103 Kathryn LopesI respectfully request that commutation of Arnie King's sentence be considered and approved. He could much better serve the public (especially youths) if on parole release. Thank you !

110 AnonymousI had the opportunity to meet Arnie King at Bay State prison where he led a workshop on violence, the dangers of high-risk behavior in young people, and the importance of youth staying in school and furthering their education. I've read many of Mr. King's writings and spoken with him in person. The way in which he has spent nearly his entire time in prison clearly demonstrates that Mr. King has grown tremendously and has proactively worked to learn from and teach hundreds of youth and adults inside and outside the prison walls about decisions, consequences, and responsibility . Mr. King is a different person than the young Arnie King who committed murder, and after more than 3 decades in prison, he has paid for his crime. I strongly belive that his life now would be much more valuable to society if he were living on the outside, providing youth and adults with tools to understand the consequences of violence and helping them create positive alternatives. With this, I respectfully ask Governor Patrick to commute Mr. King's life sentence.
111 Susan c. GriffithI fuly support the commutation petition for Arnie. We need him out in the community doing the good work with youth that he does so well.

116 James E KaddyArnold has worked hard trying to help others not to make the mistakes that youth can make useing himself as a example and it has had a great effect in many cases .My own son has benifited from his teachings and many more .He would be a greater help to so many more if commutation took place.I know he would give his all to this effort the rest of his life .Please look over his record in this area !

118 Ernestine E. WashingtonI know Arnie's story well through his brother. At this time murder and death of our youth has taken over in the black communities of Boston. Arnie's wisdom and experience could do a lot of good outside those barbewires to help with the effort to bring peace back into our communities. We need all hands on deck, and Arnie would be a welcome addition.
119 John T. KingI believe that Arnie King will make a positive mark on this society. There are many youth today that need guidance and witness to a life of a changed man.
120 Benito MartinezWhy is he in there for, I feel that prison is to reabilitate and according to my understading he has done that by getting a formal education and more. But many time that doesn't work and it seen that the State is preaching the moral naked

124 Peter BoscoThe man has paid his debt. He poses no danger -- he can/has served young people. The right thing to do is to release him. I will watch what the governor of the Commonwealth does in this matter.

126 Christina BraidottiMr. King has a dream. I firmly believe that he has proven himself, and has served his time. I have confidence that he will continue to work hard to make our society a better one. Please give this man a chance. Sincerely, Christina Braidotti
127 AnonymousHe has proven more to reforming himself than so many who are now walking the streets.

129 AnonymousI think that everyone deserves a second chance in life, the prison system is suposed to be structured to rehibilitate a person whats the sense of rebilitation if a person is not going to be giving a second chance

139 Kathleen KingI work with children every day who could use the support and considered wisdom that Arnie has cultivated during his incarceration. He would make a valuable contribution to a community truly in need.

146 Robin MerrillArnie is as wonderful a man as you could possibly hope to know. to have him back in the community would not only be beneficial to any and all that he would come into contact with but would also prove that the justice system can work.
147 Diana IranzoFree Arnie!
148 Lauren CarterI have met and spoke to Mr. King several times and can attest that he is a changed man with the willingness and ability to be a productive member of society. To keep him incarcerated when he is clearly an asset - not a threat - to society serves no worthwhile purpose and in fact does more harm than good. I strongly support his release.
