Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi had a sexual encounter with another man while his roommate, Dharun Ravi, spied on them with a webcam. Soon after, Clementi leapt to his death from the George Washington Bridge. Today, Ravi faces consequences: 15 criminal charges and up to 10 years in prison. We here at "MHP" are keeping an eye on testimony in his trial via this live link, as well as the following:

- Did income inequality actually cause the financial crisis?
- In the ongoing recovery, are we in the morning -- or dawn -- in America? TPM has charts, son.
