Today’s court proceedings are expected to be dramatic. Ravi, who did not testify during the trial, will have the option of speaking before his sentencing. His victims, including the Clementi family, are also expected to address the court.

Today’s court proceedings are expected to begin with a hearing on a defense motion requesting a new trial. If that is not granted, Ravi’s sentencing will follow.

Superior Court Judge Glenn Berman has discretion in how much prison time, if any, to give Ravi. Legal experts say, whatever Berman’s sentence, Ravi’s case is likely to be appealed. That could delay any prison term for years.

Ravi, a citizen of India who grew up in New Jersey, could also face deportation.

The judge’s sentencing decision will be closely watched in the legal community, said Marc Poirier, a Seton Hall School of Law professor who has studied hate crime law.

"It’s a very novel application of hate crimes," said Poirier, who recently spoke at a rally in support of Ravi. "We typically don’t send people to jail for bullying."
