The verdict, in which Ravi was also convicted of invasion of privacy and evidence tampering, was just.
Ravi should have known his actions could cause serious psychological harm. The anti-bullying campaign has been known for some time. High school students know not to bully; they know the type of psychological damage can cause.
Legal experts say the prosecution and trial of Ravi broke criminal-law ground in that prosecutors charged him with a hate crime tied to a charge of invasion of privacy, rather than in conjunction with a more violent crime, like assault.
Now that Ravi has been convicted of a hate crime, many legal observers view the outcome as a "message-sender," even a potential "culture-changer."
In short, they say, the message is clear: Be sensitive and aware about invading the privacy of, and expressing any bigoted views publicly about homosexuals.
