Pring-Wilson gets new trial

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has ordered a new trial for accused murderer and former Harvard student Alexander Pring-Wilson. This is good news - I agree with Pring-Wilson's claim that he killed Michael Colono in self-defense. Check the Boston Globe for more details.

In other interesting crime news, Christopher Pittman turned 18 Monday. This teenager was convicted of killing his grandparents after he unsuccessfully tried to blame the medication Zoloft for the crime. It's surprising how many supporters he seems to have - not only does his family support him, but he is regularly visited by several individuals who never even knew him before the murders.

Court TV.

Finally, now that we know who Anna Nicole Smith's baby's father is, there's a glimmer of hope that the news media will start covering more interesting stories than this boring, annoying case. I doubt it, though, but I can always hope!
