Why did Sheriff Mickey Stines shoot Judge Kevin D. Mullins? That\u2019s the question dominating Letcher County, Kentucky, since September of 2024, when the shocking incident occurred<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately rumors<\/a> began swirling speculating exactly what was behind the crime. We know that Mullins and Stines ate lunch together the day of Mullins\u2019s death. And several other people were in attendance at the business lunch, and one overheard Mullins ask Stines if they needed to meet privately in his chambers. Surveillance video shows Stines, moments before the shooting, using his phone to call someone, then using Mullins\u2019s phone. Both calls were made to Stines\u2019s daughter, and the daughter\u2019s phone number was saved on the judge\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n

According to Stines\u2019s attorney Jeremy Bartley, misconduct allegations against former deputy Ben Fields and Mullins are \u201cgoing to be crucial\u201d in Stines\u2019s defense \u2014 he has pleaded not guilty to murder of a public official. Three days before Mullins\u2019s death Stines gave a deposition in a civil case brought by Sabrina Adkins alleging women under house arrest were extorted for sexual favors in exchange for more lenient treatment. According to the complaint in that case, it all happened in Mullins\u2019s chambers. Adkins\u2019s attorney <\/a>said \u201cIt\u2019s like they were running a brothel out of that courtroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now more people are coming forward with eye-popping stories of what happened behind the scenes in Letcher County. Sarah Davis, a former deputy jailer at Letcher County Jail, told\u00a0<\/strong>NewsNation\u2019s\u00a0Banfield<\/em><\/a> the stories she heard about officials using their positions to have sex with inmates were \u201cnasty and sickening.\u201d Davis said she was aware of Mullins having sex with inmate, \u201cThat\u2019s kind of the thing that everybody in the county knows, but it was confirmed to me after working in the jail, especially after being invited to a party myself.\u201d It was Mullins himself tht Davis says invited her to a sex party, though she declined the invitation.<\/p>\n

My ex coworkers, they come out and even ask me now not to mention it, they\u2019ve, even them participating in the parties themselves. I had had another one ask me to go to another one of Mullins\u2019 get-togethers, and I declined it again because it\u2019s one of those things. I was raised better than that. You know what I mean? If you know, you know in the county, everybody knows. They might not speak on it, they might not want to be involved in it because of the fear of retaliation because there\u2019s so many people that has come out and spoke out about what Judge Mullins has done, even if we\u2019re afraid to speak up on it, we need to, because, is this what we want for our next generation? Is that what we want for our kids, what we\u2019re going through, what our past people have gone through? Do we want that for them? And no, I don\u2019t want that for my daughter. I don\u2019t want that for my son. I want better for them. I want an actual community that\u2019s not based on if you got money and know people, and if you\u2019re willing to get on your knees or on your back. It\u2019s sickening. And I want better for them.<\/p>\n

Tya Adams is also talking about her experience at these sex parties. As detailed by NewsNation, Adams said Mullins \u201cstarted introducing me to his friends, the other lawyers, and we would do sex parties and perform shows and have sex with them for money, things like that.\u201d Asked if she felt she could say no to these encounters, Adams said, \u201cNo, no, and he, they would make sure to make you feel as small and degraded and belittled as possible to take your power away, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams continued, \u201cIt was consensual. But it was the thing that we were so young, and then they used it against us and to destroy our lives later.\u201d And keeping party about the sex parties was expected, \u201cThat was just a given,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd, who would believe it anyway? Because the whole town was doing it. Nobody cares. They\u2019re all swingers. It\u2019s all a big party to them. It was just so normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Davis believes the death of Mullins will lead to many revelations about the abuses of power in the town. Asked what she thought when he heard of the shooting, \u201cA lot of corruption was going to come out. I knew that this was going to be, that was going to be the beginning to set everything aside to make people come in and people\u2019s voices finally be heard. Because even I believe that the sheriff, he either knew something or something was going on that he knew about that we all might not know about, but he was something to protect us.\u201d<\/p>\n
