( CNN ) -- Dharun Ravi , the former Rutgers University student convicted of bias intimidation by use of a hidden webcam , is expected to appear in court on Wednesday , one day after he apologized for his behavior and said he plans to submit to his impending jail sentence . `` I accept responsibility for and regret my thoughtless , insensitive , immature , stupid and childish choices that I made on September 19 , 2010 , and September 21 , 2010 , '' Ravi said in a written statement on Tuesday . Ravi was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail , three years of probation and must complete 300 hours of community service aimed at assisting victims of bias crimes . He plans to surrender himself on Thursday . Ravi also must pay more than $ 11,000 in restitution . The state 's decision to appeal the sentence automatically stayed it , according to Ravi 's attorney Steven Altman . He is allowed , however , to chose to go ahead and serve it so long as he waives any double jeopardy claim , the attorney said . The purpose of Wednesday 's court appearance is to place that waiver on the record , said Altman . `` I decided to accept and hopefully complete the sentence as soon as possible . It 's the only way I can go on with my life , '' Ravi said in his statement . Ravi 's gay roommate killed himself by jumping off New York 's George Washington Bridge . Tyler Clementi , an 18-year-old freshman , plunged to his death into the Hudson River after learning Ravi had secretly spied via a webcam as Clementi had an intimate encounter with another man . Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan has said Ravi 's crimes warranted `` more than a 30-day jail term '' and called Superior Judge Glenn Berman 's sentence `` insufficient under the sentencing laws of this state , the facts that were determined by a jury and long-standing appellate precedent . '' Was 30-day sentence fair ? Calling the appeal `` a registering of outrage , '' CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said there is `` very little chance '' the sentence will be overturned . He noted that under New Jersey law , the judge had the flexibility to sentence Ravi to anything from zero to 10 years in prison .
