The Missouri Court of Appeals is considering whether Christopher Dunn will remain a free man two years after a judge threw out his murder conviction.

The judges heard oral arguments Thursday in an effort by the state attorney general’s office to reverse a 2024 ruling by Judge Jason Sengheiser of the 22nd Circuit in St. Louis that threw out Dunn’s conviction.

Dunn was 19 when he was convicted of the May 18, 1990, murder of Ricco Rogers based solely on the testimony of two adolescent boys who later recanted. In 2020, a judge in Texas County, where Dunn was in prison, ruled “this court does not believe that any jury would now convict Christopher Dunn under these facts.”
