A former Kentucky sheriff accused of killing a county judge in his chambers two months ago is set to appear in court for an arraignment on Monday. The suspect, Shawn “Mickey” Stines, 43, has pleaded not guilty to the fatal shooting of Letcher County District Judge Kevin Mullins, a tragic incident that shocked their small community.
Stines, who was the county sheriff at the time of the shooting, has since resigned from his position. A grand jury has formally indicted Stines on the charge of murder of a public official, which could potentially lead to the death penalty if he is convicted.
