I didn’t put the punctuation comment as criticism in any way so I hope you didn’t take it that way. I put it just to kind of lighten things up a little. We all write things knowing what we are trying to say but sometimes they just don’t come out the way we meant them to be. I’m just as guilty as the next person.
I think; when/if the motive becomes known, there will be a much wider involvement of many others in whatever triggered the shooting. He was faced with something or set of circumstances that he thought the only way to counter them was to kill Mullins. Convoluted scenario, but truth is stranger that fiction. You know; Stines could die while trial pending, and all be moot.
And "should Stines pass" before trial, all would quietly go away as far as the knowledge he gained which drove him to the action he felt compelled to take. Must be a strong incentive.
It wouldn't be the first time... IMO, follow the money. Just sayin...
So true. If you don't know the answer to a question, look for the money. It's often foolproof. JMO.
Some people; when confronted with serious situations, review the facts and consider the options either available to them or obtainable. They decide on one as the solution and proceed to implement it. Sometimes it takes a while to sort thru and weed out the impossible, impractical, or ineffective.
I'm not sure we have any reason to believe he'd be "suicided" in jail.

But if her number was saved under a different name it would not be easily found, however after he typed it in it would show what name it was saved under - just keying in the number doesn’t exclude the daughter’s number being stored already under her own name or a different name- mooFrom same linked article above:
While many have interpreted that to mean the number was saved, two separate law enforcement officials with knowledge of what happened said that is not the case. One, who asked not to be identified, said a security video taken from a camera mounted behind Stines near the ceiling in the judge’s office shows Stines punched in the numbers to dial.
Testimony about phone number of sheriff’s daughter taken ‘out of context,’ sources say - The Mountain Eagle
Two law enforcement sources have confirmed that former Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines did not select his daughter’s number from a pre-saved list on District Judge Kevin Mullins’s phone when he called her just prior to killing the judge. Both say Stines dialed the number before he shot Mullins...
This doesn’t mean it wasn’t saved in the phone- dialing it doesn’t exclude the number being saved- just that he didn’t pick it from a list - which would make sense especially if it was saved under a different name or not obviously listed in recent call log- it’s just the fastest way for him to call the daughter - moo
