Imprisonment is a business in America. Remember that!
-
Everyone knows why he's still sitting in jail in Missouri. This is a travesty.
-
The governor could pardon him. Unfortunately in 2023 these officials aren’t for the people or the facts.
-
LET CHRIS DUNN OUT OF JAIL!!!! This is SICK…MISSOURI IS SICK…AMERICA IS SICK!
-
This is why I believe our criminal justice system needs reform. Innocent people need to be set free.
-
So in other words Missouri don't give a damn if you're innocent or not
-
People don’t understand how often innocent people take plea deals. We’re taught to think that if someone pleads Guilty then they must be guilty. I believe anyone proven to be wrongfully convicted should be given restitution and no less than 1 million per year for every year they were in jail.
-
Lord please set this brother free. This is just HORRIBLE.
-
Free this man and stop wasting his time and our tax dollars.
-
What is wrong with Missouri? This is heartbreaking. No justice for the victim and no justice for Mr. Dunn!
-
This is an absolute travesty and absolutely unacceptable. This needs to be changed IMMEDIATELY!! How dare the state do this to people. It is disgusting!!!! This man’s whole life has been taken from him and now they won’t let him out? Our justice system is so flawed and these prosecutors who do this to people should go to jail themselves.
-
As long as we make money off prisoners, it’s not gonna be an equal system.
-
"lifers aren't entitled to innocence claims". And innocent people don't belong serving life. Crazy, I know.
-
They dont wanna pay up if they let him go
-
Please CBS continue to report on this. This man should be out of prison now.
-
Insane. This man’s life has been Stolen!
-
😢 they don't want to admit that they got it wrong
-
Wow he’s way calmer and humbler than I would be. Free this man
-
His entire life destroyed. Utterly disgraceful. Those that refuse freedom to the innocent should serve equal time to their knowledge of knowing and not acting. Having information and deciding not to do the just thing is criminal. This is one of the many problems with the justice system.
-
America would rather have innocent people serving life sentences than admit to wrongdoing. For some Americans (mostly Republicans), preserving the justice system at all cost, especially for poor people and minorities, is more important than the truth.
