Dharun Ravi NYT
This article discussed the aftereffects of the Tyler Clemnti case. It stated how Dharun Ravi, who had been on trial for committing to Tyler Clemntis suicide was after all, not guilty. He was however found guilty for bias intimidation as a hate crime and he was charged for tampering with evidence.
The article goes into detail about the extensive, debatable trial. "The case became a symbol of the struggles facing gay, lesbian and bisexual teenagers and the problem of cyberbullying in an era when law's governing hate crimes have not kept up with the evolving technology." Basically the quote is admitting that out laws that were established before some of our current technology are difficult to apply to rare circumstances like this one.
