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...

Marking things, I find very important and worth of thoroughly investigation - if possible at all (but unfortunately wouldn't be, I'm speculating). Families, relationships and careers will probably be broken at the end., although MS put a giant (and sad) STOP to it. MOO + MOO + etc.

Little side note here on a former employee, whistle blower, and now in trouble herself... Per the Mountain Eagle.

Woman featured in national reports about Stines case faces drug charges - The Mountain Eagle

“I was raised better than that,” she told NewsNation Reporter Brian Entin on the Ashley Banfield show.

But records show Davis worked at the jail for two months and was fired for inappropriate phone calls with an inmate. She later lived with the inmate. Now, she has been arrested in Knoxville, Tennessee, on charges related to fentanyl and multiple other drugs, as well has a weapons charge.

Same.

But as pointed out to me, often those with drug problems and creditability issues tend to be picked as victims for just those reasons....

Anyway

Imo, also had issues with her credibility because she said she worked there two months, that's not very long, then combine it with her being the one who was having inappropriate brothel like behavior with an inmate!! Wow.

and while I get that, this woman wasn't a drug offender at the time she was describing in her tales to reporters. She was at the time she claims the "sex parties" were happening, a jailer, not someone who was involved with drug court over her own usage.

Now it comes out that she was only a jailer for two or three months and was fired from that position because of her relationship with an inmate. All of that combined tells me she is not a credible person.

I completely agree. You're exactly right.

Something was definitely going off on the old hinky meter with us and she was the most credible at the time of the article.

Well said.

Does make me wonder how carefully Entin/ NN screened SD might have screened their sources, including "former Letcher County Deputy Jailer SD," before releasing that series.

I've been following Brian Entin's coverage of this case for the most part Brian Entin

I think the overall impression he's giving without coming right out and saying it literally is that regardless if any of these on-camera witnesses appear credible, is that rumors & knowledge of this sort of open secret sex for favors trading and parties is something a LOT of people are/were aware of. I find him credible, even if sadly some of these women don't seem credible due to whatever other issues they've got going on.

I can appreciate that, but for me, his credibility (on this case anyway) hinges on the credibility of the guests he chooses. But that is JMO

Then a prosecutor could not charge a case where the witnesses have a checkered past. Some of the highest profile convictions have come from lower echelon participants in a crime. There are very few people breathing today who have never told a lie, slanted the facts to improve a position, or just decided to get theirs while an opportunity was open. It is a human trait.
