A 20-year friendship came to a devastating end when the Letcher Co,  Kentucky elected Sheriff, Mickey Stines, shot County District Judge Kevin Mullins – possibly shooting him as many as eight times.  Stines then immediately surrendered to the Whitesburg Police.  The two men worked together on several cases.

According to local media, they worked particularly closely on drug addiction and recovery issues, with Stines working with Mullins to get first-time offenders into rehab.  What lead Stines to commit such a brazen murder in the courthouse – with plenty of witnesses?   

One possible clue is the lawsuit against Stines for not properly supervising a former deputy who pleaded guilty to coercing women prisoners for sex.   

Whitesburg, KY, is a small town – much like everyone’s favorite town, the fictional  Mayberry -- where everyone knows everyone else. But it seems Mickey Stines is no Andy Taylor.  Brad Garrett wants to solve the mystery of this murder.
