Former Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail for spying on his roommate, Tyler Clementi, during an intimate encounter with a man. Ravi could have faced a much harsher sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Richard Kim is executive editor of The Nation magazine. He thinks the sentence was fair, but says New Jersey's hate crime statue may need to be revised.
