New details are emerging from grand jury testimony regarding Kentucky Sheriff Mickey Stines alleged murder of Judge Kevin Mullins. The Grand Jury transcripts, released by the court, indicate the Sheriff’s wife and daughter deny having any contact with the judge before the killing.

Also — allegations from the Sheriff’s defense attorney that key components to the Sheriff’s mental health condition were not told to the grand jury that ultimately indicted him.
