Apologists emerge for Dharun Ravi

The writer here, a one Jessica Bennett*, tries so hard to be PC, but you can tell she really doesn't want to be.

It was perhaps the most brutal example of a private moment gone public. A shy 18-year-old, an accomplished violinist, learns a month into the school year that his college roommate has been spying, via a computer webcam, on his sexual relations with another young man. This student is not openly gay, nor does he know how many of his peers have viewed the recording. So it’s easy to imagine that Tyler Clementi was assuming the worst when, two days later, on September 21, the Rutgers freshman jumped 202 feet to his death from the George Washington Bridge.

There's a "but" coming, you know it and I know it.

But as painful as Clementi's story is to hear about—and as much as the indictment has been applauded by some activists—there are legal experts who question whether the punishment fits the crime.

Well no, but flogging is so medieval.

You need more reasons why Ravi is *sooo* misunderstood?

Ravi’s attorney’s insistence that the images of Clementi—while widely reported to have been “live-streamed”—were never in fact transmitted beyond a single computer belonging to Ravi’s alleged accomplice.

Oh well, that makes it all alright then.
