Missouri Man Freed After 34 Years In Murder Conviction

Christopher Dunn, right, listens to his attorney Justin Bonus from New York City during the first day of his hearing to decide whether to vacate his murder conviction, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at

A Missouri man was released from prison after his murder conviction was overturned following 34 years behind bars. Christopher Dunn, 52, expressed gratitude for his family's unwavering support during his time in prison. Dunn's conviction was overturned by a St. Louis circuit judge on July 22, but his release was delayed due to appeals from the Missouri Attorney General.

Despite the efforts to keep him incarcerated, Dunn was finally reunited with his wife upon his release from the St. Louis city jail. This marks the second recent case where a person was freed from prison despite the Attorney General's opposition after a murder conviction was overturned.
