Sheriff Stines & Judge Mullins EXPOSED Murder & Corruption REVEALED This is the full breakdown of one of the most shocking scandals in recent memory: the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins by Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines — and the avalanche of allegations that followed. On September 19th, 2024, Stines shot Mullins inside his chambers, just minutes after sharing lunch. The killing was caught on courthouse surveillance. But the story didn't end there. It only began. In the aftermath, women came forward alleging Judge Mullins coerced them into sexual encounters in exchange for leniency, custody, or freedom. One victim, Tia Adams, told NewsNation she had sex with Mullins “countless times” and described it as humiliating and impossible to refuse. Then came the jailhouse revelations. A former guard claimed the local jail operated like “a brothel” — with guards and supervisors allegedly exploiting inmates, rewarding them with cigarettes or commissary for sex. She alleged Judge Mullins himself invited her to sex parties with higher-ups. In this extended episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, I'm joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to break down the psychology of coercion, the normalization of corruption, and the devastating impact on victims and communities. We also ask: Was Sheriff Stines protecting himself, or lashing out against a system he knew was rotten? This is the full story — murder, scandal, and the deep questions about whether justice can survive in a system accused of betraying its own people. #SheriffStines #JudgeMullins #ScandalExposed #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #Corruption #JailhouseExposed #Whitesburg #SexForFavors #TrueCrimePodcast   Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jail Guard Speaks Out: Judge Mullins Invited Me to Sex Parties The courthouse may not have been the only place corruption thrived. A former jail guard told NewsNation's Brian Entin that the Letcher County jail was “basically a brothel.” She alleged supervisors took inmates home, guards pressured women, and Judge Mullins himself invited her to late-night “parties” with other higher-ups. Other allegations claim inmates were rewarded with cigarettes, commissary, or extra time outside their cells in exchange for sex. These claims, while unproven in court, paint a disturbing picture of systemic abuse where exploitation was treated as “normal.” In this episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore what happens psychologically when corruption is normalized at a community level. How do group dynamics silence dissent? How does trauma multiply when victims know the community sees and does nothing? And what does it mean for Sheriff Stines to face trial in the same county, under the shadow of these allegations? We also examine broader problems in America's prison and jail systems — where oversight is weak, abuse often goes unchecked, and the vulnerable are left unprotected. If even some of these allegations are true, this isn't about a bad apple. It's about an orchard poisoned from the inside. #JailhouseExposed #JudgeMullins #SheriffStines #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PrisonAbuse #Corruption #Whitesburg #SexScandal #CoverUp Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
