Outrageous verdict. There is no way Wilson had a chance
of getting off for fear of an "uprising".

The fix was in that he was going to get 5,6 or 7 years.

The Globe's opinion pieces today are equally outrageous.
Assuming it is a suspicious to carry a knife in the
first place.

this was so wrong, but your D.A. will be stepping up to John Kerry's seat if Elected. We are asking everyone interested to demand that Alex is protected in custody. They have assigned him to a Prison ran by the Latin Kings of which the Colono and his cousin were members. We in Colorado will hold the Common Wealth responsible for his safety God Bless this young man and consider the fact that in this country you are NO longer to use the Self-Defense rights granted to you as an individual

You guys are all idiots, Pring wilson deserved everything he got, and i am sure that he will become someone's bitch in prison. remember he will probably go to HELL becuase he killed someone. i hope he does anyways.

I live no where near MA and have been following this trial. If I were on that jury, there would have been a hung jury, as in no way, shape or form do I believe this was not self defense. Yes he stabbed, yes he killed, but I do not believe it was "voluntary" and I do not believe the jury took all the evidence into consideration. How about the phone call to his girlfriend in Colorado ending in "Hey, wait..." or something to that effect. Obviously many of you have never been in a fight situation, especially 2-against-1. Those who have, as well as women in an abusive home, all understand what it means to fight for your life. And to those ignorant enough to wish him harm in jail are as ignorant as that jury who convicted and the judge who sentenced. Shame on you...and I hope you end up in the same situation at some point in your hateful, miserable existance.

Well said, Deborah.

I think that this trial was an outrage! I'm a hispanic from the "wrong side of the tracks" and I believe that Colono deserved what he got. Rodriguez should be in jail for involuntary manslaughter, and Pring-Wilson should be a free man! The class structure should not come into play here. The respective families of Rodriguez and Colono knew that Rodriguez was violent, and that Colono was involved in drugs. They grilled Alex for drinking, and everyone seemed to forget that Sammy and Michael had been drinking, too!
I think that it's outrageous that they put him in a maximum-security prison with convicted murderers! If they let him off on bail because they didn't think that he was a risk, they should have at least granted him a minimum-security prison with less violent offenders. He doesn't deserve to be in there. I would gladly sign any petition and do anything in my power to help the Pring-Wilson case.
I hope that Pring-Wilson is granted an appeal and a jury that will debate the entire spectrum of the evidence will grant him what he should have gotten in the first place: his life back.

Here's a petition I've come across for APW. Please sign it and encourage others to do the same.
