Sheriff Shoots Judge in Chambers Before Claiming Bizarre Kidnapping Plot | Mickey Stines Analysis 

So much crime, so little time. Dr. Grande, you'll never run out of material.

Keep us in the loop, Dr. Grande. What a bizarre case so far.

The way you summarized this was amazing, "He was the executioner, killed the judge, and must face the jury." Mic drop.

There's 2 narratives I can think of, the Judge was helping his wife and family escape from the Sheriff, OR the Judge was involved with the teenage daughter, only those 2 things could make sense to shoot someone instantly after finding out something. Either he was messing with the daughter (Judge) or they were good friends and Stines felt he was going behind his back to help his daughter and wife, and from his FB it seems those 2 ARE his life.

My guess is that his wife and daughter were estranged from him recently, probably due to domestic reasons, and the judge was giving them advice and/or protection. The sheriff seems to be emotionally explosive, which would track with a domestic abuser.

People make their minds up so quickly about motive, even in the absence of adequate evidence. I'm waiting for more evidence.

The judge didn't hide anything. Giving him the phone shows that 👀

This entire event is tragic: for the judge’s family, for the judge himself, for the sheriff and his family, for their community, and for the law enforcement community. Your insights are always insightful and informative. Thanks Dr. Grande.

Thank you Dr. Grande for offering some clarity on this case. It's a confusing mystery

His Daughter needs to be intensely questioned by the prosecutor 👁️👄👁️

"Treat me fairly" what an unbelievable thing to say.

wow this case is weird

Um who's going to protect his daughter when he's behind bars?

" Hello this is Dr. Grande. Guess which shirt from my very extensive collection I'm wearing today" 😂

I’m going with the theory that Mickey was an abuser and his wife and daughter enlisted the help of the judge to leave him. So Mickey believed he needed to kill the judge to prevent that. Crazy, but made sense to him. Guilty of murder.

Dr Grande's comedy style is so underrated🤣🤣

"Falsely believed he was special".. don't we all?

His daughter singing "I Shot the Sheriff" is about the most cliched, unimaginative idea for a video I can imagine.

If the sheriff had so little restraint that he ended up committing murder, I wonder how much restraint he showed when dealing with prisoners. This is going to end up with good old boy justice. The sheriff will be charged with manslaughter, get a couple of years in jail and be released.

A relative of Stine's wife started a go fund me to help the wife and daughter with living expenses. In the description, the relative says that the daughter was not being abused by the judge. The person stated this because they didn't want people giving under false pretenses. That is big because so many people accusing the judge and the they're saying he wasn't guilty of anything abuse wise. My guess is that Stine's wife and daughter possibly were trying to get away from him. The dude looks like he thinks he is above it all and it's his way or the highway. Time will tell and if he doesn't plead and there's a trial it will all come out. BTW the daughter was sitting in his side in the courtroom when they brought him in on October 1. The people saying the judge looks creepy, so what, Stine also looks creepy, it doesn't make murdering someone ok.

I have been watching your videos for years. I never thought my small county and someone I have known for years would be featured. I think your analysis was absolutely spot on , based on what we know now. You may want to do a follow- up as new information comes out.

Dr. Grande's insight on this mysterious murder was enlightening. I always enjoy the cacti in the background as much as these interesting cases. 🌵 🌵 🌵 Is anyone else hoping he will wear a colorful cactus shirt in one episode?

This sounds like a story right out of the wild west.

The most likely explanation for the daughter's number being in the judges phone is that the daughter was seeking advice from the judge for how to deal with her domineering father. The father found out that the daughter was talking, and he didn't like the council that the judge was providing to the daughter (that the daughter and the wife should seek a restraining order), ergo the father's comment "he was trying to kidnap my wife and daughter".

So many questions. How often did they have lunch together? Why did he ask him if he wanted to speak privately in the chambers? What did he (the sheriff) say to the daughter? This is fascinating. There was a whole story happening that we don't know about.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

"Treat me fair" like he treated the judge fair. He's a coward to shoot an unarmed man in cold blood. I have followed this story from the day it happened and I don't believe the judge will get a fair trial in that town.

No matter what the judge was doing this is premeditated murder.

Imagine, this cop has been on the loose for years. Imagine what he did to others in that small town.

The man in black is BACK

I think there's a lot more to it than just a phone number and in the phone..

The police always say ‘love and money almost always explain puzzling human behavior. Love, (or the lack of it) and money (or the lack of it).

The Judge probably would'nt have handed over his phone that easy, if he had something disturbing to hide. Will be interesting to find out, what the sherif found.

When you look at the video on the RU-vid feed, it looks like Dr G is a picture on the Judge’s wall 😂

This happened over 2 weeks ago. Evidence has been submitted for testing, people have been interviewed including the sheriff's daughter. So why, after all this time has the public not been given ANY information about a possible motive for this crime? The lead investigator appears to have NO information about the pertinent facts of this crime, so who DOES know?

You nailed it. Mickey definitely thought he was special. He thought he is above the law because he’s the sheriff. He’s a murderer

In the thumbnail, I thought there was a poster of Dr. Grande in that mans office.

Hello, hello! Thank you Dr. grande for all your hard work. Your videos get me through the day.

I heard about this story. I feel people snap so fast without thinking about the conqueques.

I want to hear what the daughter has to say about all of this. 🤔

If the judge had been sexually involved with the underage daughter, why not just arrest him? I don't buy that theory.

Anyone else notice in the screengrab of the video that the Judge has a cigarette in his hand? He has 2 cups in front of him, 1 of which I assume he is using as an ashtray. I only bring this up because of the psychology of a smoker's mentality. Stress can cause a smoker to light up. The Judge was also in his robes. It might have been a cigarette before he went back to court, or that cigarette being lit at that point in time could mean something else. It looks like it was lit not long before the first shot was fired. Just something I noticed. I assume since he is using a cup as an ashtray that he doesn't always smoke inside his office. If it was a common occurrence, one would think he would have an actual ashtray. You can tell it is in fact a cigarette, because if you watch the video closely, you can see the smoke rising from it.

How people can hate cops, hate lawyers hate politicians, but somehow think judges are these Bastians of moral good is beyond me

Things are not always as they appear. Since this murder the talk of the corruption in this little town is coming to light. It will be interesting to see how this develops. However, depending on how deep the corruption goes the truth may very well be buried.

The sheriff and the deputy were best friends, the sheriff had to know what the deputy was doing and possibly guilty of the same crime. The sheriff daughter wanting to protect her mother contacted the only person that she thought could help her and her mother. "The Judge". The judge confronted the sheriff, the sheriff tried to confirm what the judge said by trying to call the daughter, she wouldn't answer her dads phone but felt safe answering the judges phone. Take note the sheriff is just sitting back letting everyone trying to figure it out, because the one outsider who knows the truth is no longer with us.

Your videos are very enjoyable to watch. I really appreciate them and just wanted to say something because I am so early to an upload.

This is such a bizarre case. Your theory is definitely plausible and is the best explanation I've heard so far for the events that transpired.

I’m here Dr. grande❤ If I wanna know what’s going on, I come to you❤ You sorted it out properly every time❤

Maybe the daughter called the judge to warn him of impending death!

I think it was a crime of passion, where the sheriff felt like his daughter was in danger from the judge

The Sheriff "Falsely believed he was "SPECIAL"!!!!!!! Now that's epic!!! For the first time, listening to various accounts of this case....something is making sense 🤔 Thanks Dr T❤

I'd say that if the judge had had an illicit relationship with Mickey's under aged daughter, there is NO excuse, or reasoning.

Here's my guess, a message on the phone from the wife confirmed that the judge was actually the father of that daughter. At first I thought maybe he had an explicit photo of the daughter but because of what he said about the wife, I'm going with the new theory above

It's really easy to say it's murder when it's not your daughter.

You're the best, Dr. Grande! I LOVE your analysis. Thank you!

The only way I can make sense of the facts we know so far is that Stines' wife and daughter were trying to leave/escape him and his narcissistic personality and the Judge was helping them.

The unraveling of our society is nearly complete.

Good morning Dr. Grande! Thank you so much for your consistent informative and enjoyable analysis' on both current and previous cases.

A sheriff's #1 duty: to deescalate situations.

Now to my analysis. One day Todd will surprise and have a different intro , different ending and different chapters. All those mouthing along with him will be left bewildered, shocked, stunned. amazed, puzzled, disorientated and discombobulated. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the great content!

My call is - the sheriff was involved in the scandal and his name was about to pop up.

Going to be interesting. But if the Sheriff takes a plea deal we'll never know the true circumstances. Thank you Dr. Grande, you're the boss :)

My guess, the murderer is an abuser, and the judge was trying to help the women escape him. I think it will be as simple as that. This sheriff is a violent lunatic

It's possible that the Sheriff was abusing his daughter, and believed she disclosed the abuse to the Judge. If that's true, though, it doesn't make sense that he didn't also kill his daughter, and wife, since it was possible that his daughter also made the disclosures to his wife. The video with the Sheriff's daughter caged in the back of the police car is a little weird in that it may suggest a master-slave relationship between the Sheriff and his daughter. Then again, it's possible that, over lunch, the judge told the Sheriff that he was going to make a ruling which would be extremely adverse, maybe life-changing, to the Sheriff, and, in order to prevent entry of such an Order, the Sheriff killed the judge, though that doesn't make much sense since the Sheriff knew, or should have known that another judge would be appointed to the case and would enter the Order/Judgment. A strange case.

There were some allegations that the Sheriff might be abusing his wife and daughter. Perhaps the Judge was trying to help the Sheriff’s daughter and wife in this matter, which would explain why her number was on the Judge’s phone. The claims by the Sheriff that his wife and daughter were being “kidnapped” may have had to do with the Judge assisting the wife in a separation or divorce.

If the judge had an affair with his daughter, his wife would come out and say something. I think his wife and daughter were trying to escape the sheriff with the help of the judge. Possibly, the sheriff was abusing this own family.

I suppose that if you have someone’s number in your phone and you put a fake name on the contact and someone else goes to manually dial that number, it will reveal the fake contact. If it also pulled up a string of texts and there was images in those texts, it’ll reveal that too.

Great coverage in detail. You presented the best video crystal clear as compared to other videos. It is a better view of where the incident happened. Thank you.

According to the arrest report he told the cops that arrested him “They were gonna kidnap my wife and daughter…” I’m waiting for more evidence that judge was not clean.

To me it’s cold blooded murder! The sheriff took the law into his own hands!

I been waiting for this video to "explain what we know..." thank you sir

Sheriff looks much older .Born in 1980 ....weird case.

Daughter answers the judge’s phone with “Hey sweetly, you missing me already?”

Dr. Grande, I agree with you on all points. I watched Mickey Stines reactions in the courtroom and he no remorse of killing his friend. When the court was over he just walked out like he was going to a job, when he knew he was going to lock up. To me those are signs of a killer. Thank you so much!

Dr Todd you are an exemplary example of a rational and enlightened man.

This whole thing is very strange. Regardless of what the sheriff was thinking he is way too impulsive to be in his position. I think it's possible maybe looking at his phone in the future or talking to him that he may have been receiving threats and maybe those were pranks or maybe they had merit. Maybe somebody put an idea into his mind and he was looking for confirmation bias. I don't know but it's so illogical what he did

Thank you for the excellent analysis!

You mean, big, tough, manly man Sheriff couldn't control his little feelers? Usual suspect...I guess.

Lots of details the general public don't know about this one.

One of my favorite things about Dr. Grande's channel is the variety of situations he analyzes. The true crime hosts certainly have their hold in social media but the majority of crimes center around spouses murdering each other and that can get too heavy. There's an endless infusion and variety of nefarious activities going on all around us that many of us might not hear about outside of this channel. Thank you Dr. Grande for bringing your expertise to so many of these situations - it's the main reason I subscribed and you do not disappoint 😊

Thank you for another well done video. I always enjoy watching all your videos. 😊

Shame! Are these the caliber of law enforcement officials we have now? If the sherriff can do such a blatant crime in broad daylight in a court, then he could plant evidence, intimidate witnesses, and take bribes from drug dealers.

There is evidence that in the past 6 months this once pretty good sheriff's demeanor has changed considerably. And given his statement after he or during what he was shooting about them being kidnapped, it's obvious that they were on the run from him and using the judge who was also a lawyer of course to help them navigate that exile.

All these armchair detectives that sit in their homes with their theories and most don’t even know what’s going on outside their own existence. How about you let the facts play out, then comment on the facts.

I basically use Dr. Grande for all of my news these days....

Oh my this is disturbing & an execution 😐💯 premeditated/intent to kill. Trial should bring out more. Great analysis as always. Thanks Dr G😊💞💞

We should leave the speculating to Dr Grande until the case brings forth actual evidence from both phones and all witnesses.

Dr. Grande, I read that there was a bit more to the history there - the civil action against the sheriff that you referred to involved a deputy who repeatedly had sex with a prisoner in the judge's chambers, with the judge condoning this repetitious conduct and apparently, willingly making his chambers available for the deed. This apparently went on for some time and obviously reflected badly on the office of the sheriff as it was his deputy that the judge assisted in the criminal behavior. It seems that in addition to that atrocity, the sheriff had just learned of something going on between the judge and his daughter. Most defendants you discuss have criminal histories or tendencies which you reveal by way of prior incidents but to date, I'm not aware of criminal tendencies or previous bad conduct of the sheriff. The shooting seems to be the only incident of his acting out.

The sleezy corruption in chambers, could cause a moral man to snap.

I starting to believe it's not the first time the sheriff had killed someone🧐

Well the trial should bring all the details out into the open.

Haven't watched it yet, but looking dashing, Dr. Grande! The shirt suits you.

Haven't watched one of your videos in awhile. I see u are still making quality and professional presentations. Thanks for this one, and for still making them.

I do not think there is an innocent reason for a grown man to have his friends teenage daughters phone number and in their phone. It’s highly suspicious. If it indeed turns out to be the case that it was inappropriate I as a juror would nullify with a not guilty.

I've been saying the whole time there's more to this story that's being said. A lot of people were jumping all over the sheriff with the: "evil cops outta control!" spiel, but I've been waiting to find out more details.

I agree w/ you on this one, Doc. There's no scenario in which I'd allow his release.

Everything broke when he called his daughter from Mullins phone. If he called his daughter on the judges phone and she immediately started to talk dirty sexy thinking it was the judge then SNAP!

Thank you, Dr. Grande!

One question… did he watch Commando the night before? And now for my speculation. The judge blackmailed his daughter for a little something something. The dude noticed his daughter acting weird, pried, and she had some sort of emotional break down confession. He too cried like a Sally and for one brief moment they felt closer than they had ever been. With this new found sense of loyalty and bit of delirium he used those last three rounds to suppress whatever truth might come out in any future investigation. Then concocts the kidnapping story based on his daughter’s sudden absence in his life and how that made him feel. He was calm and spoke about fairness suggesting in his own way he felt he was acting rationally and wanted to, at the very least, make sure he got that point across. Judge and daughter… he was infatuated and she felt trapped because she considered her continued participation as a means to end. (Touches head) The word bon bons keeps coming to mind… does that mean anything to anybody here?
