Judge Mullins, who had dedicated 15 years to serving on the bench, was shot while seated at his desk. The harrowing video, played during the hearing, lacked audio but vividly captured the chilling moments of the assault. Attendees in the courtroom witnessed Stines entering the judge's office, brandishing a firearm, and shooting Mullins as he attempted to take cover. After the judge fell, the footage revealed Stines walking around the desk to shoot him again. The courtroom was filled with palpable tension, as many in attendance struggled to hold back tears upon witnessing the graphic video.

Following the shooting, Stines surrendered to law enforcement without resistance and subsequently resigned from his position as sheriff. He has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges and is being held in a different county in Kentucky for his safety. 

As the trial progresses, the community continues to grapple with the shocking events that unfolded in what should have been a place of justice and safety.
