Missouri inmate's wrongful conviction claim to be heard in teen's 1990 killing
Fox News
52-year-old Missouri inmate Christopher Dunn, who has maintained his innocence in the first-degree murder he was convicted of, will have his claim heard in court this week.
A Missouri law adopted in 2021 allows prosecutors to request such hearings when they see evidence of a wrongful conviction. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore filed a motion in February seeking to vacate the 1990 guilty verdict, citing "clear and convincing evidence of Christopher Dunn's actual innocence."
Dunn was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of 15-year-old Ricco Rogers based largely on the testimony of two boys who said they witnessed the shooting. They were 12 and 14 at the time, and later recanted, claiming they were coerced by police and prosecutors.
