You all view him his first but -- district attorney's office of stock right.
So what for commerce social double digit -- AM Mississippi for -- can't talk and which of course even more when you ask right.
Now no not really know yet but out of the charges -- dismissed and I'm sure they it if there are valuation for this and -- is appropriate so.
I'm going to concur with them and they're but I wonder -- -- because -- nature of that not just -- carriers.
But how until about -- -- thoroughly investigated.
Wyatt and why we found on the -- wide became public how to how to refine.
Adjust our it was a -- as -- her boyfriend or -- The woman's boyfriend although the boyfriend approached commissioner Kelly in public and -- it leaked out of the papers that to them you know after that decision in can be seen him.
-- approach to commissioner -- -- Islamabad you do I just hours wonder when.
Somebody to secures like this and it turns out that apparently it's not -- -- Below the beloved -- to the charges or accusation from the Howard overcome orbit of some you know -- -- have that standard like ray Donovan said.
Doctor and Reagan administration support -- -- -- repetition.
Anyway we asked -- to -- a talk about this case in New Jersey.
The structure.
Boosters all of America are burning Tyler Clementi the house so what do you know -- -- Is on child or.
He he actually killed himself he jumped off the George Washington Bridge -- -- 2010.
But reason for the trial is because.
Right before that his roommate cabin in the amount -- -- who's on trial right now he had set up a web -- Two -- watch basically him engaged in an encounter.
Beautiful things -- -- -- -- game whether he is -- he was targeted because he was -- and whether -- invasion of privacy and that's really the -- Of the case and I mean it blew up when a couple days later this young kid killed himself and they said -- seconds cyber bullying is -- bullying because he's gay and that's why and a I think their parent court today what are they charging her more -- they're not charging him with the deaths are being responsible for the death but what they're charged him with with is its fifty county totaled but the big things and things he's facing the most time -- is invasion of privacy which is really look at peeping Tom statute are.
And also via the bias crime which is saying that he was targeting him because he was gay or that -- -- the victim here that he felt targeted harassed because he was get.
And that's really the whole debate here you know people are debating -- is this even -- hate crime you know some people Salem -- never even said that he was.
You know anti gay or had a promise having gay roommate but that's really young's Lotta articles about that should this -- be on trial is -- -- crime.
And wants understandable that the statute the laws on the books that you don't have to you know jump from the rooftops in say.
I hate gay people are or I'm gonna try to give this guy a hard time because of it but if you target someone because of that and here I think that is what the evidence.
May put forth.
That's a crime tip or care if he's convicted of what likely would be the -- While there's a range but he's facing a lot of time in the -- -- and up to ten years on the most serious counts which are these hate crime.
Statute doesn't mean that he'll get that you know he was offered a plea at the last -- I think he was offered had -- the jail time attached but you know tons -- to community service but he rejected that.
A division bring charges like to have some good brother tried those who -- -- brought in charge of trying to.
You'll know he's downtown right now okay trial likely candidate day testimony -- so odd -- they do about do they have these trials.
We have much to bring justice and some reflection of the family or isn't to really implement the law -- -- him.
Or more -- -- -- the reason well I'd like to think that it's both but as a prosecutor primary purpose is to implement the law as you know hopefully you can give.
Some closure of feeling -- injustice to the -- played it again he's not being charged with.
Being responsible directly for his death I'm sure that's what.
Got people really focused on looking and it which is what may have led to the charges in May have flown under the radar if that didn't happen.
But really if there's a -- bucks we can't ignore it.
But the thing was solid -- but I heard about -- -- -- publicity from this sector or fly him.
F.s and even before the to have -- -- spreads are mainly Malone so.
And that's it that's why he's being tricycle leave him alone he expected to be by and -- is Roman and not to be focus on what can't.
Good domestic lamented there's any evidence.
And to -- and were never -- why he was gonna come to -- -- were -- gonna commit so subtle.
Or a lot of -- and kept private which I am glad to see that that much has been kept private for the sake of his family but he did leave.
You know on the Internet you know nothing's private anymore when people can get some -- but he had left a very short you know I'm jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge aren't off the -- GW bridge sorry.
And he really didn't say you know -- had been correspondence with friends of his about him being upset because of this and what he was going to do about it.
And and why it was you know one thing that really struck me when -- read a lot of these emails is that he basically said he'd read a lot of the tweets going back and forth with that the defendant on trial -- and his friends like you know.
Are all his friends like they're the scandal is me and the fact that I was kissing another guy why -- the stand on what he was doing to victimize me this guy is like setting up a web -- and watching me.
Which should be private in my room and -- have to feel for that you know group Warren and I just when I read that that's kind of that's why it has on trial you know it's a crime and and you can see the effect.
Not a horrible situations -- -- Ohio -- and it looks as time.
-- -- -- -- -- But they're -- try him adamant.
All of what basis it was -- -- I'm gonna gonna gonna try to not drive because I'm senator what.
It's early to tell but -- -- -- he's in juvenile court right now on next -- -- hearing I'm quite sure all the in his -- -- seventeen.
So why -- a -- or does uncle.
-- -- -- -- -- But weren't allowed to publicize -- warm and and they didn't the prosecutor's office however I think what happened there is that when his photograph was shown or when someone's song and friends of -- said we know that guy -- they made it public so once it was out then I think immediate followed up on -- but I don't believe that they were the ones that put this kid's -- have excellent customer bullying involved error.
But another seminal sought to killers -- -- and it's gonna all of these are starving and I think you can start to get some sort of a picture this -- is from as you might guess of a broken home.
And lot of problems -- time he was a baby you know lots of problems tort cases violence between his parents and would they really don't know a lot of yet on its face but there was something about a home and at the bottom of -- he had written like all of you die you -- -- that high school I mean this is a completely different school that he went into -- apparently an hour here -- answering and you know wasn't specifically anyone he -- they're -- and if you're charged -- -- not until it's kind of would you charge him.
As an adult or juvenile adult -- -- yet now and it's.
I say that without knowing all the facts of course it's something that every -- -- going to look at really hard and carefully but.
You know if he's -- the juvenile -- penalties she's only a certain potentially up to five years yet you think about that he killed.
And what is the total up to now is it three years four and there's another one seriously injured -- mean regardless of where do you think that he said.
Just pulses that could you pay attention from a list -- -- -- -- having a discussion given to do what -- -- checking your email looking at the news for the next hour but thanks for asking the dental spree in Ohio.
We'll know what I mean you would think we're getting some good information here we are indeed a burger and about -- forget all kinds Immelt ripple -- fell -- -- -- -- deliberately you know.
But general -- were different to Darden -- -- there just aren't trial that's.
But they're.
