He may have not apologized earlier on the advice of his lawyers - whether he has now, I dont know. I briefly heard the gay community supported him insofar as they didn't want him to do a lot of time and I believe his roommate Tyler C's parents didnt either
I think that this should have sent a social message that behavior like this is NOT tolerated in our society. Obviously not. The judge's bare sentence reduced this invasion of privacy down to a mere, harmless school prank. It was a "hand smack". At least a year or six months...30 days is outrageous. I hope INS meets this scum at the jail house on his last day, hands him his papers, and drives this scumbag directly to the airport.
Nancy Grace was outraged at this sentence...and I agree with her...a first.
IN this case, the crimes were not severe. So we're looking closer to 1 to 3 years based on your numbers. Personally, I'd want my tax money spent elsewhere than supporting this kid who committed a horrible crime, but could actually be productive in society.
He's a homophobe and a bully. He will never be productive in life. I wouldn't hire him to sweep my floors.

I'm not sure that INS can deport someone with a green card without an administrative hearing in front of an INS judge. They can put him on administrative hold until they can get him in front of the judge though. That means from one jail to another--and the second will actually be far worse than the Middlesex County lock up.
This man is an arrogant prick and deserves more time. We have only reinforced his arrogance and above the law attitude. He will commit other crimes though he may never be charged with them.
I have some Indian clients. There is an arrogance there sometimes. I had one tell me the other day that India would always be home. I asked him why did they come over here, make the money, con the system sometimes and go back to India. He rubbed his two fingers together......money. It took something away from our relationship.

I completely agree that Ravi got off easy and is an egotistical a$shole for what he did, how he's come across in interviews and court, for not apologizing, and his entire demeanor in general BUT do we really need to fault the entire Indian race for it? I don't understand how this became an issue of race. Like any other race, you have the bads and the goods. I've met arrogant Indians, white people, black people, Asian people, Latins, Europeans, Australians, and everything in between-- but I certainly don't attribute any faults of any given individual (or sometimes multiple individuals) to a whole entire race. Come on!
I guess there is now enough for the family to go forward with a wrongful death, civil suit against Ravi....but I doubt they would win.
Of course they won't! Jane Clementi would have to get up and tell everyone again how Tyler came out to her a couple of days before he left for college and how she told him she was disappointed in him. You REALLY don't think that had possibly more to do with Tyler's suicide than the fact that some doofy roommate viewed Tyler kissing a man on a webcame and tweeted his friends about it?
Ravi invaded Tyler's privacy, and for that he stood trial, but I don't think anyone would conclude that this incident was worse than a mother's rejection.
