Missouri Judge Orders Release of Wrongfully Convicted Man After 33 Years

Christopher Dunn's murder conviction overturned due to new evidence, but state appeal delays his release.

Christopher Dunn was convicted in 1991 for a 1990 murder based on coerced testimonies from two boys, now recanted.
St. Louis Circuit Judge Jason Sengheiser ruled Dunn's conviction should be vacated, citing 'actual innocence.'
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's office plans to appeal, preventing Dunn's immediate release.
Dunn's case follows a similar pattern to Sandra Hemme's, who was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years.
The Midwest Innocence Project, representing Dunn, criticized the state's resistance to overturn wrongful convictions.
