    Kentucky Sheriff’s Defense Seeks Reduced Charges, Citing 'Crime of Passion' in Judge’s Killing-REPLAY EPISODE

    Former Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Stines, accused of fatally shooting District Judge Kevin Mullins in a shocking courthouse incident, is seeking to have his charges reduced from murder to manslaughter. Stines’ defense attorney, Jeremy Bartley, argued that the killing was a “crime of passion,” carried out during an “extreme emotional disturbance” and thus warrants a lesser charge. “It was not something that was planned and occurred in the heat of passion,” Bartley stated in an interview with *People*. “For us, the highest level of culpability should be manslaughter based on the partial defense of extreme emotional disturbance.” The tragic encounter between the two longtime friends, Stines, 43, and Mullins, 54, occurred inside Mullins’ chambers in the Letcher County Courthouse. Surveillance footage revealed the pair in a tense discussion before Stines drew a gun and aimed it at Mullins’ head. The footage showed Mullins sitting behind his desk, raising his hands in apparent fear as Stines fired eight rounds, with Mullins attempting to hide under the desk. Prosecutors presented the footage last week, showcasing Mullins’ desperate attempts to avoid the gunfire. The video reportedly captures Stines approaching Mullins, who was crouched beneath the desk, and firing two additional shots at close range before leaving the room where Mullins had served as judge for 15 years. According to Kentucky Detective Clayton Stamper, additional footage captured Stines making multiple calls to his daughter on both his own phone and Mullins’. Stamper testified that police found Stines’ daughter’s number saved on the judge’s phone. Shortly after the shooting, Stines surrendered to law enforcement, asking them to “treat me fair” as he was taken into custody. In an unusual twist, he informed the police, “They’re trying to kidnap my wife and kid,” though authorities have yet to elaborate on the specifics of this statement. While the motivation behind the violent confrontation remains unclear, authorities have suggested a potential link to a sex scandal, though they have not provided further details. Stines has entered a plea of not guilty to first-degree murder and is currently being held at the Leslie County Jail. The case has moved to a grand jury, with the prosecution and defense preparing for upcoming proceedings. As the investigation continues, detectives are examining the cellphones involved and interviewing additional witnesses to shed light on the events leading to this fatal encounter.

  3. Police Certification Revoked for Twin of Former Officer Charged in Sandra Birchmore's Death-REPLAY EPISODE

    3 HR AGO

    Police Certification Revoked for Twin of Former Officer Charged in Sandra Birchmore's Death-REPLAY EPISODE

    The Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) Commission has revoked the police certification of William Farwell, a former Stoughton officer, following his involvement in the Sandra Birchmore case. William is the twin brother of Matthew Farwell, who has been charged with Birchmore's murder. William agreed to voluntarily give up his certification as a law enforcement officer in Massachusetts, according to POST commission documents. The decision comes after he was accused of misleading state police investigators regarding the nature of his relationship with Birchmore, who died at the age of 23. The POST also added William's name to the National Decertification Index (NDI), a national registry of officers who have had their credentials revoked. **Background on the Case** Sandra Birchmore first met the Farwell brothers through the Stoughton Police Department’s Explorers Program in 2011, where both William and Matthew served as guest instructors. Investigations revealed that Matthew Farwell groomed Birchmore from a young age, leading to a years-long sexual relationship. Authorities allege that Matthew killed Birchmore when she became pregnant with his child in 2021 and staged her death to appear as a suicide. "Matthew Farwell has been federally indicted for killing Sandra Birchmore, and prosecutors may pursue the death penalty," reported Boston 25 News. **William Farwell’s Involvement** William's inappropriate conduct extended beyond his brother's relationship with Birchmore. Investigators uncovered evidence that William had exchanged sexually explicit messages, including photos and videos, with Birchmore when she was about 22. Additionally, he conducted 26 unauthorized searches for Birchmore in a police database and 24 searches for himself, all without official law enforcement justification. A 2022 internal investigation by Stoughton Police revealed that William, Matthew, and another officer, Robert C. Devine, had inappropriate relationships with Birchmore. As part of his agreement with the POST, William has been barred from ever working in law enforcement in Massachusetts again. The commission stated, "Revocation of certification ensures accountability for officers who engage in misconduct, protecting the integrity of law enforcement." Birchmore's tragic death continues to shake the Stoughton community, especially as more details emerge about the involvement of multiple officers who held positions of authority in her life.
