I tend to believe that the judge was involved with the sheriff’s minor daughter.
@@ConversandoconRuthSerrano16 agree 👍
Omg
I think people tend to forget that the commonwealth attorney being the prosecutor of these sextortion charges was the judges brother in law.
So maybe that's why the Judge wasn't prosecuted
Not true! the sextortion case of Ben Fields was prosecuted by the KY Attorney General's Office who appointed special prosecutor & investigators to prosecute Fields-- and NOT the commonwealth brother-in law. The fox doesn't guard the hen house-- not even in KY!
Yesssss. It happens in the surrounding counties.
The trial needs to be removed to another jurisdiction due to the serious corruption in that county.
@@SusanTrelease there no honest county in ky I’ve lived here all my life they are more evil than Hollywood
That's exactly why they want to keep it there
TRUTH!
their corruption died
@@kimmally5970 Did you see the officers who got the call the judge had been shot? One actually scoffed aloud. It had a big sense of we knew this would happen eventually...
Thank God for you good decent men to help us women!!!🙏♥️🇺🇸
It’s sad to me to see the picture of Mickey in his uniform… I am the photographer who took that photo….I took family photos for him and his family that day as well and at the time i was so proud to get to do these photos for Mr Stines and his wife and daughter. These were taken when he was running for sheriff back in 2018 I believe and was displayed on his campaign posters and social media as well as on local news. Never in a million years would I see this photo on national news Mickey now as a murderer, breaks my heart and makes me sad. Mickey and his family are close neighbors of mine and life long dear friends and this tragedy has shocked our little neighbored, town and county as well as the world because this story is now nation wide possibly world wide. The Mickey I see at his hearing videos isn’t the same Mickey I know as a dear friend whose I grew up with since childhood and the neighbor who’s quick to help others out like he and his family did when we made national news for the first time because of our little area getting flooded back in 2022, that Mickey I see now isn’t there…he looks unwell and month back before the shootings happened many of us noticed a change in him then…..the old Mickey was well loved and thought of in the town we live in and that’s the same place where Mickey and his family lives/lived……but back in the flood of 2022 our 2 small bridges which are the only ways out of this little neighborhood got washed out causing us all to be trapped here but thanks to Mickey and other neighbors they built a make shift bridge to get us out so we could get food and help could come in to bring things we needed at that time. The Mickey I knew was an amazing father and devoted husband just like the judge Kevin Mullins was and I knew his family as well but not as well as I do Mickey and his family and it’s blown my mind with wonder of what could of went wrong….i know this awful thing happening does not have anything to do with the judge and the sheriffs daughter because I was told those facts by family to mickeys wife because that was cleared first and foremost…..I wonder if Mickey was doing things like his deputy was in trouble over as well as what they are saying the judge has done….i feel this tragedy happened over blackmail and something was told to mickeys wife that caused them to be upset and leave which is why he said they were trying to kidnap my wife and daughter…..i don’t feel he truly meant someone was trying to kidnap his wife and daughter, we don’t live in a area where people do kidnappings…..I feel maybe the judge may of told something maybe that wasn’t true to get Mickey to not tell what he may of known on the judge and again senseless blackmail that went wrong….no matter what it was a life was taken and this sad tragedy didn’t have to happen. I pray the truth will come out and Mickey will respect his friends and family and the world enough to tell the actual truth as to why he did what he did and I feel in my heart the Mickey I know well who once served and protected his friends and neighbors will have enough respect for us, the world and the family of the judge and his own family to tell the truth. Sorry for the long comment but I’m still in shock and the not knowing is driving us all mad.
You sound like your in denial
@ in denial of what?
This is deep also sad
Are you Jackie Dunn the surfer?? 🏄♂️ Amazing surfing!! 👏👏👏
These men are despicable! Yuck …
Need to be checking in all elected offices. She said the higher ups!
No kidding!
Why would believe her?
@@bobthetitanicwhy wouldn’t they? She said there is a video.
Video evidence@@bobthetitanic
@@pAusten video evidence showing what exactly, acting like you've seen any videos.
One viable hypothesis, in my opinion, is that the sheriff's wife got so mad at him the night before the shooting, that she disclosed something to him which was previously known only to the judge, and that is what tipped off the sheriff that they had been communicating. Perhaps the judge told the wife that the sheriff had been engaging in illicit sex. The wife would not have known that the judge was also, but the sheriff knew (speculation). So then if the sheriff knew that an extortionist judge, with sex motives, was getting close to his wife and daughter, and possibly was setting the sheriff up to be the target of the civil lawsuit, then the sheriff would be emotionally experiencing devastating betrayal from his friend, loss of his child, and the end of long marriage, and the ruination of his career in law enforcement.
Now that is a distinct possibility. I don't believe the victim in this case was so innocent, but nor do I believe the Sheriff was squeaky clean. May have been a lot of mutual finger pointing going on, which culminated in murder.
Sheriff's big mistake was doing it on camera - had he ambushed the judge after dark outside his home, he may have got away with it. The list of suspects would be long!
This sounds like one of the best theories so far.
Dinner is an old time term for the noon meal. The later meal would be called supper.
I’ve been holding off about this case, this was the perfect video to catch up. This case is insane.
I believe the judge will not have this happend in his chamber if he was not involved.
I worked in a Northern Kentucky Courthouse and I can attest that there were cameras in several of the Judges Chambers. They have meetings with Attorneys hearing motions etc. that get recorded and they are used as a security measure.
Must be unique to KY because in State & Federal Courts across the land, Judges have "in camera" hearings in their Chambers to view confidential evidence or hear testimony in private, out of view of the public or media where no cameras are allowed or present. Cameras in the conference rooms, yes, but not in private Chambers. Unheard of!
IMO, the sheriff phoned his daughter from his phone and she didn't answer but when he phoned her from the judge's phone she answered. The sheriff must have found something out.
I think they were apart from the sheriff due to DV and sheriff was helping thats why she didn’t answer when he rang but did on judges phone
He got thrown our day before so i think the judge was helping them and sherriff found out which was just the breaking point
Lol
& watch the desk closely because the judges phone lights up while he's being shot🤔
They was all in on it !
@Vinnie Politan 🌟Happy Holidays to you and yours! 🌟🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🌲🕎❄️☃️🌲🪔✝️🎉🎂☯️🎊🎈🔯🎁🌲⛩️🍷☯️🥂🍾🍻🕉️🌲 from NYC 🍎
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄❤️❄️☃️
And happy new year 🎉
I think they all have a hand it. But the daughter is the key to why the judge is deceased. That was a enraged dad that shot the judge!
Ive waited until you covered this to see whats going on. I knew it would be worth the wait thanks
If I had to guess, I would say it’s all tied together. We will see!
Now it’s all making sense! The sheriff no doubt felt betrayed by the Judge, all of them.
I can't help but wonder if the camera is/was in the Chambers so the Judge could entertain himself when no one was there to entertain him. 🤬
I remember when JD first told this story! I believe what he said!💯🙏🏼🇺🇸
What if the sheriff's statement, "they're trying to take my family away from me" or whatever it was, what if that was just an intentional misdirect?
IMO the sheriff was not the nice person everybody thought, to his family hence the daughter not answering the phone to him. I think the judge helped them. Lot of murky things happening in this department all round!
Nah, he was covering something else the judge knew.
One thing for sure, this case is a nailbiter. Can't wait for the trial.
That was first rumor put out by the other bad actors, it didn't fly. The second was that the Sheriff was mentally ill. Also a no go. A lot of men in that courthouse and town leadership were doing doing disgusting things. I dont know if the sheriff was involved too, but he didn't fix anything if that was the case.
The judge knows all the secrets of the sheriff and Visa versa. The sheriff probably got worried after his deposition with the civil law suit and got worried his wife would find out about what he had done. Could be what happened.
Either he was silenced because he knew the Sheriff was involved or the Sheriff really has no idea and was named in the suit and found out that the ones he trusted were willing for him to take the fall. I'm sure it will all come out soon.
@herrig4568 yes at this point it could be anything
Did he save the Jusge from a horrific scandal while he was alive to face it?
Great video, A+❤❤❤
everyone sleeps with everyone in this small Kentucky town.
Ty vinnie
Ha! For what?
The question everyone wants to know is was the judge sexually involved with the sheriff’s daughter?
According to residents yes, according to the family on the go fund me, no
Great job, tonight.
Little boys in men’s bodies…they never grew up emotionally
Same info as lastnight and last week from you
Dinner can mean lunch and Supper can mean Dinner. You have to understand these people and families have lived in this area for over 100 years. They have pull.
yep, we called the big sunday lunch "dinner".
The judge and the Sherrif.
Sherriff was not involved. While investigating his deputy he learned about the ugliness.
Hello from Mt Sterling KY!❤
This case as far as the public knows is a speculative mess,,
So having s3x with the judge only gets you off an ankle bracelet?? 😂 the only way I would do it if he got me off all charges and bought me a house and a trip around the world!! 😂
well...some people charge a little bit less 🤷
They went after the most vulnerable and desperate, single moms, women who couldn't afford to lose their jobs (you can go to work, hospital visits, school, and the store with an ankle bracelet you just have to tell them in advance, women with drug problems.
It’s sad you’d consider to do it at all in all honesty…. 🤦🏻♀️
She had ex with the cop not judge
All that is in darkness is coming to light.
I hope the victims get attorneys outside of the state.
This case is f’d up from the floor up.
Sheriff is up to his neck in it to
Wonder how many people will come forward that got "A deal" wink wink from this judge?? Humm🤔
Simple - The judge set up the Sheriff as the fall guy in the lawsuit. Hence taking his family from him
The Sheriff was not personally named in the civil suit but in his capacity as County Sheriff. This is typical, part of the job where he's just the point guy to tap the real pocket the victim is after for a cash grab and that's the the County and its Insurance Policy. Also, Sheriff long ago announced before the civil suit filed that he was not seeking a third term as Sheriff.
So a despicable dirty judge sexually abused many young girls and woman but when he went after the sheriff's daughter the father had enough. Not that hard to understand at all.
Agree
He didn't go after the daughter.
It’s sickening to hear that the Sheriff had been extorting women in the same way when he used to be the bailiff. So he’s not the white knight killing off the evil judge, not when he had been doing the same, just to other women.
Sounds like a lot of powerful men in that town need to be looked at.
Well, yes!
Western Justice, taking place right in the court where it belongs. About time. You don't have to "protect" most Americans from seeing such a thing. Show the damn film.
Heiiiii Vinniiii..... 🙏🙏🥰🤪 Love from Danmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
I think the judge has been getting 'benefits' for years..look at his jolly smile, lmao
The Judge should not have moved after the second shot. He might have survived the attempt
If i had to take a guess , the judge was trying to mess with the sheriffs daughter .. , there ,Case Close .. Didn't take a committee too figure it out , 👍🏻 Your Welcome
You’re closing the case based on a guess?
@Gravy_Master yep . Lol an educated guess
Think your wrong. In my opinion, it was a DV case (he was thrown out day before) so i reckon the judge was helping the family and the reason why the daughter Wouldnt answer to the sheriff. With the other allegations, it was just what broke him.
Now it’s all making sense! The sheriff no doubt felt betrayed by the Judge, all of them. The Judge was participating. Sickening!
That sheriff looks off man!
WOW 😮
Great show! Great guests!
Chickens coming home to roost
That judge looks creepy!!😮
Wow what a story cant wait to hear what the details are lol
I have heard that the cameras didn’t go up until the sex case happened … 🤷🏼♀️
So there was someone recording it
Maybe more than one camera
watch a movie come out😮
when does this trial start?
Where is the video evidence now
Killer and victim, judge and sheriff, were both up to their eyes in the sex scandal IMO. No one will emerge from this case with honour IMO.
That place is corrupt as all hell. For that reason, Sheriff Stines' murder trial should be heard in a totally different and unconnected jurisdiction.
Great show by Court TV, but this story is always frustrating, while that central puzzle piece is missing. I sure hope we don't have to wait til the murder trial, to hear the defence story!
The girl in the audio mentioned Chad that had videos of them having s3x. Who is Chad that had the videos?
I don’t hear anyone talking about this case! This is an interesting case!
It’s been one of the biggest cases of the last few months. Everyone is talking about it.
30:26
❓❓❓❓
How can “Sabrina’s” attorney say that he thinks the camera was installed AFTER his filing in representation of “Sabrina’s” case❓❓❓
We just heard HER say she saw videos of Ben AND Judge Mullins assaulting women! Therefore, it only stands to reason that the cameras were there.❓❓❓
At one point Sabrina also said the girl having sex was Chad's girlfriend and Chad took the video of her having sex-- she's an addict with zero credibility making allegations against the Judge! Sabrina's truth was only about what happened to her by pig bailiff Fields which was proven, and Fields plead guilty to. Mullins was never indicted, charged, prosecuted per Sabrina's allegations.
Deserves a medal not jail ..
Wow
The camera was used for blackmailing purposes probably.
@@SCOUT-h3h I still want to know where’s the audio that goes with the video. It’s 2024 and I’m sure they just took it out!
Maybe there is audio and they could just holding on to it
There you go, Tommy. Great stuff.
The way that sheriff walks into that court room...rocking his huge body.
Sounds like the ex sheriff wants to keep the case in that place coz he knows the people know what he knows and the jury will either acquit or find him not guilty.
Doesn't surprise the locals anywhere in southeast KY.
Why do videos that have been released days ago or weeks show up with 7 hrs old kinda like the deceiving click bait crap that people think is ok . Used to this was looked at like lying just so sad how things changing for the bad
Maybe the judge was wanting to ditty with the sheriff and was black mailing him so he would comply... threatening his family
Is smoking indoors still allowed in Kentucky?
That whole system in that town is broken and corrupt they been getting away with it for sooo long it's starting to catch up to them and stress will make you do unthinkable things trust and believe
Hillbilly Crime is brilliant in trying to get to what was happening with the judge etc and these victims
The title of the over redone video should be about cameras not if the judge was involved
I use to like watching Vinnie but now it’s just click bait with rerun rerun rerun
This episode seems the exact same as the last on this same topic
So were they like paying the fees? Or did they have someone from the finance dept in on it?
Maybe the judge and sheriff didn't know about the camera. Could be the judge was being investigated.
No….. that’s is the “People’s” chamber…. That’s the problem with these people, they are public servants but they think they are above the law…..
Never seen this disclaimer before a CourtTV segment. Is this because these accusations are regarding a Judge?
The question is...? Is there, and if so, conncetion between the judge and the sheriff's family
