Judge and Wife ASSASSINATED By Professional Hitman

Video Description

his documentary recounts the chilling 1987 assassination of respected circuit court Judge Vincent Sherry and his politically active wife, Margaret, in Biloxi, Mississippi. The initial investigation stalled, with the limited evidence—including a professional getaway car and a clue pointing to a homemade silencer—suggesting a professional hit. The FBI special agent in charge, determined to find justice, continued working the cold case for years, driven by the shocking theory that Margaret, an outspoken anti-gambling crusader, was the primary target of powerful forces in Biloxi. The investigation took a dark turn when agents connected the murders to the notorious Dixie Mafia and an incarcerated kingpin, Kirsy Nicks, through a complex fraud scheme. The stunning revelation came two years later: the true mastermind was not a rival criminal, but the judge's own former law partner and close friend, Pete Halat, who later became the city's mayor. Halat stole a large sum of money from the Dixie Mafia, framed Judge Sherry for the theft, and had his friend killed to cover his own corruption.
