Shawn ' Mickey ' Stines is accused of fatally shooting Letcher County District Judge Kevin Mullins in the judge’s chambers last September .

Stines showed no emotion as he sat quietly behind his lawyers at the eastern Kentucky jail where he's being held.

He resigned days after the shooting and could face the death penalty if he's convicted of the murder charge.
