<p>I am not surprised they found Ravi guilty either – given the wording of the law and the jury instructions they were given . However, he was not found guilty of ALL the charges; the jury was clearly attempting to read the law and the charges very carefully and only found him guilty of those supported by the evidence they were given. </p>
<p>And, yes, it must have been very difficult for them to separate Clementi’s suicide and Ravi’s involvement, given that Clementi spent so much of his last hours obsessively checking Ravi’s twitter to see whether he had written anything else (38 times after Ravi’s second twitter). Even if Ravi’s actions were not the direct cause, it is easy to see how the jury may have felt those actions were a contributing factor if not the breaking point for an already emotionally troubled young man.</p>
