In a shocking development, Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Stines has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder for the killing of District Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County Courthouse on Thursday. The incident has sent ripples through the small Appalachian community of Whitesburg, home to approximately 1,700 residents. The tragic event unfolded after an argument between Sheriff Stines, 43, and Judge Mullins, 54, just before 3 p.m. local time. According to Kentucky State Police, Mullins was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. Sheriff Stines surrendered without incident following the shooting. Kentucky State Police Trooper Matt Gayheart addressed the community, stating that the killing is an “isolated incident” with no ongoing threat to the public. “Any time a situation like this takes place, especially in a small town, it shakes the very foundation of what the town is and this is no different,” Gayheart told local outlet WJHL. The Kentucky Attorney General's office, led by Russell Coleman, along with Commonwealth's Attorney Jackie Steele for the 27th Judicial Circuit, are spearheading the investigation. Coleman emphasized the commitment to justice, stating on social media, “We will fully investigate and pursue justice.” Governor Andy Beshear also responded to the tragedy, posting on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Sadly, I have been informed that a district judge in Letcher County was shot and killed in his chambers this afternoon. There is far too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow.” The community's reaction has been one of profound sadness and disbelief. Lead county prosecutor Matt Butler recused himself from the case due to personal ties with Judge Mullins. “We all know each other here. ... Anyone from Letcher County would tell you that Judge Mullins and I married sisters and that we have children who are first cousins but act like siblings,” Butler explained. “For that reason, among others, I have already taken steps to recuse myself and my entire office.” Laurance B. VanMeter, Chief Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court, expressed his shock and sorrow, stating, “I am shocked by this act of violence and the court system is shaken by this news.” In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, several local schools were placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure. The temporary closure of the Letcher County Courthouse has added to the community's distress, disrupting the daily lives of its residents. Judge Kevin Mullins was a respected figure in Letcher County, appointed by former Governor Steve Beshear in 2009 and elected the following year. He was renowned for his dedication to supporting individuals in the justice system struggling with substance abuse. Mullins played a pivotal role in developing programs like Addiction Recovery Care, which offers peer support services in the courthouse and has been adopted in over 50 counties across Kentucky. Mullins was also a founding member of the Responsive Effort to Support Treatment in Opioid Recovery Efforts Leadership Team, further highlighting his commitment to community welfare and rehabilitation. As the investigation continues, questions remain about the motives behind the altercation that led to the judge's untimely death.

On April 8, 2008, Quincy Omar Cross was convicted in Hickman County, Kentucky, of multiple serious charges including kidnapping (with an aggravator of murder), intentional murder (with aggravators of first-degree sodomy and first-degree rape), first-degree sodomy, first-degree rape, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence. For these offenses, Quincy was sentenced to life imprisonment without the benefit of probation or parole for capital kidnapping and capital murder. He also received life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for first-degree rape, fifty years for first-degree sodomy, five years for abuse of a corpse, and three years for tampering with physical evidence.The victim, 18-year-old Jessica Currin, was murdered sometime between July 29, 2000, and August 1, 2000. On the morning of August 1, Jessica's body was discovered behind Mayfield Middle School in Mayfield, Kentucky. Dr. Mark LeVaughn, the medical examiner, initially determined that Jessica had died from strangulation and blunt head trauma. However, under cross-examination, Dr. LeVaughn admitted there was no evidence of strangulation, bruising, scratching, or sexual assault. He based his initial conclusion on the presence of a belt found near Jessica's body. A subsequent autopsy by Dr. George Nichols could not determine the cause of Jessica's death, leaving the circumstances of her death unresolved. In February 2001, Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton were charged with murder and related offenses in connection with Jessica Currin's case. However, by February 2003, these charges were dismissed due to discovery violations and missing evidence, which never reappeared during Quincy's trial.Three witnesses—Victoria Caldwell, Vanisha Stubblefield, and Rosie Crice—testified against Quincy and his co-defendants. Victoria and Vanisha had initially identified Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton as the perpetrators shortly after Jessica's body was found. However, their testimonies changed significantly over time, influenced by Susan Galbreath (a self-appointed investigator), the Mayfield Police Department, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation. Their stories varied with each interview and when they testified in 2008. Rosie Crice, who had been coerced by law enforcement into providing false testimony, later recanted her statements in 2008 and was subsequently charged with perjury, serving five years in prison. Since the 2008 trial, all three witnesses have recanted their testimonies, stating that they lied and that Quincy Cross was not involved in the murder. Two of the girls have signed affidavits claiming they were paid for their testimonies and threatened by KBI Investigators.Quincy had two co-defendants, Tamara Caldwell and Jeffrey Burton. Quincy met Tamara in 2002 while he was in jail, through her brother, but did not know her at the time of the murder. He had only seen Jeffrey Burton once, at his trial, and had no prior acquaintance with him. Joe Currin, Jessica's father, maintains that Quincy is innocent of his daughter's murder and is committed to uncovering the truth about what happened.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

He also received life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for first-degree rape, fifty years for first-degree sodomy, five years for abuse of a corpse, and three years for tampering with physical evidence.The victim, 18-year-old Jessica Currin, was murdered sometime between July 29, 2000, and August 1, 2000. On the morning of August 1, Jessica's body was discovered behind Mayfield Middle School in Mayfield, Kentucky. Dr. Mark LeVaughn, the medical examiner, initially determined that Jessica had died from strangulation and blunt head trauma. However, under cross-examination, Dr. LeVaughn admitted there was no evidence of strangulation, bruising, scratching, or sexual assault. He based his initial conclusion on the presence of a belt found near Jessica's body. A subsequent autopsy by Dr. George Nichols could not determine the cause of Jessica's death, leaving the circumstances of her death unresolved. In February 2001, Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton were charged with murder and related offenses in connection with Jessica Currin's case. However, by February 2003, these charges were dismissed due to discovery violations and missing evidence, which never reappeared during Quincy's trial.Three witnesses—Victoria Caldwell, Vanisha Stubblefield, and Rosie Crice—testified against Quincy and his co-defendants. Victoria and Vanisha had initially identified Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton as the perpetrators shortly after Jessica's body was found. However, their testimonies changed significantly over time, influenced by Susan Galbreath (a self-appointed investigator), the Mayfield Police Department, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation. Their stories varied with each interview and when they testified in 2008. Rosie Crice, who had been coerced by law enforcement into providing false testimony, later recanted her statements in 2008 and was subsequently charged with perjury, serving five years in prison. Since the 2008 trial, all three witnesses have recanted their testimonies, stating that they lied and that Quincy Cross was not involved in the murder. Two of the girls have signed affidavits claiming they were paid for their testimonies and threatened by KBI Investigators.Quincy had two co-defendants, Tamara Caldwell and Jeffrey Burton. Quincy met Tamara in 2002 while he was in jail, through her brother, but did not know her at the time of the murder. He had only seen Jeffrey Burton once, at his trial, and had no prior acquaintance with him. Joe Currin, Jessica's father, maintains that Quincy is innocent of his daughter's murder and is committed to uncovering the truth about what happened.https://linktr.ee/UnforbiddentruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Dr. Mark LeVaughn, the medical examiner, initially determined that Jessica had died from strangulation and blunt head trauma. However, under cross-examination, Dr. LeVaughn admitted there was no evidence of strangulation, bruising, scratching, or sexual assault. He based his initial conclusion on the presence of a belt found near Jessica's body. A subsequent autopsy by Dr. George Nichols could not determine the cause of Jessica's death, leaving the circumstances of her death unresolved. In February 2001, Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton were charged with murder and related offenses in connection with Jessica Currin's case. However, by February 2003, these charges were dismissed due to discovery violations and missing evidence, which never reappeared during Quincy's trial.Three witnesses—Victoria Caldwell, Vanisha Stubblefield, and Rosie Crice—testified against Quincy and his co-defendants. Victoria and Vanisha had initially identified Jeremy Adams and Carlos Saxton as the perpetrators shortly after Jessica's body was found. However, their testimonies changed significantly over time, influenced by Susan Galbreath (a self-appointed investigator), the Mayfield Police Department, Kentucky State Police, and the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation. Their stories varied with each interview and when they testified in 2008. Rosie Crice, who had been coerced by law enforcement into providing false testimony, later recanted her statements in 2008 and was subsequently charged with perjury, serving five years in prison. Since the 2008 trial, all three witnesses have recanted their testimonies, stating that they lied and that Quincy Cross was not involved in the murder. Two of the girls have signed affidavits claiming they were paid for their testimonies and threatened by KBI Investigators.Quincy had two co-defendants, Tamara Caldwell and Jeffrey Burton. Quincy met Tamara in 2002 while he was in jail, through her brother, but did not know her at the time of the murder. He had only seen Jeffrey Burton once, at his trial, and had no prior acquaintance with him.

In late August of 2020 the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team attempted to execute search and arrest warrants on a family compound in Johnson Hollow, a heavily wooded and very rural area of Kentucky.  The suspect, who was being sought on potential murder and drug related charges, had hiding locations and weapons throughout the compound and had built a series of hardened firing positions from which to attack officers.  In the 48 hours that followed, the team would have two Officer involved shootings with two different suspects all on the same compound.  This event would stretch the team and its resources to their limits, yet the team rose to the challenge yielding a successful outcome despite almost impossible conditions. This case provides numerous lessons learned and teaching points about rural operations and the dangers of unexpected challenges.  My guests today are Sgt. Heath Ayers and Trooper Logan Smith from the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team.  LinksTwo fatally shot in KSP involved shootings in Knox County | News | thetimestribune.comhttps://www.clayconews.com/news/16719-suspect-fatally-injured-in-2nd-officer-involved-shooting-in-knox-county-ky-victim-in-1st-shooting-identified Books RecommendedFearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown by Eric Blehm - ISBN-13: 978-0307730695On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace by Dave Grossman & Loren W.

He is a he's a fascinating individual.  He works in what we call Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.  We get into that a little bit. It's a pioneering form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It's a little less, I don't know, a little less forgiving in a way.....not as pretty. It forces you to kind of think about your reaction to  antecedents and how you can change your reaction to those....and it would change the outcome quite a bit for you.  As well as working with rational emotive behavior therapy, he's also specializes in EMDR  We've talked about EMDR quite a bit and he, he makes some good points about how he works with the two and how one is more generalized one might be more specific.

At 4am on a winter day in 1993, a 50-year-old man named Joe walked down a dark hallway inside of his farmhouse in Kentucky. As he moved, he did his best to be as quiet as possible, so as not to wake up his wife or son who were sleeping nearby. But when Joe got about halfway down the hall, he happened to look into the family room, and he thought he saw something moving inside. He strained his eyes to see who it was, thinking maybe it was his wife or son, but he just couldn't tell. But as Joe stared into the darkness, he heard the sound of floorboards creaking inside the family room. And then before Joe could do anything, the thing he had seen moving was now rushing straight towards him. Hours later, Kentucky State Police would arrive at Joe's house, and what they would discover there was a monstrous crime that literally had never been committed before in this part of Kentucky.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
