For Christmas, Michelle Obama gifted former president Barack Obama with a work of art she purchased from an exoneree who served 27 years behind bars for a murder he didn’t commit. The former first lady reached out to Valentino Dixon, 50, of Buffalo, New York, after his story of exoneration was told in a segment of HBO Real Spots that aired in October. Dixon was convicted for murder in 1992 of second-degree murder, attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. He was sentenced to 38 years to life in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He spent 27 years behind bars before he was exonerated in 2018. Moved by Dixon’s story, Michelle arranged the purchase of his painting showing the famed Augusta National 12th hole for Barack, who is an avid golfer.
