Missouri man is free from prison after a judge overturned his 1991 conviction, despite AG's efforts

A Missouri man is free after 34 years behind bars since his murder conviction was overturned despite the state attorney general’s efforts to keep him there. Christopher Dunn was driven by a prison van from the state prison in Licking, Missouri, to St. Louis, where he was officially released Tuesday. A judge overturned Dunn’s murder conviction on July 22 and ordered his immediate release. But Dunn remained imprisoned amid a chaotic appeal process. The Missouri Supreme Court granted Dunn’s release on Tuesday. A statement from his lawyers says they “look forward to supporting Chris as he rebuilds his life.”
