Dharun Ravi - NYT

This article is about the Tyler Clementi suicide case.  This article differs from Ian Parker's article because it talks about the actual trial (who testified against Ravi and what charges given to Ravi).  It also gives the opinions of more people involved in the case, like M.B. (Clementi's partner when the camera was turned on).  It also talks about bullying and paying closer attention to this topic.  Lastly, it gives the background of Ravi.
This article is definitely more biased that Parker's.  It doesn't mention the texts Ravi sent right before Clementi jumped off the bridge.  I was surprised that Molly Wei testified against Ravi considering she was also involved, probably more than Ravi, in the spying of Clementi.  It was also interesting how the author put Ravi's background at the end of the article.  It seems he wanted the readers to be persuaded by his view of the case by not giving the readers proper background information before the main portion of the article.
