The deceased kick Ravi out of their shared dorm room so that he could invite gay strangers in to commit sodomy. I guess this sort of thing is no longer prohibited in a state funded institution of higher learning.
Ravi claimed he left the camera on because he was concerned for his personal property. He was attempting to accommodate his roommate while protecting his personal property. He was persecuted not prosecuted.
You can probably defend all those actions, but then he went and posted the video online, which shows some malicious intent. I can’t say I don’t sympathize with him, because I may have wanted to do the same thing, if it was my roommate, to embarass him into to stopping his disgusting behavior. Still, just because I can symptathize doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything wrong. 30 days in jail was just too stiff a punishment for it, it should have been an academic disciplinary matter.
It is not at all uncommon for a college student to kick their roommate out of a shared dorm room to invite relative strangers in to commit all sorts of sexual acts. Straight, gay, whatever - doesn't give the roommate reason to spy (and invite others to do so).

If it was really out of concern for his personal property, why tweet about it and invite others to watch?
