Convicted for the crimes he committed against Tyler Clementi, M.B. and the community, Ravi has been throwing a P.R. pity party for himself in the media, laying the shit on thick with a trowel, trying again to use the "just a jerky kid" defense that failed him in court.
At no moment has Rati been willing to accept any accountability for his crimes, even though there is a mountain of evidence against him, including evidence that he had tampered with evidence and with a witness.
Ravi and his parents are so stupid that they can't even tell that the attorneys appear to be taking them for a money-fueled joy ride. Now they're going to appeal? Ha! Look what their attorney is telling the media, even after the conviction. Attorney Steve Altman is telling reporters, still, that "the issue" was M.B., who looked "strange."
Nice, Rati! Revictimize one of your victims by casting aspersions on him because of his appearance.
Meanwhile in reality, as the evidence very clearly shows, before Rati ever set eyes on his victim M.B., he changed the direction of his webcam so that it would be aimed directly at Tyler Clementi's bed. Having promised Tyler Clementi that he could have the room for a few hours, Rati worked on the details of the plot to violate his privacy. Altman knows he will most likely never convince any jury that M.B.'s "strange" appearance was the issue at all -- still less a valid legal issue in Rati's defense. But he tells these things to the media, because doing so could strengthen the deluded Rati family's idiotic belief that this attorney will be able to get Rati off. An obituary for a successful attorney once included this quote: "An attorney doesn't care whether he wins or loses a case; he cares how many hours he can bill for."
Rati wants the world to believe that he refused plea bargains because they would have meant admitting to bias intimidation, and he "couldn't lie" like that. What a fucking joke, that his pristine image as a non-liar should be in danger. Rati most certainly has done his share of lying about his crimes. He lied by saying the whole thing was "an accident," and yet anxiously wanted to know from his accomplice Molly Wei if she had told the police they watched Tyler and M.B. deliberately. He clearly lied when he said that he, not Tyler had disconnected the computer on the evening he was planning to violate Tyler's privacy a second time. Remember; it was after Rati left the room that day, that he was inviting others to a "viewing party." Rati lied about this case out both sides of his mouth and out his ass, but we're supposed to believe he couldn't accept the plea bargains, because to do so would be to lie?
Face it; had Tyler Clementi been a "Take no shit" type, Rati never would have committed these crimes against him. And, some aspects of Rati's behavior do appear to show that he exploited societal prejudice against Tyler's sexual orientation, with the aim of making Tyler an object of harassment and ridicule because of his orientation. Rati didn't mind that there would be negative consequences against Tyler as a result of his crimes; he minds now, only, because he got caught.
Another thing this jerky kid convicted of these crimes is telling the media, is that Tyler was "OK" with him. Tyler wasn't OK with you, you stupid asshole; he had asked university officials for a room change, but was afraid of going through with it because he thought a new roommate could behave even more poorly against him.
Stop lying to the media, you convicted Rati criminal. Drink a good steaming hot cup of STFU already.
