Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Did Corruption Drive Sheriff Stines to Murder a Judge?
In the second half of this Hidden Killers Live special, Tony Brueski and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis explore the darker backdrop of the Mickey Stines case: explosive corruption allegations inside the courthouse. From sexual coercion claims to systemic abuse of power, the discussion asks whether Stine's alleged mental collapse was driven by exposure to a rotten system — or whether he acted with motive and control.
The panel debates the steep uphill battle of an insanity defense, especially with video showing Stines acting methodically in the moments before pulling the trigger. They also analyze the difficulty of investigating corruption in a small community where silence, retaliation, and rumor rule. At stake is more than one man’s fate — this case is becoming a referendum on the credibility of the justice system itself, and whether the community can trust its own courts again.
