Rutgers Case Jurors Say Digital Evidence Crucial

Dharun Ravi was not accused of causing the death of Tyler Clementi, his Rutgers University roommate who jumped off a bridge after Mr. Ravi used a webcam to spy on him kissing a man in their dorm and then talked about it on Twitter.

.

But for members of the jury, some of the most convincing evidence of Mr. Ravis guilt came from Mr. Clementis own complaints and online behavior after he learned of Mr. Ravis spying. And Mr. Clementis words echoed even more powerfully because he was not available to repeat them.

.

It was pretty hard to think about Tyler, because he wasnt present to give his thoughts, said Kashad Leverett, 20, of South Amboy, N.J., after he and 11 other jurors delivered a guilty verdict on all charges, including invasion of privacy and bias intimidation, on Friday. But in the evidence that was provided, it showed that he believed he was being intimidated because of his sexual orientation.

.

It was a case with a pixelated paper trail seemingly like no other: Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, text messages, e-mails and other online chatter that together added up to a mountain of proof of Mr. Ravis guilt, some jurors said.

.

Given the overwhelming amount of evidence, its awfully difficult to single out any one thing as the most damaging, said Susan Matiejunas, 74, a retired state worker from Monroe Township.

.

Over two days of deliberations, jurors said the only count on which they agreed from the outset was the first, that of invading Mr. Clementis privacy the first time Mr. Ravi used his webcam to spy on him. I would classify us as a tight jury, said Lynn Audet, 45, a schoolteacher from Perth Amboy. We all respected each others opinions, and we all had a turn to talk.

.

Other charges were hotly debated but led fairly quickly to votes to convict on other charges, including evidence tampering and witness tampering, Ms. Audet said. There were text messages missing from his phone but not missing from other persons phones, she said.
