Taking into account his lack of a prior arrest record and the unlikeness that he will re-offend, today a New Jersey judged sentenced former Rutgers student Drarun Ravi to only 30 days in jail and probation in the case of the suicide of his gay roommate Tyler Clementi.
The probation period is three years and includes 300 hours of community service. Ravi has also been fined $11,950 which is to be paid in monthly installments. The judge also recommends that Ravi will not be deported.

There's no evidence that this man feels differently about his actions. He has nether apologised nor shown any remorse. in fact, he was reprimanded for not even bothering to stand whilst the judge addressed him. If I got caught downloading a Lady Gaga tune I would have received a greater punishment with the full force of the law thrown down upon me.

ReplyDeleteFarce, he deserves actual time. He knew what he was doing and knew the hurt it would cause.
