First on the fox: Bodycam shots of former Ladcher district, Sheriff Kentucky Shawna “Mickey” Stins, who received Fox News Digital, shows that the Kentucky State Police (KSP) questioned Stines just minutes after he allegedly shot and killed the district judge Kevin Mulins in his chambers.
In a police interview, recorded in the corridor of the Forest River District, where shooting occurred, “paranoid” stabs have constantly insisted that the police or someone else are killed, a belief that is his The defender told Fox News Digital He was a factor that contributed to the shooting on September 19, 2024.
The former sheriff, who wore jeans and a half -shirt decorated with a title on it, was handcuffed and sat in a chair while questioning him. During the interview, his legs were shaking and he seemed to scan his environment for potential threats.

He answered a few questions about what happened that day, because most of the interviews spent trying to stifle his fears.
During the police interrogation, Stins requested to be closed in Lecher County, just a few steps from the courtroom, instead of risking to transport to another facility.
“I leave this building, I won’t breathe once more,” said the KSP investigator Clayton Stampera, who was investigating.

When they were informed that the prison in the Forecher County would violate him the protocol, the fact that the officers noticed that he should understand with regard to his position of the Sheriff of the County, Stines was told to take him to the Leslie County Prison for about an hour.
“I will never get to the Leslie district prison,” he told the police. “Put me in the Leslie district prison, I’ll be killed there. I’ll be killed in any prison.”
Police constantly assured Stines that no one would hurt him, but these persuasions fell on deaf ears.
“Mickey, why do you think we will do something to you?” Stamper asked. “Why would we want to hurt you?”

“Well, someone on the way [to the Leslie County Jail]If you stop and let someone in the way, “Stins said.
“Look, I know this is obviously a very creepy situation, but I assure you that you have no intention of harming you,” Stamper said.
To alleviate their fears, the police agreed to allow KSP Trooper Jason Bates, a former deputy district of Letcher, whom Snins knew for years, took him to Leslie County.
Bates also joined the interview in an attempt to calm Stines.
Stiins, however, could still haven’t shaken his fears.

“Come on, be fair to me,” he told Stamper. “I saw the look … Come now, don’t kill me. Don’t punish me, you know. Let’s be fair. Don’t shoot me, nothing like it.”
When the police finally managed to get rid of Stines enough to ask him what led to the shooting, Stines refused to answer.
“You will all kill me, aren’t you?” He answered before he asked again about transport to Leslie County.
“You will kill me, I know you are,” he said. “Let’s just go with him. Let’s just go.”

The examination culminated in a dramatic exit of the courtroom to Sally’s prison port, during which Stins peeked through the windows and a series of stairs, obviously looking for potential threats.
“Come on, guys, be honest with me,” he said repeatedly.
An hour’s driving to the Leslie County Prison followed, and the officers occasionally asked if they wanted to talk about what had happened.

According to Stones’s lawyer Jeremy Bartley, the fear of shooting against his family came from his testimony in a citizen lawsuit against former Sheriff Sheriff of the Football District of Lecher drove him to the edge.
“In particular, in about two -week periods before the incident in the chambers, there are quite a lot of witnesses that investigators talked to to support what Mickey said close to Mickey,” Bartley told Fox News Digital last week.
“And that’s simply this: Mickey became extremely paranoid. He would become insane, he did not sleep basically. [He] I slept a little, if at all. Somehow he retired. And you know, there were such concerns that his associates called him to go to the doctor, and he ultimately made it the day before the shooting. “

“On the day when this is [shooting] It happened, my client repeatedly tried to contact his wife and daughter, and he firmly believed they were in danger, “Bartley said.” He believed that they were in danger of what he knew happened in the courtroom. And there was pressure and there was threats to somehow hold him in order, to prevent them from saying more than these people wanted to say. “

It’s Bartley Planning of the defense of madness.
Stines was overthrown a few days ago in an explosive lawsuit, which was full of charges of sexual abuse In the courtyard of the Forecher County, especially in Mulins’ chambers, just three days before he allegedly killed the judge. Stines was appointed defendant in the civic case, but only if he allegedly failed to properly monitor the deputy, which is the main objective of the lawsuit.
The prosecutor’s lawyer in that case, Ned Pillersdorf, lobbied charges of the Cultural Culture of the Court in an interview with Fox News Digital last week.
“Only my general concern as a criminal defense lawyer … They kicked the brothel from that court,” Pillersdorf said. “I mean, pimps – at least three women we know, even though I think it’s bigger.”
Pillersdorf performed the deposition three days before the shooting, and he also noted that Stines seemed unusual.
Bartley did not return the comment request on Friday.
Prosecutorial lawyer Jackie Steele has not returned more comment requests.
What a forensic psychiatrist, a body language expert says:
“The sheriff is obviously suffering mental damage, although it is not clear what his diagnosis or combination of diagnosis is,” Dr. Carole Lieberman told Fox News Digital, adding that the lack of sleep could be a difficult factor of mental illness.
Lieberman, a psychiatrist and a mental health practitioner who was an expert in cases ranging from attempting to kill and violence in the domestic to divorce the celebrity divorce, said Stones’ most obvious symptom of the mental illness of his paranoia.
“No matter how many times they tried to convince him that he would guard him, he would not let that misconception that their intentions were to kill him,” she said.
She described Stines as a “panic” during his interaction with the police and noted that the interference in his chair was an attempt to comfort himself.

“The sheriff in the obvious non-devil, with the protruding belly taken over his presence and swinging back and forth in his chair-what is independent behavior,” she said. “He is constantly grimaced, reflecting his physical and emotional pain.”
The second condition that could have contributed to the behavior of the stines is called a short reactive psychosis, and could come from his deposition in a civil lawsuit three days earlier, Lieberman said.

She said that such a situation could happen “as a reaction to his that a stressful deposition in the case of” sectorization “and that he sued himself civilian, and then suddenly realizing that his associates in the implementation of the law and the courtroom could turn against him if his testimony implied them in criminal behavior.”
“He seems to feel pressure from threats (real or imagined) to prevent him from saying too much,” she said.
