69 SOUTH

What happens when those sworn to protect and serve become entangled in betrayal and violence? Our latest episode, "Behind the Badge," plunges into the haunting narrative unfolding in Letcher County, Kentucky, where Sheriff Sean Mickey Steins and Judge Kevin Mullins' close alliance met a devastating end. Allegedly, a moment of shocking violence shattered the community when Steins shot Mullins in his chamber, leaving everyone reeling. We pull back the curtain on the sheriff's past, his efforts against the opioid crisis, and the complications stemming from his oversight of a deputy. Through courtroom footage and personal accounts, we seek to understand what drove Steins to such a drastic act, exploring claims of emotional turmoil linked to his family.

But the drama doesn't end there. We also uncover the unsettling misconduct of Deputy Ben Fields, whose manipulative abuse of power victimized vulnerable women like Sabrina and Jennifer. Despite the gravity of his actions, Fields faced minimal repercussions, sparking outrage and questioning the very fabric of justice in Letcher County. We scrutinize the roles of Steins and Mullins amidst these allegations and reflect on how systemic failures enabled such corruption. This episode isn't just about laying bare these injustices—it's a call to action for greater accountability and reform to mend the broken trust in our justice system.
