Many of you have likely heard the story of former Rutger’s student Dharun Ravi.
Ravi, 20, was recently found guilty of a hate crime today for using a webcam to spy on his gay roommate, Tyler Clementi. Clementi’s case gained national attention when he committed suicide shortly after the spying by jumping off the George Washington Bridge Sept. 22, 2010.
Last week Ravi was convicted of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation, witness tampering and hindering arrest, stemming from his role in activating the webcam to peek at Clementi’s date with a man in the dorm room on Sept. 19, 2010. Ravi was also convicted of encouraging others to spy during a second date, on Sept. 21, 2010, and intimidating Clementi for being gay.
According to ABC News, three of the convictions carry a sentence of five to 10 years in prison. Because Ravi is a citizen of India, and is in the U.S. on a green card, he could be deported following his sentencing.
Take a look at the video below while the verdicts to various counts were being read. Ravi mostly has a stoic expression on his face, except for some expressions of surprise to the jury’s decision on certain counts.
What do you see?
I am unfamiliar with the case or this individual but in addition to the expressions of surprise I see:
1:34 shakes head in disbelief
1:50 disgust
2:16 surprise
2:30 contempt
2:54 slight contempt
3:16 slight contempt
I noticed surprise and an extreme amount of contempt showing up on Ravi’s face.
Michael Dundas , take a look at 1:34 , when he shook his head in disbelief , there is a slight disgust , just take a look
Take a look at 1:34 , when he shook his head in disbelief , there is a slight contempt ( like the judgement is unfair )
and to 2:25 , look at his nose , Anger
2:29 , Disgust
Yes there was a lot of contempt at the end of this video. Did anybody catch the big gulp around 1.25?
I noticed something that looked like concealed happiness a few times
