Lawyers dispute allegations in Rutgers suicide (claims did not show men having sex)
Lawyers dispute allegations in Rutgers suicide

(New Brunswick, NJ) Lawyers for two former Rutgers University freshmen accused of webcasting a male classmate having sex with another man are disputing allegations against them.
Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei were charged with invasion of privacy after prosecutors say Ravi used a webcam Sept. 19 to capture his roommate, Tyler Clementi, having a gay sexual encounter. Clementi jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge days later.

But Steven Altman and Rubin Sinins, who represent Ravi and Wei respectively, told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the webcam stream was only viewed on a single computer and did not show the men having sex.

Law enforcement officials wouldn’t discuss the lawyers’ claims, citing the ongoing investigation.

Ravi and Wei recently withdrew from Rutgers. Prosecutors are considering whether to charge them with a hate crime.

1. Nothing.......
I repeat...... NOTHING, will happen to this pair of pustulant freaks.....


They can join the queue of others who just walk away..... (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/27/nyregion/27bias.html)


Take a guess what would happen to them if it had been a Soccer Mom & Dad that they sent live feed of their sex acts to the internet.....


The country would be howling, and searching the garage for the torches and pitchforks........

2. the lawyer here just undercut their "we would have done it if they were straight" defense
it is nothing short of absurd to argue that they would have gone bananas over it on twitter if it had just been a guy and a girl.
