Christopher Dunn Remains in Prison After Missouri Supreme Court Puts His Release on Hold
July 24, 2024

Updated at 6:30 p.m. Friday with information from court documents filed by lawyers from the Midwest Innocence Project objecting to Bailey's efforts to block Dunn's release.


Christopher Dunn will remain in prison after the Missouri Supreme Court entered an emergency stay Wednesday evening, essentially pausing a St. Louis circuit court ruling that overturned his conviction on Monday.


The ruling, made by St. Louis Circuit Judge Jason Sengheiser, was put on hold after Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Wednesday obtained assistance from the higher court in halting Dunn’s release.
