The defense rested today in the Dharun Ravi trial surrounding the suicide of Tyler Clementi.

Ravi, 20, is not being charged with Clementi's death (Tyler Clementi committed suicide on Sept. 22.). He is, however, being charged with 15 counts of invasion of privacy, witness and evidence tampering and bias intimidation, which is classified as a hate crime.

Ravi declined to testify on his own behalf.

Ravi faces up to ten years in prison after being accused of using a web-cam to spy on his roommate during a same-sex sexual encounter, and allegedly encouraging others to watch.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Tuesday.
