NEWARK — Former Rutgers student Dharun Ravi has won his appeal seeking to overturn his convictions in the Tyler Clementi webcam case.

The appellate court sided with Ravi’s attorneys who argued he never should have been charged with bias crimes and all of his convictions should be reversed. The decision also ordered a new trial, even though Ravi has already served his 30-day sentence and three years of probation.

“It’s far from over,” Ravi’s attorney Steven Altman said Friday morning. “I’m extraordinarily pleased with the decision. I haven’t spoken with the Ravi family yet, but I can only imagine they’re pleased as well.”
