Why Would A Sheriff Shoot And Kill A Judge?

This one out of Kentucky seems to be about sex.

You may have seen this case out of Kentucky around Sheriff Mickey Stines, who shot and killed a judge (believe his name was Kevin Mullins) in his own county. If you are not generally familiar with law enforcement, judges and sheriffs tend to work pretty closely together, or at least know each other in good standing, and you will find different threads around the Internet that claim these two had lunch together often. So why did one kill the other?

Well, the most notable claim that seems to be out there is that Stines (the sheriff)’s daughter’s number was in both phones, meaning the judge had the number of the sheriff's daughter. I believe the daughter was either 17 or 18. The judge could have been her dad. So, there’s a potential sex angle there in. You see that borne out on this Reddit thread.

People have tried to guess about the connection. You’d assume someone somewhere has figured out all the connections, because the daughter’s phone has been dumped by now:
