Colono made a comment to Pring-Wilson, and then Pring-Wilson allegedly opened the door of Colono’s car. In the ensuing fight, Pring-Wilson stabbed Colono five times with his penknife.
Pring-Wilson claims he was the victim of circumstances, but the prosecution charges that the attack was unwarranted.
Pring-Wilson is currently under house arrest in Somerville.
