The increasingly pathetic defense in the Rutgers suicide case

[marmar]

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Lawyers for the two former Rutgers University students accused of broadcasting classmate Tyler Clementi having sex with another man are now disputing the allegation publicly for the first time, claiming the video was never put online.

Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei were charged with invasion of privacy after prosecutors say Ravi used a webcam Sept. 19 to capture Clementi, his roommate, having a gay sexual encounter.

Clementi jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge days later.

Ravi and Wei's lawyers tell The Star-Ledger of Newark that their clients didn't see anything sexual.

Rubin Sinins, Wei's attorney, told the newspaper, "The statute defining sexual contact refers to nudity and private parts, and, to my knowledge, nothing like that was seen." ...........(more)

1. Wei has pretty much admitted involvement, she had a lot of defenders on here

claiming she just had no idea what was going on.

as for what the lawyer is saying,t hat's just legal speak.

it's like if someone broke in to someone's home and wasn't able to get anything their defense would be they didn't really steal anything.

here is the thing, even if they were just seeing it themselves it's still fucking wrong. and the asshole PUT it outon Twitter what was happening and called on others to tune in.

4. there was nobody who said there shouldn't be a Trial

it was made up by the defenders of Wei. ignoring that this was a discussion board.

9. of course you're gracious enough to grant a trial

but you've already decided Molly is guilty based on, well, nothing really at this point.

10. she said the guy Tyler was with was "sketchy" it was her computer used

that's not "nothing".

do you have a problem with people saying Bush , CHeney etc should be in prison ?

5. No, we just pointed out that the only "evidence" of her involvement

was that the other co-defendant said he was in her room in a post on Twitter.

I don't know how that adds up to "Wei has pretty much admitted involvement."

<Wei later told friends that she only saw Clementi and the man hug and kiss, according to the New York Post.

She also described the man in Clementi’s room as 'kind of sketchy' looking.>

2. They really need to do some prison time.

The "life experience" might help them when they re-apply for college.
