The preliminary investigation indicates Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. Stines shot District Judge Kevin Mullins multiple times following an argument inside the courthouse, according to Kentucky State Police. Mullins, who held the judgeship for 15 years, died at the scene, and Stines surrendered without incident.
The fatal shooting in Whitesburg sent shock waves through a tight-knit Appalachian town and county seat of government with about 1,700 residents located about 145 miles (235 kilometers) southeast of Lexington.
Lead county prosecutor Matt Butler described an outpouring of sympathy as he recused himself and his office from investigations in the shooting, citing social and family ties to Mullins.

Also, a much smaller area -- Mullins was the only Dist Court Judge for the 47th Judicial District.Lead county prosecutor recused himself and his office due to conflict of interest. Sounds like Murdaugh.
^^rsbmA sex offender sheriff approached young women and teens (???) in the court system and offered favourable treatment in exchange for sex in Judge Mullin's chambers. There are up to six victims at this time.
A different sheriff shot Judge Mullins.

He shot the judge multiple times.
