Valentino Dixon, Golf Digest, and Freedom



Wow. This is a pretty amazing story, thanks to Golf Digest.

It was not a simple case (it is hard to overturn a conviction after appeals). Valentino Dixon had a criminal history and there was testimony to convict him (but there was also testimony to acquit him). But there are serious questions about the case and he served 27 years.  Thanks to two Georgetown undergraduate students, he was exonerated of the charges. But the Golf Digest story gave needed attention.
