Dwight Dixon thinks Marvin Harrison sent someone to kill him, also likely thinks Bat-Boy was found in cave

Editors Note: I humbly beg Kissing Suzy Kolber's forgiveness for accidentally calling Dwight Dixon "Dennis" Dixon. Dennis Dixon was once a QB for the Oregon Ducks, not the guy who is unconscious in a Philly hospital with seven holes in his body. However, since nobody outside of Oregon gives a flying rat's ass about PAC-10 Oregon football, we figured no one would freak out about the mistake. Turns out we were wrong. Again, on our knees, begging forgiveness. --bbs

Apparently, ~~Dennis~~ Dwight Dixon, the man who lied to police about the Marvin Harrison shooting incident last year, is still unconscious after getting shot seven times in Philadelphia. However, prior to blacking out after the shooting, Philadelphia Daily News reporter David Gambacorta says "a law-enforcement source close to the investigation" heard Dixon claim Marvin Harrison hired the gunman.

Police still don't know who shot and critically wounded Dwight Dixon in Fairmount on Tuesday, but Dixon apparently had one person in mind.

Moments after a gunman riddled Dixon with seven bullets, the bloodied 33-year-old told a police officer he believed the gunman had been hired by NFL star Marvin Harrison, said a law-enforcement source close to the investigation.

Sigh. Just to recap, Dixon lied to police last year and was convicted of a misdemeanor because of it. He claimed Marvin Harrison shot him after a bar fight despite a lack of evidence to back up his claim. Police never considered Harrison a suspect in the shooting, even though members of ESPN's "illustrious" press corps (namely, Sal Paolantonio) seemingly did. Police never charged Harrison with anything. They suspected that the gun used in the shooting incident belonged to Harrison, but there was not enough proof to back up that suspicion. The Philly DA dropped the case a few months later.

Now, after getting involved in another sketchy incident, Dixon is saying Harrison wants him dead. Obviously, one cannot seriously believe the opinions of a known and convicted liar. And how Dixon would know Marvin Harrison hired someone to kill him is also puzzling. Unless he's got a receipt or something, this is likely another one of Dixon's lies aimed at tarnishing Harrison. Thankfully, the police don't seem to be buying it (emphasis mine):

Harrison isn't a suspect in the shooting, and investigators have not found evidence to link him to the incident, the source noted.

Police "won't know what made him say that until he wakes up," the source said.

We hope Mr. Dixon makes a full recovery.

We also hope the established media stops reporting what this guy says to anyone who will listen.

There’s no credibility to this claim but you have to have your Colts blinders on to think Marv had nothing to do with the last one. The ballistics test concluded that the bullets fired last spring were from Harrison’s gun. Either Harrison did the shooting himself or he let someone use his gun to do it. Either way, that’s not good. Dixon is definitely a shady character who changed his story but it’s hard to argue with the ballistics test from last year.

Nope

Marv had nothing to do with the last one since the court found that dixon is blatant liar. He planted evidence for god sakes (they found gun shells in the back of his trunk). Add to the fact that he is an ex convict and practically admitted through his attorney, that all he wanted he money, and yeah there is no way anyone can trust him.

Marvin didn't commit a crime, no doubt about that

But it’s a little silly to say that Marvin had nothing to do with it. Marvin’s gun was used. It stemmed from a fight in Marvin’s bar. The gun was dropped in a bucket at Marvin’s car wash.

Marvin was involved in the whole incident, he just didn’t commit a crime. No reason to go overboard on defending Marvin.

Gee, thanks for providing us with some insider information, even though we’ve known this since last July.

There’s no proof that Harrison shot anyone, so drop it already.

So you post the link and then tell your one commenter who doesn’t agree with the site’s take on it to drop it. There’s a difference between being able to prove something in court and a reasonable person being able to believe that Marvin was involved based on the facts that are available.

So did someone steal Marvin’s gun, shoot this guy and then return in to Marvin’s car wash and stick it in a bucket w/o Marvin having any knowledge of this?

His friends all knew where he kept the gun in his house

The most probable explanation is that one of his entourage took it without his knowledge and fired the gun later. Whether or not the bullets from Harrison’s gun hit Dixon was never established, and whether or not Harrison knew about his gun being missing was never established, and whether Harrison fired the gun was never established.

All we can say for sure is that someone fired Harrison’s gun at the scene of the shooting. There’s no evidence for anything more than that.

Marvin very likely could have been the shooter with no crime being committed

they found shell casings inside Dixon’s Car.

Funny Headline

This must be why my mom didn’t want me moving to Philadelphia. There’s a bunch of crazy people. Seriously, I doubt Marvin Harrison ever had anything to do with this guy. He’s a lunatic.
