All of this crap points out the problems with thought crimes.

At least conspiracy crimes require evidence that communication and orders were passed.

“Hate crime” laws often leave judges trying to play mind reader.

Punish the criminal act. The criminal’s motivation shouldn’t matter, except when determining if an act was negligent or deliberate.

I’m still confused as to which one was the ‘bully’, Ravi or Clementi.

I lost interest in this story long ago, but this development just sucks and I hope a higher court quickly overturns it and educates this judge on what constitutes a crime deserving a penalty.

How is sentencing based on feelings different from judging based on using foreign law?

…He had been stabbed 93 times. Next to his body, “Die Nigger” had been smeared with his blood….
IOW, without the offending verbiage, there was no hate, but merely a cutlery field test.
This kind of crap just boggles my mind, in that it implies that murdering or beating someone is without malice unless and until race or homosexuality enter the motive.

if you can go to jail for filming girls in the shower you should go to jail for filming your roomate having sex and then throwing parties so you can show the film.

I think someone made Ravi a plea bargain.
