The attorney for the former Letcher County sheriff accused of fatally shooting a district judge is asking for the murder indictment to be dismissed and a chance for his client to leave jail.
Jeremy Bartley, the attorney for Mickey Stines, has filed motions asking for the case to be dismissed and for a bond hearing for Stines. Stines was indicted for the alleged murder of Letcher County District Judge Kevin Mullins in the judge’s chambers last September, while a surveillance camera recorded the shooting. Bartley claims there was a previously undisclosed meeting between the commonwealth’s attorney’s office and the grand jury.
