SUMMARY: Former Lee County Sheriff Mickey Stein faced a packed courtroom for his arraignment on a new murder charge related to the shooting of District Judge Kevin Mullins. Stein pleaded not guilty and is being held without bond, as he is charged with a capital crime under Kentucky law. Retired Judge Julia Adams presided over the arraignment, following Marcy’s Law guidelines. While Stein’s defense plans to request a bond hearing, securing bond for such charges is deemed unlikely. A new judge will be assigned for future proceedings. The prosecutor did not disclose motives, but both sides aim for the trial to occur in Lee County.
