FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Describing Ravi as: “stupid, he’s ignorant, maybe immature and a typical 18-year-old kid,” the lawyer went on: “Why we’re here is because an 18-year-old boy, a kid, a college freshman, had an experience, had an encounter that he wasn’t ready for.” Mr Altman said that his client had made an innocent mistake when he activated a web camera he had set up in the room, and had been surprised to see Clementi in an embrace with his boyfriend, known only by the initials MB during the trial.
Afterwards, the lawyer argued, he had acted immaturely rather than criminally, sending a Tweet reading: “Saw my room-mate making out with a dude. Yay.”
Mr Altman pointed out that no one during the three week trial had testified to hearing Ravi say anything homophobic, and no witnesses had heard him criticising his room-mate.
The court room in New Brunswick, New Jersey was packed with members of the Clementi family, several of whom looked upset as the lawyer criticised the teenager for bringing his lover back to a shared room.
“There’s only so much privacy you can expect in a dormitory anyway,” he said.
Two days after the first incident, Ravi sent another Tweet after Clementi asked to use the room to again entertain his boyfriend. It read: “I dare you to chat me between the hours of 9:30 and midnight.
Yes, it’s happening again.” Computer experts have testified that Clementi saw the Tweet, but Mr Altman said that in fact Indian-born Ravi had turned off the camera and did not watch the couple a second time.
He argued that the fact that Clementi went ahead with his assignation after reading the Tweet showed that he was not unduly troubled by Ravi’s actions.
“Would anybody who was intimidated, scared, in fear, concerned with their privacy continue with any behaviour where he knows … his privacy is going to be violated?
“You’re scared, you’re intimidated, you certainly wouldn’t go back to your room … But no, he goes back to his room and commences texting MB to make sure that MB visits the dorm.”
For the prosecution, Alison McClure said that the entire case was motivated by Ravi’s attitude to Clementi’s sexual orientation, adding
that Ravi had attempted a “cover-up” to hide his guilt.
She said: “He was targeting his room-mate because he wasn’t what he wanted his college experience to be. He didn’t want to have a gay
room-mate and he was going to use it to his advantage to expose Tyler’s sexuality.
“The one thing you don’t want to be in your first three weeks at university is different from everybody else. That is what the defendant was doing here, he was telling people and he was proving what he told people. ‘I told you Tyler was gay and I can prove it’
“The defendant’s actions were mean-spirited; they were malicious.”
The jury is due to begin considering their verdict tomorrow.
