Rutgers Defense Hits Witness' Prosecution Deal Lawyers for Rutgers student Dharun Ravi tried to suggest today that a key prosecution witness agreed to testify against Ravi in exchange for having criminal charges against her expunged from her record. The cross examination of Molly Wei included the introduction of a series of text messages between Ravi and Wei while she was being questioned by police. At one point Ravi asked her in a text, "did you tell them we did it on purpose?" Ravi is on trial for witness tampering as well as invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and hindering arrest. The charges stem from Sept. 19, 2010 when the prosecution claims Ravi set up his webcam to be able to watch roommate Tyler Clementi's gay date and he and Wei peeked briefly at the couple from Wei's computer in a dorm room across the hall. Wei has testified that Ravi was concerned that Clementi's date was an older man who was not a Rutgers student and feared he would steal Ravi's iPad. Wei was initially arrested and charged with invasion of privacy, but those charges have been suspended on the condition that Wei complete a pre-trial intervention program which includes Wei's testimony at the trial and doing 300 hours of community service. Ravi's lawyer Steven Altman asked Wei today that when she voluntarily went to the police a second time on Sept. 27, "Did you think you had committed a crime?" "I personally felt like I had did something wrong, but I didn't understand the law...I didn't understand what I did to get these charges," Wei replied. Is it true you didn't want to go to jail? "Yes," she replied. "Did you learn that if you did PTI [pre-trial intervention] you didn't have to plead guilty?" he asked. "Yes," she said. The only way they would let you into PTI was to testify against Dharun? Wei has testified that while she was being questioned by police about the webcam incident Ravi contacted her by text messages on her phone. Those text messages were shown in court today. Ravi asked. She responded, "Yeah..well that we didn't know what we were going to see." At one point Wei answered, "omg dharun why didn't u talk to me first. I told them everything She told them about a conversation she had with several friends at lunch and was surprised when her friends -- who were not in the room when she and Ravi watched Clementi -- brought up the incident. One said it was so stupid what Dharun did... She said she had not been aware that Ravi had tweeted about what they saw on his webcam. Rutgers Student "Overwhelmed" to Hear Tyler Clementi Was Missing,/h2> Earlier in the day, Wei told the court that after her first interview with police she went home to her parents instead of back to her dorm because she was upset. Altman did get Wei to state that the initial charging document was incorrect.
