  Speaker 4: Source worker returned to cut the power to the building

  Speaker 4: for safety. Neighbor all Yannic witnessed the rescue speaking to WCVB, I.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Couldn't figure out why another truck was There are no

  Speaker 1: fire trucks for her yet.

  Speaker 5: their way already.

  Speaker 4: The rescued woman was distraught and frantic that her dog

  Speaker 4: was still inside. Witnesses later confirmed the woman's dog did
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: not survive. Fire crews were able to contain the fire
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: to one unit, but all six units suffered smoke and
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: water damage and were left uninhabitable. The cause of the
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: fire remains under investigation. That utility worker spoke to WCVB
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: on condition of anonymity. He said he was working up
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: the street when the smoke started billowing. He drove from
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: his work site, spotting the woman climbing out the window
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: to an awning just above the front entrance, extending his
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: cherry pick just in time.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Parton. The judge in Kentucky has rejected a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: request to dismiss the indictment against former Lecher County Sheriff
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Sean Steins, who is facing charges for the fatal shooting
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of District Judge Kevin Mullins in September twenty twenty four.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Court documents indicate that the judge determined prosecutors acted appropriately
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: during the grand jury proceedings that resulted in Stein's indictment
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in November. In a different ruling, the judge approved Stein's
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: request for a bond hearing, but turned down his motion
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to include parts of the confidential psychological evaluation as evidence.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: According to court records, Stein's defense team has previously indicated
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that they will argue extreme emotional disturbance and insanity during
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the trial. He is currently detained on murder charges, which
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: could lead to the death penalty. The incident allegedly occurred
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on September nineteen, twenty twenty four, when Stein's shot and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: killed Judge Mullins in his chambers. The event was recorded
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: on video, which was presented during Stein's preliminary hearing and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: shown to the grand jury. The defense contends that the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: prosecution provided false and misleading information to the grand jury,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: particularly concerning Stein's mental health and his involvement in a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: federal civil lawsuit against former Deputy Ben Fields. According to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the defense, the defendant asserts that during the grand jury
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: session on November twenty one, the prosecutor elicited misleading testimony
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that swayed the jury towards the murder indictment. As stated
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in the court order, the defense emphasized that medical records
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: revealed Stein's had been diagnosed with an acute stress reaction
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just a day prior to the shooting, and Joe records
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: noted instances of quote active psychosis during suicide risk assessments
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: following his arrest. Furthermore, the defense claimed that Detective Stamper
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: incorrectly testified that Judge Mullins was not connected to the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: civil lawsuit against Ben Fields, which pertains to allegations of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: inappropriate relationships with court participants in Mullen's chamber. The judge
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: concluded that the prosecution met its burden of providing sufficient
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: evidence for probable cause, noting that any alleged misrepresentations or
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: omissions would not have altered the grand jury's decision for
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: an indictment. As it stands now, the sheriff will go
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to trial for the murder of the Kentucky judge. Or
