Kentucky sheriff finally reveals his defense for shooting judge

A former sheriff claims he is not culpable of shooting his judge friend dead in his chambers because he was in a moment of insanity and extreme emotional stress.

Shawn 'Mickey' Stines, 43, of District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, in his office in September. The shooting was caught on video but the motive of the murder remains unclear.

Stines 'intends to present expert evidence relating to a mental disease or defect or mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt and punishment,' his lawyer Jeremy Bartley said in a court filing.
