Kentucky - Judge killed, sheriff arrested in Letcher County courthouse shooting - Sep. 19, 2024 # 3

15:20 mark (first female witness expands on what she found odd about Mickey that day)

This morning Mickey came over to talk to the judge about an EPO (not sure I am hearing this correctly but she is either saying EPO or TPO and if anyone can hear it better please chime in I feel like this is super duper important to the whys of this whole case)

He just seem a little off

Interviewer question: He just wanted to get the judge to sign the EVO or?

Oh no, somebody was coming to drop the order off and ask questions about it or something. But he was just like walking back and forth, walking around. He came back from lunch. The thing I thought was odd was whenever he came back he had his coat on his side.

He was just in normal clothes today, so I didn't even know if he was working, honestly. And you know because he didn't have it when he was first there. But when we came back it was there.

ETA an EPO is an emergency protection order. I suspect this is what gave birth to the Sheriff was asked to leave his home and had not slept at home the night prior rumors. JMO IMO

omg this is all over an EPO that the judge probably signed IMO
throw away the key!

I missed any gun swapping tale. Do recall phone swapping. Please refer me to it.

@OldAce, too late for me to edit my previous post but the talk about the gun swapping starts around minute 10 in the video. Fyi.

i'm not a strong supporter/believer of anyone involved but i don't think stines words meant literal 'kidnapping'. i also think someone's words urged stines in being very worked-up emotionally and mentally during the time before he killed the judge. just to be clear, i don't believe someone encouraged him to kill the judge but rather someone simply prodded his state of mind prior to the shooting. i don't know why i feel this way but i do.

MOO If he had a DV complaint going, then it is probable he was volatile.
And he would easily get triggered by normal interaction or question.

So Mullins signed an emergency order of protection against Stines? That’s what this was about?

Thank you. I thought it was referring to Stines and Mullins swapping guns. That was with a Security officer and Stines. Cleared it up or me.

it beggars belief doesn't it?
murder a longtime friend and co-worker over that ...
now I'm thinking there were probably dv incidents in his past with his wife and daughter
maybe his temper has been a well-kept secret by the townsfolk

very true. yet, i still feel some people knew he was on edge and instead offering help they fueled him. my thoughts on this really don't matter because stines is the one who went into that office -basically with gun blazing - and committed murder.

Well that would actually be a crime if someone intentionally fueled Stines anger, guessing at the outcome.
It seems that would be a family member, someone involved with his home situation, though it seems likely falls short of actual incitement.

*****
Incitement to Murder: This involves encouraging someone to commit a crime they are already inclined to commit. However, to be considered criminal incitement, the encouragement must not be mere advocacy of ideas or expression of belief, but rather involve advocacy of an act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.
