| 203 | Robert Boyle | The interests of justice are not served by Arnie King's continued incarceration. Please grant him clemency. |

| 207 | Jonathan Cook | It is time to allow this man to return to being a productive part of the community. |
| 208 | Ralph Poynter | We must believe in redemption if we are to consider this to be a decent and humane society. Granting a commutation to Mr. King is the right thing to do and should be accomplished as soon as possible. |
| 209 | Emily Maloney | Justice for Arnold King! It is far past time that he
received his freedom. Punitive prison policies
are unconscionable. |

| 215 | Gale McGovern | How can anything more than 35 years do anything but add to the injustices of our criminal justice system? |
| 216 | Peter Kane | Arnie is too valuable an asset to his family and a community than to be languishing in prison. Enough is enough - let this man be free. |

| 221 | Virginia Gernes | Ghandi helped assuage the terrible guilt of a man who had murdered a Muslim by advising the murderer to raise the victim's son up in the religion of his birth, not as a Hindu. Is this not a similar story? It makes sense that retribution is best accomplished by devoting what is left of one's own life to saving the lives of others. |

| 223 | Dylcia Pagan | All people thta have human conciousness must create a new work that includess theplight all Politcal prisoners that have andare held in USA golards for the only reason of fighting for the freedom of our people |
| 224 | Gwendolyn Debrow | This man has more than paid for his debt to society. He can make a difference in young people's lives, by reaching back and teaching young people that violence is no solution to the problems they are encounterig. |

| 226 | Barbara Curzi | Dear Governor Patrick: In the name of justice and humanity, please release Mr. Arnold King. He has served enough time and he will continue to try to compensate for his youthful errors by helping our youth today, in our communities. He is a great human being who made a mistake when he was quite young so very, many years ago. He would be an asset to our community now and not at all a danger. Please release him as soon as possible so he can continue the great works he has initiated and carried out from behind the walls. Thank you so very much, from one of your devoted voters. |

| 228 | Joanne M. Dwyer | One moment in time, as a very young man, Mr. King committed a murder. I think we must believe that people can change and grow..... Life is such a precious gift, and such a mystery. We cannot get back the life that Mr. King took.
But perhaps he can help many others from taking more lives. Our African-American youth need to hear his message. Let him be of service. I do not feel he would be any danger to society at this time.
Thank you for considering this petition. Keep hope alive! |
| 229 | James Pettiford | Arnie, has paid for his mistake and has been giving back to society!
SET ARNIE FREE!!!! |

| 231 | Anonymous | I have used some of Mr. King's articles to aid me in educating the youth in a siminar entitled if you can't do the time don't do the crime. I have found out that youth don't really understand the consequences of their choices and actions in a society that is moving in such a rapid pace. Educating them is the key to helping them making better choices in life. I was able to break down what they really lose when confronted with a large sentence to do in the criminal justice system. I thank Mr. King for his insight and desire to share about his life |

| 241 | Christine Aquilino | His continued imprisonment will serve the Commonwealth no purpose (in fact, will continue to cost the Commonwealth thousands of taxpayer dollars). Having given so much while behind bars, he will be able to give so much more and be an even greater asset to community life if he is freed. |
| 242 | Marcus D. Thorne | Arnie King was a speaker for a "Prison Voices" program that I was a part of a number of years ago. I was moved by his desire to help us understand the difficulties of living life in prison, and of living life knowing that you had taken the life of someone else. He is someone who, instead of resigning himself to his cell, decided he would help others avoid his perilous path. While Mr. King cannot restore life to the man he killed, he may have kept scores of other young people from killing, by bearing witness to the tragic cost and consequence of his actions. For that, I support his desire to be free, and request that his sentence be commuted. |

| 245 | Linda K. Degenhardt | I met Arnie probably in the fall of 1972, in Walpole, where I visited him through a Cambridge book store that provided reading materials for him and others. Although my own personal situation took me out of touch with Arnie, I recently found a pencil portrait I had done of him at that time, and found the current info about him on the internet. Although I was really such a naive little girl (of 18) when we met, I remember him as a rebel, with a soft spot for children-- when visitors brought their little ones in, he would watch them intently, with longing. And he talked frequently of his mother and sisters. I was saddened to hear that Angel is gone. But what a list of accomplishments he has had!! I am so proud of him-- he really does deserve to continue his work, on the outside, where he can do the most good. --And to you, Arnie, if you get to read this: you may not remember me, the long haired country girl from Vermont, but I've never forgotten you. Despite your situation, there was a GOODNESS in you even then, and I thank God that you were able to find an outlet for that, and I pray that you will have an opportunity to continue your work. As for me, I am married, have three grown step-children, and five grand-children, and two more due this year. Take care of yourself. God bless you. sincerely, Linda

| 246 | James Higgins | He obviously has reformed if he ever was really bad in the first place he isn't now. This is a case where the correctional institute has corrected a man and this man could better serve the society today that he wronged so long ago. There too many real bad men in prison to keep a good man such as this in prison when he could be a positive source on the outside. Let him out. |
| 247 | Wanda | I don't know Mr. King, but my sister met him more than 30 years ago and asked if I wanted to sign the petition. She said that he has done a lot to turn his life around and deserves a chance to help others. |
| 248 | George Milowe, M.D. | I have been following the case of Arnie King for years and am familiar with all the remarkable things he has done to rehibilitate himself from his prison cell. It is past time to grant Mr. King his freedom. I am confident he will continue to make major contributions to our community. |
