0:00.0 | What you know, alibiers, welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi. It's Thursday, |
0:06.4 | March 27th. Hope you guys are having a good day so far. We are going to catch up on a few of the |
0:11.9 | cases that we've been covering, and we're going to start with former sheriff Mickey Steins, |
0:17.1 | who was accused of shooting Judge Kevin Mullins in the judge's chambers, which was caught on video. |
