"When he was taken into custody I was told by one of the other officers there that he said They are trying to kidnap my wife and kid"
Yeah, nah. In my opinion, people who shoot someone eight times don't get a pass because they had an emotion. Especially people who know the law and represent the law and carry a service weapon.
MOO
Yes. There’s no question that Stines committed the killing, so all they can do now is try and mitigate the punishment for it. It’s the difference between life in prison and a couple decades.I think manslaughter is already being mentioned because the defense knows the video will be unbeatable. Even tho lawyers can be quite creative with explanations I think this is over for Stines.
yep confirmed judge had Stines daughter's number in phone as we saw officer testifying to in the hearing. Didn't confirm or deny anything else. refused to confirm or deny what the nature of any relationship might be if one does exist. Simply referred to having questions just as the public does as to the reasons for that. Also refused to discuss if the daughter is a minor and says you can figure that out without my help basically.Basically, he doesn't want to comment.
And to be fair we don't really know that his motive was from any sort of logical point of view. There is a possibility there are non-criminal reasons that the judges phone number might be on his daughters phone without the Sheriff's prior knowledge.Yes.

He's very calm about it as well in my opinion, look at how he moved the chair out of his way. I don't know what I expected but that wasn't it. Jmo.And, it wasn't just like he stood up & unloaded his weapon. He moved around both sides of the desk as Judge Mullins tried to duck away. So he was hunting his prey, imo.
As I said, this was a straight-up execution. Imo.
so now two versions of this statement being reported. first was "he took my wife and kid". now "they are trying to kidnap my wife and kid" who stated this, was it in the hearing? Wondering if I fast forwarded past it. TIA"When he was taken into custody I was told by one of the other officers there that he said They are trying to kidnap my wife and kid"
His non-answer was an answer. If the daughter wasn’t part of the motive, I believe he would have firmly shot it down. He did not.yep confirmed judge had Stines daughter's number in phone as we saw officer testifying to in the hearing.

(FYI she is reported to be 17 but I don't have a link handy so IMO MOO). Age of consent is 16 in KY but does have a qualifier that it is not cool if the adult involved is more than 10 years older than the young person.
Didn't realize that KY's death penalty was suspended in 2009.Yes. There’s no question that Stines committed the killing, so all they can do now is try and mitigate the punishment for it. It’s the difference between life and prison and a couple decades.
Kentucky technically still has the DP on the books, though it's been well over a decade since they executed anybody.Yes.

Good question. I'm curious about that, too.Would MS have been tested for drugs/alcohol/etc. when he was arrested?
Yes, this. I agree.His non-answer was an answer. If the daughter wasn’t part of the motive, I believe he would have firmly shot it down. He did not.
His wrists were shackled, not sure about his legs. IMO.Former Letcher Co. sheriff appears in court
Mickey Stines is charged with the murder of Kevin Mullins.www.wymt.com
So defendant is not wearing any handcuffs or any shackles??? Is that correct?
I'm not clear on whether he's wearing any restraints. TIA
There's a new sheriff in town.
Thank you! No one on STS brought up that the Sheriff said he was afraid or feared that “they’re trying to kidnap my wife and daughter”. Holy Mary!Per Stamper, Stines only said "treat me fair".
I heard something about "they're trying to kidnap my wife and kid", what on earth???
I don't know what his client has or hasn't told him. JMO This was a prelim hearing. The questions he asked lead me to believe that is what he was fishing for, confirmation that some sort of reason for the murder exists and the daughter is it. But that may just be because that is what Stines has suggested to him or the evidence thus far has suggested. I don't know that anything inappropriate has happened.His non-answer was an answer. If the daughter wasn’t part of the motive, I believe he would have firmly shot it down. He did not.
