A lawyer for a former Rutgers University student accused of using a webcam to spy on his roommate’s intimate encounter with another man says in newly filed legal papers that prosecutors got it all wrong and that the case should be dropped.
Nineteen-year-old Dharun Ravi faces 15 charges, including bias intimidation and invasion of privacy, in the case that’s been linked to roommate Tyler Clementi’s suicide last September.
