Kentucky Sheriff shot a judge in his chambers

I'm throwing this out there again so it's in this thread.

The same Sheriff is alleged to not have investigated allegations that one of his deputies was raping a woman in the same Judge's chamber that he murdered the judge in.

Police failing to investigate their own. You don't say... and in what world does someone only get 6 months behind bars for rape, sodomy, perjury and tampering with a prisoner monitoring device.... I guess if you want to commit sex crimes and get the lightest sentence possible, become a cop.

Kentucky sheriff who allegedly killed judge faced allegations of ignoring deputy's abuse of woman in his chambers

The sheriff who allegedly shot and killed a rural Kentucky judge in his courthouse chambers was accused in a federal lawsuit of failing to investigate allegations that one of his deputies repeatedly sexually abused a woman in the same judge's chambers. Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. Stines has been charged with murder in the first degree in Thursday's shooting.

Stines was deposed on Monday in a lawsuit filed by two women, one of whom alleged that a deputy forced her to have sex inside Mullins' chambers for six months in exchange for staying out of jail. The lawsuit accuses the sheriff of "deliberate indifference in failing to adequately train and supervise" the deputy.

The now-former deputy sheriff, Ben Fields, pleaded guilty to raping the female prisoner while she was on home incarceration. Fields was sentenced this year to six months in jail and then six and a half years on probation for rape, sodomy, perjury and tampering with a prisoner monitoring device, The Mountain Eagle reported. Three charges related to a second woman were dismissed because she is now dead.
