Just because he was a Judge? MOO

Judges that commit crimes get prosecuted and convicted. MOO It's not a shield.

As much as one might agree with you, it's really hard to believe that after everything has played out. The public has come up with the idea that Judge Mullins was assulting Sheriff Stines daughter, even after she has come forward and said nothing like that happened. I just find it hard to believe a jury would find him not guilty, considering the rumors that have come out against the judge. I'm my experience judges are not very well liked. Even if they are elected. Never mind the checks and balances in place. Many judges have be convicted by a court of law for alleged crimes. There's dozens currently in the news. Happens all the time. Can't imagine Mullins being any better, especially after his name has been dragged through the mud because of rumors and speculation.

Why would Mullins be acquitted?

Public opinion (as cultivated) at that time. Not as solid now, and the rumors are gaining validity. Judge was not the (white hat) as advertised. Still, I think that the surface has only been scratched. The money, where there is dealing in drugs and sex, there is money. Some exposure of a money trail and it will all come clear.
Maybe Stines has the hole card at trial.
I wonder who; and if a replacement for the judge, is sending the present offenders on the the rehab facility.

Yes, True eventually...
But; it is much harder to do, witness many of the cases playing out now in government. A lot is hyper for political gain, but some of the evidence, (signed applications, actual witness speaking out) cannot be ignored. At the time of the shooting, the judge would have been a saint. Giving all those poor druggies a second chance, and steering them in to a local rehab facility. No jail, get well, near home.. What's to want.. Wait, for trial...
