Noting his lack of a prior arrest record and the unlikeness that he will re-offend, today a New Jersey judged sentenced former Rutgers student Drarun Ravi to only 30 days in jail and probation in the case of the suicide of his gay roommate Tyler Clementi. More on the sentencing will follow shortly in this post.

UPDATE: The probation period is three years and includes 300 hours of community service. Ravi has also been fined $11,950 which is to be paid in monthly installments. Ravi will not be deported.

Honestly, 10 years seemed a bit much but 30 days. Even without the hate crime it seems to be way to little given the crime and the obstruction of justice that Ravi engaged in. Add in the hate crime and this is an absurdly minimal sentence. We deserved more as did he. Tyler will never graduate college, never get married or civil unionized, never have kids, never have a career, he will forever more be the scared, sad young man who jumped off that bridge for that Ravi deserved to be jailed for more than one, single, solitary month.
