Ex-sheriff Shawn 'Mickey' Stines tries again to remove judge from case
Judge Christopher Cohron previously denied a request from Shawn 'Mickey' Stines that he recuse himself from the murder trial.

WHITESBURG, Ky. (Court TV) — Less than a month after his original request was denied, former Letcher County Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines is fighting to have the judge removed from his case.
[..]
Now, Stines has filed an affidavit with the court, saying, in part, “It is my belief that I will not be afforded a fair and impartial trial or pretrial proceedings by Judge Cohron and seek the designation of a special judge pursuant to KRS 26A.020.”
The Kentucky law referenced in the affidavit allows for either party in a case to file an affidavit seeking a new judge if they feel they cannot get a fair trial.
