answer:I’m not against a civil suit based on the death…but I think anything criminal shouldn’t even be brought up as a potential charge. The only exception would be if Clementi had indicated with certainty that broadcast of his sexual encounter would cause him enough pain to commit suicide. Otherwise, the criminal charge would have to be based on the fact that the two students knew, reasonably should have known, etc. that this invasion would cause Tyler Clementi enough stress to commit suicide. I think that just reinforces the idea that we expect shame from exposure regarding homosexuality. I make this point only because, based on current information, it seems clear that any charge for criminal responsibility in the death would just fail.
