What did the sheriff mean when he said, they are trying to take my wife and daughter? That does not sound like the reaction of a father who just found out his child was being abused.
@@fulanichild3138 I agree. I'm starting to think now that the sheriff was doing what the bailiff was and his wife and/or daughter asked the judge and he admitted it or he's voluntary told them about the sheriff. The bailiff works in the courtroom but is employed by the sheriff's office for security and escorting inmates in and out of the courtroom.
And here you are blaming the victim because of the way he looks. He might be a scoundrel in a piece of crap, but we don’t know that for sure. In this country until Trump is elected of course we have a justice system that works pretty well. As soon as that little piece of garbage Cancels, the constitution and then it’s OK for you to accuse people of deserving to be murdered without a trial. That’s coming soon enough, honey, let’s wait until the vile and vulgar man gets elected before we go that direction though.
He looks like a chubby dopey man. I'm not saying he was innocent but what exactly makes him look guilty? I'm willing to bet there are hundreds of thousands of men (if not more) who look chubby and dopey, too. Are they all guilty?
I was 8 in 74 and I went with a friend of my mothers to score some weed in his killer conversion van. I was sitting in one of the captains chairs loving life and I Shot The Sheriff came on. I have never forgot it and everytime I hear that song I think of that night. I'm now 59 it's crazy how music brings me so many great memories. Eric Clapton version.
The sheriff was named in the lawsuit over the $e-x accusations and I think he thought the judge was going to testify the sheriff either knew about it and didn't do anything about it or was going to accuse him of participating in it.
@@BugMill sheriff called his daughter - she didn't answer. He called from judge's phone & she answered - judge was involved in smexx extortion allegedly
@@BugMillI don’t think that is it. The sheriff wouldn’t want to go to prison over something so minor compared to murder. Something more was the motive.
Let's not forget that the conversation between the judge and sheriff in the chambers was overheard by witnesses outside of the chambers, We won't know until during or possibly after the trial, what those witnesses heard. To go along with that is the group chat that the sheriff was in that investigators believe to be pertinent to the case. A big question is, did state investigators preserve evidence that is useful to the defendant? take a look at the I75 shooting investigation, the shooters body was found very, very, very near to where he shot from. Not by the massive police search team, but by a retired sheriff and his wife 11 days after the shooting in an area 'cleared' by investigators. KSP never gave a single reassuring statement to the public, neither they nor the media EVER disclosed the actual search area as far as which side of I75 police were searching. I followed the case closely because my wife and I had a trip planned that involved us being in the London and Corbin area just four days after the shooting that was supposed to have us stay in the area for 2 days, it also had a planned stop at exit 49 where the shooting occurred. The judge was shot the day we headed back through Kentucky on our way home to Pennsylvania. Our trip down still took us down I75 during the "active manhunt" yet we didn't see a single KSP vehicle at any time along I75. Absolutely ZERO police presence. It's a backwards state.
It had nothing to do with the sextortion case. The judge was helping the sheriff's wife and daughter leave him due to DV. This is why the sheriff claimed that they were kidnapping his family after he shot the judge.
I agree this seems right to me. We knew the family kicked him out. We knew the daughter would not answer the phone. But she answered the phone. I don’t think this judge is involved in the scandals. No way would police ignore this when they had Fields- police saw the videos.
It would be crazy if he found out the judge was sexuallu assaulting the sheriff daughter. He is a sheriff he knows he is going to be locked up forever, so he knew he was giving up his freedom, so whatever the judge did must have been really bad
Yeah man, it’s getting crazy. I’m thinking his daughter has to be involved with the judge as well, but, is it worth it to throw your entire life away vs letting the law take over and prosecute the judge for his wrong doings? It’s all insane!
From what I recall, early in the case, the cameras were placed in the Judge's chambers after the incident with the bailiff. Thankfully, the cameras were there to prove what happened.
But then I hear there is a video of the assault before allegedly . ...that started the investigation... Now the judge is also involved.locals say sheriff knew about itan never said anything till his daughter became involved in the scam allegedly .I don't know if she was maybe pulled over or in contact with the police ? An well you know ? No record of her arrest allegedly ???
That county just went 81.2% for trump. And that's exactly why the sheriff wants his trial to be held there: he knows the people who live there have no respect for the rule of law, and will let him off.
CYA. In this country you’re innocent until a jury of your peers finds you guilty. Court TV network doesn’t want to be sued or mess up cases by “ convicting” people who are still presumed innocent. Democracy rocks when it works.
He had no choice. Several complaints were made on the judge but Mullins was the only judge in the county and no other neighboring judges would grant the sheriff a warrant for Mullins. Of the 3 women that testified in the SA case, one is dead and another is in jail. When someone becomes "untouchable" you have to take care of yourself.
@CourtTV please move your banner that's across the TV to the bottom so you aren't loosing half the picture. It's really bugging when you show pictures/live from the court and we can only see the top half of the stuff they show.
Thinking logically, why would he end the judge?. The judge may have had something on the sheriff, or he did something that angered the sheriff and he lost control and shot him. Conclusion, they are probably really bad people
Not every one but it's way too often. Often in small towns the Sheriff and the Judge are going to be top of the power structure because there's no one around that they answer to.
@jameslomenzo1139 yeah I know. I worked in our local Sheriff's Office and we had to do yearly state audits on our canteen funds account but our State budget was all ran through the county administrator's office so I didn't have to do much with that one. I was referring to the day to day activities and stuff like the ankle monitors. The one's that were used on our inmates was contracted by an individual through a private company. The state had nothing to do with the money portion of the monitors. Their's was probably the same way. That's why the baliff was able to get by with it for so long.
I think it's interesting that none of the families involved in this are speaking to anyone. I think the wife and daughter of the Sheriff know exactly why he shot the judge.

Really hope their investigation into ARC leads into this. Some commentators have speculated it already has with the DOJ. Too politically charged for them to actually do anything, like before.
You’re from Finland so you probably can’t grasp the basic idea that the system in the US was set up originally to over punish blacks and to make it impossible for them to not be in prison where they’re treated like slaves again. It’s written into the 13th amendment. It’s what CRT is about. That so many of our laws were written intentionally to publish blacks. Now they affect a lot more people but especially still the poor and the black people. Everyone in America knows this. This is why they’re constantly trying to justify the outcomes.
Is the camera visible? Could the cameras have been there as part of an investigation unbeknownst to them? Cameras are so undetectable sometimes, maybe even one of the victims or an employee who suspected these things?
@garnetandgold07 But it's not true. 😂 That was true for our great grandparents. We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner or supper. No one took dinner pails to school for lunch 😂
Vinneeeeeeeeeeey! You are and always will be my very favorite! I’ve known you for years and have always admired your passionate take on the law. This is such a bizarre story, but I know you’ll get to the bottom of it! Have a great holiday!
Seems like they were having a stressful conversation and he told him he was going to kill him so he needed one last smoke. They use to do that back in the day out of respect for the victims last wishes. Idk. This town is so old fashiony It could also be that the new law from 10+ yrs ago haven't hit them yet.😂 Also, the smoking bad could be state wide or local. I'm guessing in this city it's local and they could still smile in the workplace.
Small town Sheriff's office's and courthouses aren't like it is in the big cities. Often they basically do whatever they want because there's no one around that they answer to. I live in Virginia about seventy miles from where this happened and things are much more laid back in small towns but it's also much easier for stuff like what went on here to happen.
And that’s why the daughter didn’t answer her father’s phone but did answer the judges. Sheriff was about to lose his family and his career. He had nothing to lose, he was going to be found guilty and sent to jail anyhow.
The judge was caught on video smashin' women in his chambers. That's not very judgy. I think they got a rampant, boinkin' problem in letcher County. It seems like half the County is running around, pump and dumpin' like a meme coin opening on Friday morning. The other half is laughing their buts off and wondering wth is going on in their crazy town. They need to check the town's water for viagra.
@@kristinewhitfield4110 did not know that, thanks for the info. I still think it possible that they were trying to get a restraining order against him…
I believe sheriff and family were having issues, possibly DV, and Judge recommended someone to help wife and children escape to a safe place for abuse to stop. That’s why Sherriff thought they were kidnapping/taking his family.
Hello Brother Vinnie !!!! Good day to you and thank you so much for all you do to bring this horrific story to us !!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cody Thomas is top notch in my book. A true gem at court TV. I hope he is compensated well and stays with court tv for years and years. I love when he comes onto the show!
I keep reading the theories about the sheriff’s daughter being involved in some way. What if the judge was having an intimate relationship with the daughter, or either the sheriff’s wife. I also read that the sheriff and his wife had a blowup the night before and the sheriff was put out of his house, and that’s why he didn’t have on a uniform. What if, while they were at lunch, the sheriff saw a text or call from either his wife or his daughter come up on the judge’s phone - that might have triggered the question from the judge about going back to his chambers to talk. Then the sheriff just lost it, and shot the judge in the heat of the moment. That would also explain the sheriff’s comment right after the shooting that he (I assume he meant the judge) was trying to take away his wife and daughter. I don’t think the shooting had to do with the other case - that doesn’t seem like enough to make the sheriff snap at the moment when he did. However, protecting his daughter or being angry that his friend was having a relationship with his wife would sure do it.
My question is why, after the judge was credibly accused of being involved in this sex scandal, there was no investigation? Who made the decision to cover it up? As to the cameras in the judge’s chambers, it’s been explained on several occasions that the cameras were installed AFTER the deputy was arrested and it was determined that the assaults took place in the judge’s chambers. How is it that I know this and you guys don’t?
It could've been the 2nd 3rd 4th... camera that had been placed in those chambers & all we know about is the 1 that was installed after Ben Fields! Maybe the creepy judges tape library will have years of sextortion tapes inside his fake books! The creepy judge might've even told stines he has tapes of stines doing the same thing when he was bailiff & that he was ready to show stines wife as a form of hush up & take your punishment blackmail, or maybe the creepy judge told stines that he & or other higher-ups had been with stines wife & or daughter & he had the tapes to prove it! Or maybe stines knew nothing about what was happening & when creepy judge allowed stines to be implicated in court as if stines should've been the babysitter to BF, but he wasn't, so then those lawsuits came directly at stines after the BF trial, which had ruined stines life, career, bank account & retirement, & it all upset & angered stines 🤔 Who knows if all of the facts will come out, but something sure sets stines off to make him so upset & or angry, to want to kill the creepy judge! Imo BF is the key, has answers & he needs an immunity deal to talk about all of it in court !
When I grow up I want to be a writer for this guy here it would be the easiest job in the world because all you have to do is establish one sentence and then just keep having him repeat it over and over... And over.
Funny that, because the tiny number if men built like these creeps I have had the misfortune of seeing naked, had teeny tiny....this n that's. Nothing deep happening in those chambers lol
He's pleading not guilty in a murder that was clearly captured on video? Then he needs to explain why this happened, and what role (if any) did his daughter have in this situation 🤔
I have been waiting for this! Thank you Vinnie, as usual you ask all the right questions.😉 And I agree, there is still more here we don't know. Small towns can be really bad when it comes to corruption. REALLY bad. I'd bet there are a lot more women. I'd also bet there are more perpetrators than just the baliff and judge. It's all going to come out now though. They can't hide anymore.
Just look at that judge's facial expression, those eyes. Sly. Secretive. Dodgy-looking. He was up to something. Allegedly turning his court into a brothel. We'll know soon enough.
The camera in the judge's office was explained long ago. Because of the lawsuit about the sexual misconduct, the town, or county, decided to put a camera in his chambers to prevent this from happening again. Because the misconduct occurred when the judge was not in his chambers, they wanted to make sure that no one could get away with this again. Kind of surprising you did not know this. I saw this on several different videos. They had officials explain why the camera was there.
As much as the sheriff appeared to want to judge completely dead...may mean the judge had something on the sheriff he was going to expose (whether true or not). The judge may have been throwing his seniority in the sheriff's face.
I'd like to bet that there are several public figures in that community who are TERRIFIED about what the defense will expose.

😮 in a very disturbing way the song keeps on popping into my head "I shot the sheriff......"😮
that is how a judge in tn. got caught. He video tape his sexual act with women who were arrested... He went to prison
Why isn’t the FBI involved in this investigation?
Really hope their investigation into ARC leads into this. Some commentators have speculated it already has with the DOJ. Too politically charged for them to actually do anything, like before.
Wouldn’t be in their jurisdiction.
@esk2g
Every state has its own FBI bureau.
@ huh?
The FBI only focus on crimes that cross state lines, Then it become a federal matter, Hence the F in FBI.
Vinnie, please bring Court TV back to television!!!!
there is an app for it, if you have a smart tv or player. Free!
That's true. I just really miss it on TV too.😊
@@NeveahGrace420wow, I haven't watched TV in a decade. I didn't know people were still watching.
It is still on. I get it using my antenna tv.
It's on Hulu
What is the point of forcing these ppl to pay for their ankle monitor while it’s obvious that these ppl are penniless and prone to abuse.
You’re from Finland so you probably can’t grasp the basic idea that the system in the US was set up originally to over punish blacks and to make it impossible for them to not be in prison where they’re treated like slaves again. It’s written into the 13th amendment. It’s what CRT is about. That so many of our laws were written intentionally to publish blacks. Now they affect a lot more people but especially still the poor and the black people. Everyone in America knows this. This is why they’re constantly trying to justify the outcomes.
Stines is not a judge he just said they sued Judge Stines which is wrong it’s Sheriff Stines.
One minute, in several previous shows on this case NO ONE has questioned the CCTV Cameras in the chambers. I thought it was normal? 🤷🏽♂️
Is the camera visible? Could the cameras have been there as part of an investigation unbeknownst to them? Cameras are so undetectable sometimes, maybe even one of the victims or an employee who suspected these things?
The detective did mean to say dinner. In Kentucky and a lot of other states dinner=lunch, supper=dinner.
Thanks for that. So many of us wish to comprehend the hillbilly ways... 😂
Jerry Seinfeld or Larry David came up with Linner at 3 Lunch and Dinner.
@@garnetandgold07😂😂😂😂 stop it! I'm surprised they didn't say supper!😂
@garnetandgold07 But it's not true. 😂 That was true for our great grandparents. We have breakfast, lunch, and dinner or supper. No one took dinner pails to school for lunch 😂
This is very accurate.
Vinneeeeeeeeeeey! You are and always will be my very favorite! I’ve known you for years and have always admired your passionate take on the law. This is such a bizarre story, but I know you’ll get to the bottom of it!
Have a great holiday!
This case is absolutely unreal… and I’m sure this only the beginning of what will be coming out. Wow.
My question is... why is he smoking indoors?
Seems like they were having a stressful conversation and he told him he was going to kill him so he needed one last smoke. They use to do that back in the day out of respect for the victims last wishes. Idk. This town is so old fashiony It could also be that the new law from 10+ yrs ago haven't hit them yet.😂
Also, the smoking bad could be state wide or local. I'm guessing in this city it's local and they could still smile in the workplace.
Small town Sheriff's office's and courthouses aren't like it is in the big cities. Often they basically do whatever they want because there's no one around that they answer to. I live in Virginia about seventy miles from where this happened and things are much more laid back in small towns but it's also much easier for stuff like what went on here to happen.
@@Quantum_GirlE because Mullins is a cocky ass.
I think there’s a lot more to be worried about than that
And why is he shooting indoors…
Has the sheiff had a psych eval? Are you'all sure the sheriff didnt have a psychotic breakdown?
Getting to the "why" is going to take forever....
The wife and daughter wanted to get away from the abusive Sheriff and the judge was going to help them.
And that’s why the daughter didn’t answer her father’s phone but did answer the judges. Sheriff was about to lose his family and his career. He had nothing to lose, he was going to be found guilty and sent to jail anyhow.
The judge was caught on video smashin' women in his chambers.
That's not very judgy. I think they got a rampant, boinkin' problem in letcher County. It seems like half the County is running around, pump and dumpin' like a meme coin opening on Friday morning. The other half is laughing their buts off and wondering wth is going on in their crazy town. They need to check the town's water for viagra.
They have been behind him supporting him at all his court hearings so I don’t think that’s right
@@kristinewhitfield4110 did not know that, thanks for the info. I still think it possible that they were trying to get a restraining order against him…
Hi Julie, this one is a little bit crazy until we find out the motive. We'll be watching.
You didn’t listen to the whole interview. She says the name of the man who has the tapes and says the sheriff is in one of those tapes.
She said Ben had the tapes and that Judge Mullins was having relations.
She said they say he’s involved but she don’t know.
Thanks for covering this shocking case Vinnie! ❤😮
I believe sheriff and family were having issues, possibly DV, and Judge recommended someone to help wife and children escape to a safe place for abuse to stop. That’s why Sherriff thought they were kidnapping/taking his family.
I don’t think that’s it
All of this is so very weird!
This is such a crazy story. Thank you for covering this story!
-Jana (Grizzly True Crime follower) 😊😊😊
Yes! She should cover this one
@jackie_byfaith Do we just tag her to get her attention? @grizzlytruecrime ?!?
Not shocked, not even a little.
Dinner = Lunch, Supper = meal after 5pm.. This is Appalachia after all.
Hello Brother Vinnie !!!! Good day to you and thank you so much for all you do to bring this horrific story to us !!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This goes on more than we know, including with shady judges. People constantly prey on vulnerable people; it's the way of the world, sadly.
I would think that more ppl use cameras with the last 10 yrs
Not if they really have things to hide!!
Cody Thomas is top notch in my book. A true gem at court TV. I hope he is compensated well and stays with court tv for years and years. I love when he comes onto the show!
That judge looked like Stefan King and Seinfeld had a baby
So funnnnny. Thanks
THE SHERIFF BECAME THE JURY THE JUDGE AND THE EXECUTIONER THAT DAY HOW ROLES CHANGE
I keep reading the theories about the sheriff’s daughter being involved in some way. What if the judge was having an intimate relationship with the daughter, or either the sheriff’s wife. I also read that the sheriff and his wife had a blowup the night before and the sheriff was put out of his house, and that’s why he didn’t have on a uniform. What if, while they were at lunch, the sheriff saw a text or call from either his wife or his daughter come up on the judge’s phone - that might have triggered the question from the judge about going back to his chambers to talk. Then the sheriff just lost it, and shot the judge in the heat of the moment. That would also explain the sheriff’s comment right after the shooting that he (I assume he meant the judge) was trying to take away his wife and daughter. I don’t think the shooting had to do with the other case - that doesn’t seem like enough to make the sheriff snap at the moment when he did. However, protecting his daughter or being angry that his friend was having a relationship with his wife would sure do it.
Judge done downloaded some Diddy Data😂😂
My question is why, after the judge was credibly accused of being involved in this sex scandal, there was no investigation? Who made the decision to cover it up?
As to the cameras in the judge’s chambers, it’s been explained on several occasions that the cameras were installed AFTER the deputy was arrested and it was determined that the assaults took place in the judge’s chambers. How is it that I know this and you guys don’t?
Vinnie !!! What do you mean why would you put a camera in your chambers ? You already know that the cameras haven’t always been there.
Not "legit" ones. Cell phones, cam corders...
It could've been the 2nd 3rd 4th... camera that had been placed in those chambers & all we know about is the 1 that was installed after Ben Fields!
Maybe the creepy judges tape library will have years of sextortion tapes inside his fake books!
The creepy judge might've even told stines he has tapes of stines doing the same thing when he was bailiff & that he was ready to show stines wife as a form of hush up & take your punishment blackmail, or maybe the creepy judge told stines that he & or other higher-ups had been with stines wife & or daughter & he had the tapes to prove it!
Or maybe stines knew nothing about what was happening & when creepy judge allowed stines to be implicated in court as if stines should've been the babysitter to BF, but he wasn't, so then those lawsuits came directly at stines after the BF trial, which had ruined stines life, career, bank account & retirement, & it all upset & angered stines 🤔
Who knows if all of the facts will come out, but something sure sets stines off to make him so upset & or angry, to want to kill the creepy judge!
Imo BF is the key, has answers & he needs an immunity deal to talk about all of it in court !
Feels like a Reality Show Vinny👍🏽🤣😂
None of this makes the judge less dead...
The shenanigans boiled to a pop!
The sheriff found out who was losing his life, pension, etc. And he shot that judge because he was the higher up.
Sherrif is an elected position. No the judge. Try again.
I really like the lawyer of the abused woman. He is calm and collected but tells things straight
He didn't answer Vinnie's question , where all of his clients under judge Mullins or no
Literally under Judge Mullins it seems
@@Sfhakrn😂🎉
Im really praying this trial is livestreamed i cant wait to watch💯
When I grow up I want to be a writer for this guy here it would be the easiest job in the world because all you have to do is establish one sentence and then just keep having him repeat it over and over... And over.
Sick stuff
This man is a good lawyer and person.
The sheriff most certainly did shoot the Judge. We all saw it go down. Sickening!
What a mess! These old farts extorting these young women is nasty!
Why is INTEGRITY SO DIFFICULT???
I was always curious about this. Thanks!
What goes on in County & City Governments would blow most peoples minds.
Here’s Vinnie!
It goes very DEEP.
frightening deep !!!
Funny that, because the tiny number if men built like these creeps I have had the misfortune of seeing naked, had teeny tiny....this n that's. Nothing deep happening in those chambers lol
This has Murdaugh vibes written all over it.
The judges official picture gives me the creeps😖
*FACT: Every Person, (18+) in this KenTucky Town, "DID" Vote for DonaLd Trump!!!!*
this judges face reminds me of one of the Clowns from Killer Klowns from Outer space.
He's pleading not guilty in a murder that was clearly captured on video? Then he needs to explain why this happened, and what role (if any) did his daughter have in this situation 🤔
I’m sure they will but that is for the trial not the press.
Maybe the Sheriff was silencing a witness? (Not saying the judge was innocent)
I have been waiting for this! Thank you Vinnie, as usual you ask all the right questions.😉
And I agree, there is still more here we don't know. Small towns can be really bad when it comes to corruption. REALLY bad. I'd bet there are a lot more women. I'd also bet there are more perpetrators than just the baliff and judge.
It's all going to come out now though. They can't hide anymore.
Judge looks like Jimmy Kimmel.
The judge messed with the wrong one. FAFO
Looks like a bullet hole in the metal door behind the Defense Attorney... This is such an odd story... Thanks Vinnie... Love you man
Just look at that judge's facial expression, those eyes. Sly. Secretive. Dodgy-looking. He was up to something. Allegedly turning his court into a brothel. We'll know soon enough.
The camera in the judge's office was explained long ago. Because of the lawsuit about the sexual misconduct, the town, or county, decided to put a camera in his chambers to prevent this from happening again. Because the misconduct occurred when the judge was not in his chambers, they wanted to make sure that no one could get away with this again. Kind of surprising you did not know this. I saw this on several different videos. They had officials explain why the camera was there.
At 39:52 Vinnie is shook. 😂
Seriously, his mouth dropped 🤣 I don’t think he had any idea that was coming out tonight
I live in SW VA about an hour from this town in KY. It’s so unusual for things like this to happen around here and it’s just astonishing!
😂😂😂😂 yeah right! Hillbilly hick towns are legit some of THE MOST CORRUPT! 😂😂
As much as the sheriff appeared to want to judge completely dead...may mean the judge had something on the sheriff he was going to expose (whether true or not). The judge may have been throwing his seniority in the sheriff's face.
Hi Vinny! Catching a live finally! This case is riveting! 😮
