The Missouri Supreme Court intervened just in time to prevent the immediate release of Christopher Dunn, whose murder conviction was overturned. A St. Louis Circuit Court judge had ordered Dunn's release by 6 p.m. CDT, but Attorney General Andrew Bailey contested the decision, leading to a last-minute halt in Dunn's freedom.
Despite being on the brink of walking free, Dunn's release was put on hold by the Missouri Supreme Court, causing confusion and disappointment for Dunn and his family. The case stems from the 1990 killing of 15-year-old Ricco Rogers, for which Dunn was convicted based on now-recanted testimony.
