Was Nassar even guilty.? Looks like he was beaten down and forced to plead guilty. The state was clearly out to get him. The media also.

jan 25 2o18 Many of us have watched in horror as victim after victim testified at the sentencing hearing for Larry Nassar, the doctor who pleaded guilty to molesting US gymnasts under his care. Though Nassar had admitted to molesting seven victims, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina opened the courtroom in this phase to anyone wishing to speak, including victims of Nassar who were not part of the official case.
Ultimately, there were more than 160 witnesses, including numerous Olympic athletes, who gave gut-wrenching testimony about his effect on their lives.
On Wednesday, Judge Aquilina sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison — a sentence she assured him means he will die in prison, since it will be served subsequent to a 60-year sentence in another case for possession of child pornography. “I have signed your death warrant,” she announced.
Throughout the sentencing hearing, Aquilina was praised for her compassion towards victims, and her comments Wednesday drew further exultant commentary. But her words to Nassar should make us uncomfortable. That’s because, perhaps without realizing it, Aquilina overstepped her bounds as a judge and adopted the role of victim advocate.
She told Nassar, “It is my honor and privilege to sentence you,” and observed, at one point: “Our Constitution does not allow for cruel and unusual punishment. If it did … I would allow some or many people to do to him what he did to others.”
That is a human reaction, but it is one you’d expect to be expressed by a victim rather than a judge. (Many observers, including me, heard the “do to him what he did to others” line as a not-so-coded expression of a hope that Nassar would be raped in prison.)
Throughout the proceedings, which were televised, Aquilina essentially transformed herself into a champion for a movement. It is understandable to feel empathy for previously voiceless victims, especially ones whose testimony took such bravery. But there are crucial distinctions between judge and advocate, and she traversed those lines repeatedly.
She talked to victims as though she were their confidante, telling one, “The monster who took advantage of you is going to wither, much like the scene in The Wizard of Oz where the water gets poured on the witch and the witch withers away.”
She passionately thanked victims and called them “superheroes.”

He molested at least 150 girls and you're asking if he is even guilty? You really should take a long walk off a short pier.

Wikipedia says "Aquilina moved to the United States with her family as a toddler, and became a naturalized citizen when she was twelve.[" Wiki doesn't say where she was born and i'm still trying to find out the answer.
Article also says " Aquilina lives in Meridian Township with her parents. She was married after graduation and had two children while in law school; she has since had another daughter and, in her fifties, twins through a sperm bank.[1]"
Sperm bank?? HAHAHA. She's a liberal loony as i thought.

judge was out of line.
the fact that even vox says this (ultra liberal left wing site) then you know it's true
but guess what's worse than an out of line judge
a bunch of girls getting raped by a predator
this guy was already serving a 60 year sentence for child porn charges. not much of a leap that some of these women were telling the truth
women who clearly have an inferiority complex and want to talk about how STRONG and superhero they are, still come off sounding retarded.
