In this explosive first half, Hidden Killers Live unpacks the case of Sheriff Mickey Stines — the Kentucky lawman who shocked his community by shooting Judge Kevin Mullins inside his own chambers. Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis break down newly unsealed grand jury transcripts that reveal key evidence was withheld, including a mental health diagnosis the day before the shooting.
The team dissects raw footage of Stines in the courthouse hallway, showing a paranoid, unstable man immediately after the crime. They also examine how the secretive grand jury process may have denied jurors crucial information, why jail intake records describing Stines as “actively psychotic” matter, and how community rumors risk poisoning a fair trial. This segment explores the psychological unraveling of a sheriff — and whether justice itself was compromised before the trial even began.
