[@magdump4456]

But didn't he do this because the judge slept with his daughter? I don't doubt the corruption but I believe that was his reason

[@barryc261]

@@magdump4456 It was said, I believe in an affidavit, that after he shot the judge he said "They're trying to take my wife and kid from me!". Sounds to me that it's more likely that the judge was trying to help them get away from him. As with most domestic violence situations, the abuser doesn't think they've done anything wrong. In his mind the judge was trying to break up his family. Since, it's apparent that he's afraid of his of his own profession (probably because of his own actions as Sheriff), it's not a stretch that he would treat his own family the same.

He is not concerned; he is building his defense by trying to show he is in some danger and had to shoot the judge in self-defense. He knows exactly what he is doing...

How many previous arrestees have been ‘taken to the Forrest’?

[@Mr58hawkeye]

Shouldn't he have been questioned by a detective at the jail in a interview room after he was read his miranda rights and the trooper transporting him should not have been asking questions ?

[@ReRe13-]

Right ?

[@matthewt3369]

Sounds like the trooper transporting him was trying to give him a “gentle hint” on what his story should be in order for him to not reveal what the actual story is…..

Judge was a scumbag

[@jpmnky]

He probably did that because after an incident, if you go to the hospital, they aren’t supposed to talk to you about that incident. But it could be both.

[@michaelback283]

I wonder what the judge said to set him off

[@LS-ek1fd]

He’s overweight, hands cuffed too tight behind his back. Impossible to get in the backseat. Car running in sally port with garage door down. Exhaust collecting. Make sense now?

@@ReRe13- gotcha! Just went and watched the motions hearings. Apparently her number was SAVED on judges office phone. The judge and sheriff were friends so there would be circumstances where that would be okay - if there kids car pooled to school or whatever. But it seems like after he called her from the judges phone he lost his mind and killed him. Curious what was said by her - looking forward to this trial

The entire city was under water in 2022. A 1,000 year flood hit the area and devastated the area. Mickey Stines was driving up and down the roads of his community at 2am warning people to evacuate. He also helped three other men rebuild a road to allow EMS access into McRoberts that was isolated due to bridges and crossing being destroyed. We’re lucky to even have the courthouse open for business.
