Dharun Ravi was convicted of a bias crime and invasion of privacy. Relatively minor crimes. But he was also found guilty of witness tampering and hindering arrest. Latter two counts are more serious. Why did he get little punishment for that?

Dharun Ravi is an Indian immigrant. Had he been prosecuted in a Federal court, then deportation may have been a consideration. States cannot deport immigrants.
