or The Meditations of Kirksey Nix.
Regret, remorse, even contrition but no confession. Such are the words that can describe a letter Kirksey Nix submitted to U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett begging for compassionate release from federal prison. Nix is serving life sentences for murder and another for conspiring to kill Vincent and Margaret Sherry.
Nix submitted a request for compassionate release recently:
TEXT ONLY ORDER as to [909] MOTION for Compassionate Release (COVID-19) filed by Kirksey McCord Nix. Along with the Motion, sensitive medical records were filed. It is hereby ordered that the attachment to the instant motion be restricted from public view. No further written order shall issue. Signed by District Judge Keith Starrett on 12/6/2023
Posted below is the letter Nix provided to the Court.

It has a lot of regret, but little remorse.
His prison "ministry" is why God kept him alive this long, he should stay on that horse and ride it over the Styx River, where his chance at Mercy, if any, awaits.
He’s still got a heartbeat. Wasn’t it mercy enough that he got to keep that so he can now bitch about not liking where he lives?
He hasn't murdered in decades so he is obviously rehabilitated.
He can have a family reunion at the event if he volunteers for hospice by a firing squad.
"He hasn't murdered in decades so he is obviously rehabilitated."
Funny sarcasm.
9:44 AM wins the comment of the day award.
Just finished reading Mississippi Mud. Good read with history of the scams and crimes associated with and leading up to the murders.
Always a con artist. He continued scamming and arranging murders from prison. That should be exhibit A as to why he should not get out of prison.
Yeah....F^Ck that guy. I hope he has internet and can read this.
He abused and extorted a protected victim class. He will never be freed.
Leave him where he is. The Sherrys are still where he put them over 50 years ago.
I'm sure 10:54 can (not) back up his claim.
@11:28 My comment stated that he should stay in prison. I'm not sure what you mean about backing up my claim. Nix was convicted of a litany of charges while he was already incarcerated for murder.
I really don't care what the convict's letter says.
He's already where he should be, and he should stay there until he leaves feet first and cold.
It would be hard to tell if the convict's letter is just another con. Since he's a convicted murderer, and considering his other crimes, the public will be safer so long as he is still behind bars.
I'm a lot more interested in reading any letters that anyone outside wrote in support of letting this convict out.
The real bad one only got 10. Pete got 10.
12:39 - Your not being sure what I mean by backing up your claim could be because I clearly posted that I don't think 10:54 can back up HIS claim, which was..."He continued scamming and arranging murders from prison." Roll out your evidence of his arranging murders while in prison.
@3:18 I guess you don't think Nix had anything to do with the Sherry murders or that lonely hearts scam?
That plea for compassion was sent to the wrong Judge. May he kneel and submit this compassionate plea to the next judge he will face.
Pete served 18.
Let this guy out. Tired of paying his rent.
I didn't say or imply that, 4:15. You posted that he arranged murders while in prison. The Sherrys were already dead then, and lonely hearts club scams are not murders. Shit or get up.
@ 5:22 Nix has been in prison since 1972. The Sherrys were murdered in 1987. In connection with the Sherry murder trial, Nix was convicted of travel in aid of murder-for-hire, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Is that not evidence? Later, in 1997, Nix was convicted in a second trial of racketeering, conspiracy to violate the racketeering statute, fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. The lonely hearts scam was basis for the wire fraud charges. All this happened while Nix was in prison.
Kirksey McCord Nix Jr. was a 44-year-old inmate serving life without parole at Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana when he ordered the murders of Mississippi Coast Circuit Court Judge Vincent Sherry and his wife, Margaret, a former Biloxi councilwoman with mayoral aspirations.

“Hospice by firing squad.”
Nice!
Was he convicted of the Sherry murders or has he admitted to it? If not, it's pure speculation that he ordered their murders.
And the conspiracy and wire fraud charges have nothing to do with 'ordering murder while in prison'.
Keep his ass locked up until the coroner comes to his cell.
Wow....reading all the opportunities he had for success and a great education that he wasted. The love of money truly is the root of all evil.
Nice to know that he listens to Dave Ramsey on how to live within your means now. I bet Dave doesn't want the endorsement though.
I hope he (Nix) kicks himself every day for wasting his life, and understands he has no one to blame but himself.
All I see in his appeal to the court is:
"I made poor choices because I was a silver-spoon kid. It's not my fault that I was a silver-spoon kid, so it can't be my fault that I made poor choices."
Why not...
"I grew up an ass-hole and never changed. I had people killed and wreaked havoc on others my entire, uncaged, life. I'm weak and would like to die at home. My dad should have used a condom".
Nix's convictions were upheld. I guess there was some sort of evidence of his guilt for the lonely-hearts scam and the murder for hire charges.
He was already serving life for a murder he DID commit before the Sherry murders.
How many bodies you want before life means life? 4?
So what's your view on Gillich being given immunity & released from custody early? He admitted under oath he located a hitman and paid to have the Sherry's murdered.
