NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — It's not just what a former Rutgers University student did or didn't do that's at issue in his trial on charges he used a webcam to spy on his roommate's liaison with another man, just days before the roommate killed himself.
It's also what he was thinking.
Jury selection was completed Thursday and opening arguments are expected Friday in Dharun Ravi's hate crime trial, which could answer at least some of the questions about the circumstances of a death that sparked a national conversation about bullying on young gays and the emerging issue of cyberbullying.
The case gained widespread attention in September 2010 when Ravi's roommate, Tyler Clementi, killed himself days after the intimate encounter. Experts following the case say that like many criminal cases, it seems more complicated than it did at first.
"One of the reasons the politicians jumped in so quickly is that there is a growing national concern over cyberbullying and harassment," said Joel Reidenberg, a law professor at New York's Fordham University who studies online law. "This appeared on first blush to be a very crystalizing example. It became an opportunity for statements about the problem."
But, he said, New Jersey's invasion of privacy laws don't closely match what Ravi is accused of doing. And, he said, the legally important idea that he acted out of bias toward gays is not a slam dunk for prosecutors given the shards of evidence that have been made public so far.
During the month leading up to Clementi's suicide, a number of other young gays who experienced bullying killed themselves. But it was the story of the 18-year-old Rutgers freshman that became a symbol of the problem, sparking the reaction of such leaders and celebrities as President Barack Obama and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Reidenberg said that the issue of gay bullying needs to be addressed but that using this case as a prime example is a problem. "It can be really harmful to the cause," he said, "hanging so much on the Clementi case for cyberbullying and cyber harassment."
Ravi, now 19, isn't charged in connection with Clementi's death. He is charged with invasion of privacy, hindering apprehension and tampering with a witness and evidence. The most serious charges are two counts of bias intimidation, a hate crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison. To convict him on those counts, prosecutors will have to persuade a jury that Ravi sought to intimidate Clementi because he was gay.
"The question really before this jury really is whether this is a college prank that went horribly wrong or really a hate crime where the victim was targeted because of his sexual orientation," said Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor who is now a criminal defense lawyer.
Court filings and interviews show that Clementi, a violinist from the New York City suburb of Ridgewood, told family members he was gay in the months before he moved into his dorm room at Rutgers' Davidson Hall in Piscataway — and that Ravi, an Ultimate Frisbee player and computer whiz from central New Jersey's Plainsboro, found out from searching for information about his future roommate online.
Text and chat messages between each roommate and other friends show that the two were apprehensive of each other in those early weeks at Rutgers. They didn't talk much, though they talked to friends about each other. Clementi said Ravi changed his clothes in an alcove out of his roommate's view.
On Sept. 19, 2010, Clementi asked to have the room to himself for a few hours so he could have company, authorities said. Ravi, authorities say, accessed the webcam on the computer that he'd left in their shared room from the room of a friend across the hall. Ravi wrote on later Twitter, "I saw him making out with a dude. Yay."
All the evidence presented so far in court documents suggests that Ravi and a handful of other students viewed no more than seconds of the encounter and saw nothing more graphic than kissing. One other student, Molly Wei, was charged with invasion of privacy. She entered a pretrial intervention program last year that will allow her to avoid a criminal record if she complies with a list of conditions. She's agreed to cooperate with the prosecution of Ravi.
Ravi, too, was offered a plea deal, but he rejected it. And his reason for that was simple, said his lawyer, Steven Altman. "He's innocent. He's not guilty," he has said.
Two days after the students saw parts of the first encounter, authorities said, Ravi set up his webcam to capture a second encounter between Clementi and other man, who so far has been identified in court papers by the initials M.B. Ravi is accused of using Twitter to tell others how they could also watch. But that liaison was not webcast.
And a day after that, Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge, leaving a last Facebook posting: "Jumping off the gw bridge sorry."
The suicide was crushing for the people who cared for Clementi — and for many others who found compassion for him because of his plight.
It was especially painful for Clementi's older brother, James. James Clementi said that he and his brother came out to each other as gay in the summer before Tyler started at Rutgers. They'd grown closer over the summer, but they weren't in touch once Tyler started school, James told The Associated Press in an interview. James said that was because he wanted to give his brother room to settle into his new independent life. "I imagined that the experience he was having at college was a really positive one — a really fun experience," James Clementi said.
James Clementi wrote a piece about Tyler this year for Out magazine, where he has been working. He said he wants to do what he can to discourage suicide.
"I wanted to reiterate that I know my brother is not an isolated case," he told the AP. "There are a lot of children that struggled with sexual identity problems and ended their life because of it. There are still people taking their lives."
Bill Dobbs, a gay rights activist from New York, came to a day of jury selection holding a sign that reads, "Justice not vengeance," part of his warning about treating Ravi's legal case as a symbol of broader wrongs confronted by gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
"My fear is that Tyler Clementi is a stand-in for everybody who's ever been bullied or found little elbow room because they're gay," Dobbs said. "Attitudes about GLBT people have to change, but they don't change from throwing the book in criminal court, and they don't change because a law passes in Trenton. Attitudes change when we confront prejudice and bigotry."

How to Invoice a Customer in QuickBooks 2012
To invoice a customer in QuickBooks 2012, use the Create Invoices window to identify the customer and specify the amount that the customer owes. You can use more than one type of invoice form or one that you have customized.
1To display the Create Invoices window, choose the Customers→Create Invoices command.
QuickBooks displays a Create Invoices window.
2Identify the customer and, if appropriate, the job.
To do this, select the customer or customer and job combination from the Customer:Job drop-down list. Don't worry about this job business if you aren't familiar with it.
You should, however, understand how customers work. You must identify the specific customer that you are invoicing. You do this by selecting the customer from the Customer:Job list. If the customer is a new customer that you haven't yet invoiced or described in the Customer List, enter a brief name for the customer — like an abbreviation of the customer's business name — in the Customer:Job list.
QuickBooks then indicates that the customer doesn't yet exist on the Customer List and asks whether you want to add the customer; indicate that you do. When prompted, supply the customer information that QuickBooks requests.
3Confirm or provide new invoice header information.
After you identify the customer, QuickBooks fills out the Date, Invoice, Bill To, and, possibly, the Ship To fields. You probably don't need to change any of this information. You should review the information shown in these boxes to make sure that it is correct.
For example, you wouldn't typically invoice someone unless you have already shipped the product or the service has already been provided. Therefore, you probably should confirm that the invoice date follows the product shipment date or the provision of service date. You may also want to confirm, for example, that the Ship To address is correct.
4Provide or confirm the Invoice field information.
Invoices include field information that records items such as purchase order numbers, payment terms, ship date, and shipping method. You should make sure that whatever QuickBooks shows in these field boxes is correct. If a customer has provided you with a purchase order number, for example, enter that purchase order number into the P.O. Number box.
Confirm that the payment terms shown in the Terms box are correct. Confirm that the date shown in the Ship field is correct. Not all these fields need to be filled for every invoice, but you want to supply any information that makes it easier for a customer to pay an invoice, tie an invoice to his or her purchasing records, and figure out how and when an item is being shipped.
5Describe the items sold.
How the columns area of your invoice looks really depends on whether you're selling products or services. The columns area for a service looks simpler because you don't provide much information when describing service items. In the columns area, you want to describe each item —each product or service — for which an invoice bills.
To do this, you use a single row for each item. The first item that you want to bill for, then, goes into row 1 of the columns area. For each item, you enter the quantity ordered, the code for the item, and a price or rate.
QuickBooks retrieves an item description from your Item List and places this data into the Description column. QuickBooks also calculates the amount billed for the item by multiplying the quantity by the price or rate. You can, however, edit both the Description and the Amount fields. If you edit the Amount field, QuickBooks recalculates the Price Each field by dividing the amount by the quantity.
6Use the Customer Message box at the bottom of the Create Invoices window to supply a customer message that appears at the bottom of the invoice.
If you've created a custom invoice form template that includes other footer information, these footer boxes also appear at the bottom of the Create Invoices window. You can use them to collect and transfer additional footer information.
7Click either the Save & Close button or the Save & New button to save your invoice.
Click the Save & Close button if you want to save the invoice and close the Create Invoices window. You use the Save & New button if you want to save the invoice and then enter another invoice into the blank version of the Create Invoices window.

San Francisco-based Current Media, cofounded by former Vice President Al Gore, is looking to lay off more local employees, according to a source familiar with its plans.
The company laid off 60 employees last year, or about 15 percent of its staff, though promised to rehire some in new positions.
Part of the losses will stem from moving all video production to Los Angeles, or even outsourcing it entirely.
The network made the news when a reporter Laura Ling and producer Euna Lee were imprisoned by North Korea, and only released after a photo opportunity was arranged for North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il with former President Bill Clinton.
Current's original plan was to solicit content from viewers and users of its website, but it ended up producing most of its own content in-house and working with professional production companies instead.
If true, the layoffs and relocation of production would more bad news for San Francisco's film and video scene, which has struggled to attract productions and media jobs.
It's also bad news for Current's investors, who had hoped to cash in with a $100 million public offering of shares, only to see those plans cancelled.
A request for comment from Current has not been returned at this time.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify on last year's U.S Consulate attack in Libya before the Senate Foreign Relations committee on January 23, the same day she'll appear before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Senate committee announced Thursday.
Presided by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, the hearing will start at 9 a.m. ET.
Clinton was scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill in December but postponed her testimony while being treated for illness, a concussion and a blood clot near her brain. The country's top diplomat returned to work last week.
Four State Department officials were disciplined last month after an independent review of the September 11, 2012 attack revealed "systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies" at the State Department. The violence left four Americans dead, including the U.S. ambassador.
After the report, one official resigned, while three others were placed on administrative leave and relieved of their duties, said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Clinton likely will face questions about the State Department's handling of security for diplomatic personnel.
The committee last held a hearing about the attack on December 20, with Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides and Deputy Secretary of State William Burns.

I don't think atrocious terrorist activity, in knocking down a few buildings, or crashing a few planes, even approaches the threat to the American democratic way of life, of the internal political cancer that Republican fascism presents. Look for the expected use of the cover of American grief, to implement inappropriately "stupid" responses, dumb spending on cold war defense strategies, and perpetration of asinine social agendas.My confidence in the public to recognize such is minimal,but I refuse to be distracted and let this bastard administration off the hook!

I followed Election 2000 intently and conclude it represents the greatest threat, internal or external, to our democracy in modern times. "Legal vote tampering" has significantly reduced my confidence in the American democratic institution with its inherent system of checks and balances among the various political branches.This atrocity spanned state and federal, legislative,executive and judicial institutions ,including the US Supreme Court. Most discouraging was the apparent endorsement of nearly 50% of Americans. I can only conclude that there is a cancer of complacency among all of us that threatens our very democratic way of life.No pillar of democracy is more fundamental than the vote, and this is not a matter of Republican or Democratic party affiliation or doctrine. Election 2000 is an indication of "bad" people in powerful places.
Despite attempts to redirect blame to faulty voting equipment, and time constraints, I reject both specious arguments. Any voting system will be subject to errors and misuse,and the ultimate equalizer will be a direct human visual check. But, I really do not think this needs defense as I believe most people believe this. What we had was a clear example of a deliberate and successful attempt to obfuscate and mislead the public into accepting what clearly amounts to disenfranchisement of thousands of voters because of fears that their votes would swing the election. My sincere praise to the Florida Supreme Court in their brave attempt to save us from ourselves.
Such willingness to trash fundamental democratic principles makes me believe the upcoming administration is "unfit for office",and that includes the principals and others (including cabinet appointments) willing to implicitly endorse such by their acceptance of positions.
A chronological list of names infamous in American history comes to mind: Arnold; Booth; Oswald;Harris;Baker/Cheney; Nixon/Bush. None but the latest has so openly atacked our democratic system so blatantly and insiduously.
Mr Gore, thanks for fighting the good fight (at the end game) and hats off to David Boies who presented the case(s) so well and clearly based on principle that any American willing to listen would have heard.
It is not so much that you lost,but how they "won", that makes us all losers. This administration shall always have my disgust, and I hope that of history.We should not forget this!
Luckily I never had to go to war, but in remembrance to the hundreds of thousands who have in our country's history,some who made the ultimate sacrifice for democracy, I feel obligated to speakup. They fought the wars over there, we need to fight the cancer within. Our weapon is free speech --assuming that is still in vogue....(New analysis books.)

Contrary to his statements otherwise, three-quarters of Americans believe baseball slugger Barry Bonds knowingly used steroids on his way to his home-run records. Yet most also oppose his immediate suspension if indicted, preferring to let his legal case first run its course.
Suspicion that Bonds lied has grown particularly among baseball fans: Eighty percent of fans in this ABC News/ESPN poll think he knowingly took steroids, up from 65 percent in March 2005. Still, if he's indicted, 55 percent say Bonds should be allowed to keep playing pending the outcome of his trial. Forty-four percent would prefer his immediate suspension.
Bonds and Steroids
|Did Bonds knowingly use steroids?
|If indicted, should Bonds be suspended from baseball immediately?
There's less forgiveness for Bonds' records, which include most home runs in a season and second-most career homers. (He passed Babe Ruth this year and trails only Hank Aaron.) Given what they know now, just under four in 10 fans say Bonds' records should remain unsullied in the record books. About as many say they should remain, but with an asterisk; about a quarter want them removed entirely.
Bonds' Records
|Remain in the books
|Remain, with an asterisk
Fans were split about evenly -- 48 and 47 percent -- on whether Bonds should or should not be elected to the Hall of Fame -- a notable absence of support given his many accomplishments on the field (including seven MVP awards). And if he were indicted and convicted, just 30 percent say they'd want him in the Hall.
Federal prosecutors have been examining whether to charge Bonds with perjury for denying to a grand jury that he knowingly took steroids, and also with tax evasion. A federal grand jury investigating the case was set to expire today; prosecutors said they're seeking more testimony. Bonds has denied wrongdoing.
Bonds is not the only target of criticism. Eight in 10 Americans, fans and non-fans alike, say the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by professional baseball players is a problem; despite stricter new rules, 53 percent of fans call it a "widespread" problem.
Indeed, and again despite its much tougher stance, 63 percent of fans also say Major League Baseball still is not doing enough to prevent the use of performance-enhancing drugs by its players. About a third say it is doing enough; that does mark some progress for management from spring 2005.
Baseball Doing Enough to Prevent Drug Use? (Among Fans)
One potential option for baseball -- reversing course and allowing players to use steroids and other such drugs (as in effect was the case before 2002) -- is a vastly unpopular idea: Eighty-six percent of Americans, fans and non-fans alike, oppose it.
There are some differences among groups; younger adults -- and, most notably, men -- go somewhat easier on Bonds. Among fans, 60 percent of men say Bonds should be allowed to keep playing if indicted; that falls to 48 percent of women. Fifty-eight percent of men would like to see him in the Hall of Fame; 37 percent of women agree. If he's convicted, 44 percent of male fans would like to see him in the Hall nonetheless; just 15 percent of women go along.
Part of these differences stem from broader perceptions of the issue: While 79 percent of men who are fans call the use of performance-enhancing drugs a problem in baseball, that goes higher -- 90 percent -- among women.
More people in this poll than in the 2005 ABC News/ESPN poll -- 55 percent vs. 46 percent -- identify themselves as baseball fans (and another 10 percent say they're "somewhat" of a fan). A possible reason is that the 2005 poll was done in March, rather than in the midst of another baseball season. Nonetheless, on most issues views of fans and non-fans on these issues are quite similar, likely because of the notoriety of Bonds' case.
This ABC News/ESPN poll was conducted by telephone July 19, 2006, among a random national sample of 500 adults. The results have a 4.5-point error margin. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by TNS of Horsham, Pa.
