Dharun Ravi Verdict
A local hate crime prosecution related to a gay man that committed suicide gave many pause, underlined by the opening segment on "Gay USA" this week. The hosts are okay about hate crime laws per se, but find prosecution here very troubling. I'm wary about both (Hayes today references this) though respect their arguments.
