However, People reports that friends of Ravi and Wei clarify that the accused are not bad, but that they made a very bad mistake. Clara Sreeran, Ravi’s neighbor said, “He is a very good kid, very respectful. It’s just a bad mistake.” One of his friends adds, “Ravi is not the type of person who ever bullied anyone. I can’t recall any time he was mean.”
For Wei, her friend recalls, “Wei was at the wrong place with the wrong people. It was purely an innocent prank that went completely wrong. She never set up the camera. She [also] never told Dharun not to do this.”
