flag Defense seeks judge’s removal in Stines murder trial over undisclosed link to deceased judge.

flag Attorneys for former Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Mickey Stines have filed a motion asking Judge Christopher Cohron to recuse himself from Stines’ murder trial, citing a video from a September 2024 judicial meeting where Cohron and the slain judge, Kevin Mullins, were seen seated together. flag The defense claims the judge failed to disclose the connection, raising concerns about impartiality in a high-profile capital case involving mental health defenses. flag The motion, filed December 30, 2025, argues the appearance of bias undermines public confidence, though no decision has been made.
