In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we take you deep inside one of the most shocking cases to hit the American justice system in decades—a sitting sheriff walks into a judge’s chambers and pulls the trigger. But was it a breakdown, a hit, or the fallout from a system drowning in its own corruption?
On September 19, 2024, Sheriff Sean “Mickey” Steins shot and killed Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County courthouse. The murder was caught on surveillance video. No one is questioning whether he did it. The question is: why?
What unfolds next is a twisted tale of alleged courthouse sexual abuse, political backroom deals, federal lawsuits, and a defense strategy shifting between claims of insanity, extreme emotional disturbance, and the fallout of an explosive deposition just three days before the killing.
Joined by defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, this breakdown dissects the legal tightrope ahead. We explore whether Steins’ mental state qualifies as legally insane or just morally compromised. Was he cracking under guilt, paranoia, or blackmail? Was he protecting his family from threats—or himself from exposure?
We also dig into the broader allegations: Was a courthouse being used for sexual coercion? Did Mullins turn a blind eye—or worse, enable it? And was Steins a whistleblower-turned-vigilante, or part of the very system he tried to destroy?
This case isn’t just about a murder—it’s about how unchecked power, broken oversight, and small-town politics can spiral into violence. If you care about justice, corruption, and the cost of silence, you don’t want to miss this episode.
