Sheriff Mickey Stines: What The Courthouse Knew Before The Shooting

from The Comm Center with Drew Breasy · host The Comm Center

A sitting sheriff was diagnosed with an acute psychological breakdown by his own doctor — 24 hours before he walked into a courthouse and shot a judge nine times on camera. The doctor documented it. The people closest to him had already warned the Kentucky Bar Association. The system had every piece of information it needed to act. And it had no mechanism to do anything with it.This is the complete story of Mickey Stines — from the sextortion ring that started it all, to the 12 minutes inside Judge Kevin Mullins's chambers, to the two hours of body cam footage that sounds like a man who genuinely believed he was being driven to his execution. Active 911 Dispatcher Jon and retired Police Commander Drew Breasy break it down from the inside.
