Missouri Judge Overturns Christopher Dunn's Murder Conviction
News summary

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has overturned the murder conviction of Julio Baez, the getaway driver in a 2014 shooting that resulted in the death of 17-year-old Ryan Morrissey. The court found insufficient evidence to prove Baez shared the lethal intent of the actual shooters, who were acquitted at trial. Meanwhile, in Missouri, a judge has vacated the conviction of Christopher Dunn, who spent over 30 years in prison for a murder he claimed he did not commit. Dunn's ruling, based on new evidence suggesting his actual innocence, was opposed by the Missouri Attorney General's Office, which plans to appeal. Both cases highlight ongoing issues regarding the reliability of convictions and the justice system's ability to rectify wrongful imprisonments. The Suffolk County District Attorney's office in Massachusetts is reviewing its options following the Baez ruling.
