A Missouri man was freed from prison Tuesday after his murder conviction was overturned after 34 years behind bars, despite the state attorney general's efforts to keep him there. 'I never gave up because my family never gave up,' Christopher Dunn said from the steps of the downtown St. Louis courthouse. 'It's easy to give up in prison when you lose hope. But when the system throws you away, you have to ask yourself if you wanted to just settle for it or fight for it.
'What's happening now is another form of lynching,' said another speaker, Zaki Baruti of the Universal African People's Organization.Bailey's office, in an earlier statement, said the effort to keep Dunn in prison was warranted.'Throughout the appeals process, multiple courts have affirmed Christopher Dunn's murder conviction,' the statement read. 'We will always fight for the rule of law and to obtain justice for victims.
