Judge to Decide on Missouri Man's 33-Year-Old Conviction

Christopher Dunn's fate hinges on recanted testimonies and new evidence presented in recent hearing

Christopher Dunn has been imprisoned for over three decades for a 1990 murder he claims he did not commit.
Key witnesses have recanted their testimonies, citing coercion, and new evidence has emerged supporting Dunn's innocence.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore argues there is no remaining evidence to uphold the conviction.
The Missouri Attorney General's Office maintains that the original jury verdict was correct and opposes the motion to vacate.
A 2021 Missouri law allows prosecutors to seek hearings to vacate wrongful convictions, providing a new avenue for Dunn's case.
