Missouri Supreme Court Blocks Christopher Dunn's Release
News summary

Christopher Dunn, imprisoned for over 30 years on a false conviction, was set to be released after a judge overturned his conviction citing 'actual innocence'. However, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey appealed the decision, and the Missouri Supreme Court issued a stay, blocking Dunn's release just as he was signing paperwork to leave. The dispute stems from Dunn's 1990 conviction for a murder based on coerced testimonies from two youths who have since recanted. Despite the judge's order and the threat of contempt against the prison warden, Dunn remains in custody while legal battles continue. This case marks the second time in recent weeks that Bailey has opposed the release of a wrongly convicted individual, previously delaying Sandra Hemme's release.
