I hope his lawyer has the gall to argue Qualified immunity when the inevitable civil trial occurs.
It needs to be argued. Might open doors for others to argue against it
Maybe this one they will keep locked since it was a judge . Any body else he would be on paid leave for 1 week. Or something… dunno …
I’m very surprised this is getting little coverage. Dude shot a judge in his chambers over an argument. That is some crazy shit.
Is there a reason this judge looks absolutely PLASTERED in every pic I’ve seen of him regarding this case?

Could you imagine being sent to prison by Mr. Bean’s American cousin?
Lead county prosecutor Matt Butler described an outpouring of sympathy as he recused himself and his office from investigations in the shooting, citing social and family ties to Mullins.
“We all know each other here. … Anyone from Letcher County would tell you that Judge Mullins and I married sisters and that we have children who are first cousins but act like siblings," Butler said in statement from his office. “For that reason, among others, I have already taken steps to recuse myself and my entire office.”
Not to take away from the topic at hand, but is having the judge and prosecutor being brothers-in-law not considered a conflict of interest???
So the judge has a history of sexual abuse claims and he allegedly raped the sheriffs 16 year old daughter?
