Defense attorney Jeremy Bartley claims the shocking shooting that rocked the tiny town of Whitesburg was "not something that was planned." Stines, 43, has resigned and pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of his longtime buddy Mullins, 54, whose assassination was captured on security footage in the judge's chambers.Bartley argues, "For us, the highest level of culpability should be manslaughter based on the partial defense of extreme emotional disturbance.<img src="https://cdn.magzter.com/1368738884/1729573348/articles/0jl6KeNHq1730052911269/1555898897.jpg" alt="image">"We believe there had to be a compelling reason for Sheriff Stines to feel like he had to take action." Police have yet to publicly announce a possible motive.<img src="https://cdn.magzter.com/1368738884/1729573348/articles/0jl6KeNHq1730052911269/8958252881.jpg" alt="image">Detective Clayton Stamper claims after Stines was taken into custody he cryptically commented, "They're trying to kidnap my wife and kid."
