Mistrial Declared In Trial For Frmr. Harvard Grad

CAMBRIDGE (WBZ) ―

A judge on Friday declared a mistrial in the case of a former Harvard graduate student accused of stabbing a teenager to death, after a jury couldn't reach a verdict after 10 days of deliberations.
  
This was the second trial for Alexander Pring-Wilson, 29, who was accused in the death of 18-year-old Michael Colono.
  
Pring-Wilson said he was attacked by Colono and his cousin, Samuel Rodriguez, outside a Cambridge pizza parlor as he walked home from a bar on April 12, 2003.
  
Pring-Wilson was convicted of manslaughter in October 2004, but won a new trial eight months later when the state's highest court ruled in another case that juries should be allowed to consider a victim's violent history if it is relevant to a claim of self-defense.
