I've covered this before, but there's news today. The state's highest court ruled that Alexander Pring-Wilson is entitled to a new trial, one in which he'll be allowed to introduce evidence of his alleged-victim's violent past in support of his self-defense claim. Pring-Wilson is the former Harvard graduate student sent to prison for killing one of the two convicted felons who attacked him four years ago.
I had hoped Gerry Leone wouldn't pursue this case the way Martha Coakley did, but I guess he's protecting his political future too. Middlesex DA is a launching post for political careers.
Combine that with the utterly irrational knee-jerk liberalism of Cambridge and you've got a real good reason not to go there.
