Golf Digest profiled<\/a> this inmate who grinds colored pencils to their nubs drawing meticulously detailed golf-scapes. Although Dixon has never hit a ball or even stepped foot on a course, the game hooked him when a golfing warden brought in a photograph of Augusta National\u2019s 12th hole for the inmate to render as a favor. In the din and darkness of his stone cell, the placid composition of grass, sky, water and trees spoke to Dixon. And the endless permutations of bunkers and contours gave him a subject he could play with.<\/p>\n“The guys [other inmates] can\u2019t understand,\u201d Dixon has said. \u201cThey always say I don\u2019t need to be drawing this golf stuff. I know it makes no sense, but for some reason my spirit is attuned to this game.\u201d<\/p>\n
It took about a hundred drawings before Golf Digest noticed, but when we did, we also noticed his conviction seemed flimsy. So we investigated the case and raised the question of his innocence.<\/p>\n
The case is complicated, but on the surface it involves shoddy police work, zero physical evidence linking Dixon, conflicting testimony of unreliable witnesses, the videotaped confession to the crime by another man, a public defender who didn\u2019t call a witness at trial, and perjury charges against those who said Dixon didn\u2019t do it. All together, a fairly clear instance of local officials hastily railroading a young black man with a prior criminal record into jail. Dixon\u2019s past wasn\u2019t spotless, he had sold some cocaine, but that didn\u2019t make him a murderer.<\/p>\n
Golf Digest\u2019s 2012 article led to further national spotlights on the case by NBC\/Golf Channel, CRTV.com, Fox Sports, the Georgetown University Prison Reform Project and others. Alongside this, Dixon\u2019s daughter, Valentina, led a grassroots campaign to raise money for her father\u2019s legal fees by selling his artwork online. Still, the gears of the legal system refused to turn. As of Christmas 2017, appeals exhausted, Dixon\u2019s petitions for pardon or clemency drew no response from New York governor Andrew Cuomo\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
But now suddenly, a vacated conviction\u2014which means innocence\u2014a far more lofty legal victory. Why now?<\/p>\n
It rises from a confluence of factors, according to Donald Thompson, who along with Alan Rosenthal, filed Dixon’s latest motion (which included the Golf Digest article) pro bono. \u201cOnce a case crosses a certain threshold of media attention, it matters, even though it shouldn\u2019t,\u201d Thompson says. \u201cIt\u2019s embarrassing for the legal system that for a long time the best presentation of the investigation was from a golf magazine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thompson says Golf Digest\u2019s work eventually was eclipsed by the recent report filed by the Erie County district attorney\u2019s wrongful convictions unit, which is a new type of department popping up in various districts these days. Their report was helped by the Georgetown University students, a group of undergraduates who have also created documentaries, websites and social-media campaigns around three other individuals thought to be wrongfully imprisoned, as part of a class. \u201cThey did a great job of speaking to witnesses who could still be located, as well as getting Chris Belling [who prosecuted Dixon] to say things at variance with positions he\u2019s argued in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also not to be discounted is the value of fresh blood. Frank Sedita III, the longtime Erie County district attorney who\u2019s said that society ought to be more concerned with \u201cwrongful acquittals,\u201d is out. The new man, John Flynn, has been in the job a year, and it\u2019s basically due to his blessing that Dixon was released.<\/p>\n
Of course, one small matter to be addressed before a man\u2019s guilt is absolved is to place it on someone else. Just before Dixon walked out of the courthouse, LaMarr Scott walked in and officially plead guilty to Jackson\u2019s murder. Scott admitted responsibility the night of the shooting and has for decades since (including to Golf Digest), with the exception of a brief window of time when Belling pressured him to say otherwise. Scott is already serving a life sentence for a 1993 shooting in an armed robbery that left one victim a quadriplegic. Tacking on a concurrent sentence for Jackson\u2019s murder doesn\u2019t change his prospects, other than maybe making any future parole a slimmer possibility.<\/p>\n
Where\u2019s Dixon heading after the courthouse? \u201cI\u2019m going to Red Lobster to celebrate with my family and my support team, then we\u2019re going to go a park,\u201d he said. The next day he\u2019s going to visit his grandmother, and the day after that he\u2019s going to buy a cellphone and register for a passport at the post office so he can visit his wife of 12 years, Louise, who lives in Australia. She has a golden heart, and the two met because she has spent her life seeking to help those she can.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo many times I\u2019ve come close [to giving up], but God kept giving me the strength to keep on and now I know why,” Dixon told me by phone, hours after learning of his impending freedom.<\/p>\n
The careers of the people who put Dixon away will not be impacted. All have either retired or moved to new positions. \u201cThe positive is that this case could serve as a shining example to wrongful convictions units elsewhere,\u201d Thompson says.<\/p>\n
Lesser men would\u2019ve broken. With his mind and body in tact, Dixon hopefully has some good years ahead. Maybe he\u2019ll even take up golf.<\/p>\n
