http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Tyler_Clementi#Court_case

 

A Rutgers freshman who left his computer on and pointed the webcam at his roommate (who he suspected was gay). Tweeted out for others to watch and they saw him making out with a guy. The gay kid then jumped of a bridge.

 

He just got 30 days. 3 years probation. Counseling for cyber bullying and alternative lifestyles. $10K fine to go to victims of bias crimes...

Ah yes, we've heard about that one a lot here in the NYC market. It was not a very nice thing to do, but tossing a kid in jail for several years for taping his roommate fooling around is a gross miscarriage of justice. Anyone who jumps off a bridge has issues a lot deeper than being taped making out with another guy.

Agreed. Prosecution probably going to appeal this sentencing I think. Good sentence for Ravi he's got to be pleased.

I just saw on Yahoo he got 30 days. That seems about right; it sends a little message to others.

 

The news was talking about him getting up to ten years, which would have been insane.
