The guy still thinks he's done nothing wrong...

This country is worthy of judges ONLY like this. Formidable, fair, respectful, just. She tempers the law with reality and gravity of each case. Thank you Madame Judge, you give me hope.

when the Judge said, "my two brothers and my father are very well known and respected doctors - REAL doctors, with REAL treatments". Lmao, I love her.

She is the type of judge that inspires me to continue my education to one day become an attorney. I am from Michigan myself but moved to Colorado almost five years ago and have to say she makes me very very proud to be a woman from Michigan! If we had more judges like her the justice system would be in a better state. Thank you judge Aquilina for doing what so many other judges don’t have the guts to do. You stood up for so many of us sexual assault victims who have been silenced. Thank you for being a woman who in my opinion little girls should look up to instead of the kardashians and every other celebrity who are famous for being idiots. You said you’re not very popular with people because you won’t sugar coat things and you say it like it is, well in my book you’re amazing. I wish people were less afraid of not being liked by others so they just lie and put on facades instead of being honest and real which makes people like me who aren’t game playing people stick to ourselves because we don’t have time to be lied to, misled, and screwed over by liars, users, cheaters etc etc. I’d rather be disliked for being real and true to myself than liked for being a fake piece of crap. Thank you for not changing who you are because this case had major media attention and the whole world watching, thank you for doing your job fairly and not being vindictive or pompous but well spoken, eloquent and real. You gave a fair and just sentence because you are very much right this creep does not deserve to be in the free world ever again to victimize another woman or steal a girls innocence. I hope prison is rough for him because he doesn’t deserve an easy time for the trust he broke and the pain he caused so many innocent women, I hope the faces and voices of the strong now survivors who spoke out haunt him every night when his disgusting self lays his head down, I hope the face of the poor young woman who committed suicide because of this unrepentant ignorant “doctor” who took the oath that flat out says “do NO harm” yet he caused tons of irreparable harm to so many, he robbed them of innocence, and much much more. Trust once broken is very hard to repair. You were a doctor you were supposed to heal not harm. I hope you suffer like you’ve made so many suffer. You’re garbage and you got what you deserved, have fun in prison. The other prisoners do not like scum like you. Thank you again Judge Aquilina.

I love how she just takes Larrys letter and holds it like its the most disgusting thing she ever touched then just throws it to the side like the bs it really is 😂😂😂😂. I love this judge

I have a photo of the judge on my vision board. I hope to God there are more people in the world like her

this woman is a QUEEN. every single courtroom in this country needs a judge just liker her.

She sets the bar. Fantastic judge.

Imagine going through one of the worst pains imaginable to bring a human in the world and spend over a million dollars for his good and he grows up to sexually abuse children

This judge is a total badass, I aspire to be just like her.

The father hugging his daughter at the end really made me emotional, the look of relief on his face says all that needs to be said, God bless all the survivors and their families, I hope you find peace and healing, continue being the amazing young women you are

I'm glad to know there are still some honest noble people in the US. Judge Aquilina is a true American - in these dark days, a hero.

Judge Aquilina is model U.S. citizen!

Bye Larry. Enjoy your cage.

wow, I feel so bad for his defense attorney. I can only imagine how much they hated taking this case. But then again they might have been eager and delighted, this case must have gotten their firm allot of attention.

That applause at the very end says more than I ever could.

I honestly aspire to be like her. So much weight is on her yet she handles it so calmly and with a level head. She believes in herself but isn't arrogant. Can she please run for Pres?

Thank you, Judge Aquilina, for saying how you don’t have many friends because you speak out. Now I know that I am not the only one. And thank you for presiding over this despicable man’s trial & sentencing him appropriately.

They were all powerful testimonies, but I found a few that stood out. Ashley Yost revealed that she had anxiety to the point where she had to sleep in her parents' bedroom. She literally banged her head to try to get the horrible thoughts out because the memories were so painful. Mattie discussed the culture of abuse outside of Larry Nassar which allowed him to operate. The mother of the Gymnast that got into drugs and killed herself because she couldn't handle the pain. What they had was a manipulative grooming system of good cop bad cop. If the coaches were mean, Larry would be nice. If the coaches wouldn't feed them, Larry would give them treats and gifts. If the girls badmouthed the coaches Larry would join in and badmouth them too, all the while those same coaches were indirectly helping him earn their trust. Why would you speak out against someone who nice compassionate, listen to your problems, and the only one who would give you food? And how could you not trust the most world respected renowned doctor? They needed him. They endured not just physical and sexual abuse, but psychological abuse as well. That's why it was so devastating. I agree with the judge. there needs to be an investigation into the overall system. In my view, parents need to be there to personally oversee what is going on, so that coaches will be placed in check. There also needs to be a parent in that doctor's office watching the procedure. It's obvious the system won't police its own, so it needs oversight. Having said that, I'm also appreciative of the Judge's comments against retaliation against Nassar's attorneys. Every accused needs a lawyer because of the 6th amendment, so if they weren't defending Larry, someone else would. If Larry didn't have an attorney, those victims couldn't get justice because the case would be thrown out on constitutional grounds. So what the would-be vigilantes need to realize is in their own way, Larry's lawyers are helping the victims get justice as much as the Prosecution. Now if his lawyers use dirty and underhanded tactics to win, that is another matter......

He truly thinks he is the victim. Classic DARVO. From Wikipedia: DARVO is an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender". It is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.The abuser denies the abuse ever took place, attacks the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable, and claims that they, the abuser, are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the reality of the victim and offender. This usually involves not just "playing the victim" but also victim blaming. He is a psychological abuser, as psychological abuse could, and did, lead to sexual abuse.

This judge went from being in the army to starting her own army

The lack of emotion he shows is astounding

Nasser's female counsel has such dignity. It must have been hard for her to defend him. And it sounds as if some idiots have decided to threaten her. That is disgusting.

Amazing Judge. Thank you Judge Aquilina.

If you are more concerned about how ‘long winded’ the judge is or you’re worried she’s trying to get fame and NOT about how this ‘doctor’ got away with molesting CHILDREN for YEARS, there is something wrong with you. Take some time off the internet. 🙄

I think even the female defendant attorney enjoyed the judge's scorn on this.

I feel so bad for his family to have to deal with the embarrassment of his actions. How can we go in the world and be happy when the people we trust or the ones we're suppose to trust are hurting us?

"Its My Prividelge to sentence you on counts 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 18, 24 to 175 yrs", nice

I love how she drops his letter to the side like the garbage it is.

Literally the only adult to fight for these children and allow them to be heard!

I respect this judge! She was respectful, yet also truthful and honest with this pos.

"They FEEL I broke their trust" Oh my god are you kidding me. He didn't care at all

Hats off to this judge.... what a incredible job, The people who turn a blind eye and a deaf ear should all face justice for these girls.The Olympics Board for gymnastics all need to lose their job and face harsh punishment. These predators did not protect these kids that was representing our Country. What a total disgrace, these girls had voices and for once a brave judge heard them loud and clear. Great Job Judge.........

what a killer woman. makes me want to practise law right now

love this judge

This is why i want women in high positions. Not only can we make an impact on how the story of this world is told right at this moment but we can also be a role model to young girls and women. I am 22 and cocider myself as somewhat mature but when i listen to her I feel like a little child that gets so much spirit, hope and inspiration from this Lady.

This is absolutely delightful to listen to.

I WOULD LOVE TO MEET JUDGE ROSEMARIE AQUILINA AND SAY THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

He’s not even crying. No remorse at all

Love this judges comments! She was the perfect person to oversee this case!

The sad thing is, he probably was a good doctor, and his treatments did work, with respect to ankles, tendons, etc. which is why the parents kept bringing the children back. Unfortunately, the price tag on the treatment was being a sex toy, and being penetrated (at a minimum) and fondled whenever he chose. So the price to keep their bodies competitive, and to keep participating in the sport they had given their lives to, was basically being an unpaid child sex worker. Not really much different to me than children in Hollywood. Their parents allow agents, producers, other actors unrestricted access to their children as sex toys so they can have those movie roles. it's basically no different, and it's tragic because for the whole set of young people affected, it sends the message that in order to achieve your goals and get to the top, you have to sacrifice any say over your body, who touches it, and what sex acts you're willing to engage in. it's horrifying. It would've been better if he had not been as skilled a doctor as he was, because then the Olympic Committee, MSU and others would've gotten rid of him as soon as the complaints became more annoying than his skill made him valuable; but because of his value to these organizations, and the money he was generating, he basically was allowed his own harem of underage sex workers.

I’ve watched every video now, and now the sentencing...Bravo to all who stood this test to bring this horrific person to justice! God definitely sent a message when he sent this judge to rule over this case. God bless her, God bless all the survivors!! This includes mother’s, father’s, sisters, brother’s, aunts and uncles. God bless you all for I don’t know if I could have kept my composure! None of these survivors will ever have to hurt again!!....I pray they all took a deep breath, let the justice system do it’s thing! This despicable shell of a man, I hope he does not have one single good nights rest! Another thing....I’m sure his best friend will and is the devil himself! It is this kind of person the devil himself loves to be side by side with. As for ALL the survivors....You are with me always, in my thoughts and prayers. All your tomorrow’s be filled with love and Joy forevermore. Xoxo

Love her! ❤️💪 I cannot stand how sorry this man feels for himself. He’s disgusting 🤢

I wonder what the defense attorneys were thinking when the judge was reading his letter aloud. They were doing an unpleasant but necessary job, but they had to be wondering how long it would be before they could see the last of Nassar. They deserve kudos for being professional in such an uncomfortable situation.

Molested children in the presence of their parents?????/ wow what a pervert?///// sick individual..he is a thing of no description....

Mr. Bean really let himself go

Bet you anything they're gonna make a movie based on this.. Not on that scumbag "Doctor", but on how amazing and brave the survivors were in this case!

I agree with the judge. If he had cancer or was an alcoholic he absolutely would have gotten treatment for that!

I don’t think he feels he did anything wrong and that is deplorable.

I am moved by her dignity, strength of purpose, intelligence, and femininity.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,my gosh. 😒😒😲

This judge is my hero! ❤

I just love how she throws his plea on the desk :')

I love the sarcasm dripping from the judge's tongue while reading his own words back to him.....then the final insult, tossing the paper down like so much shit......also loved the metaphor: "168 buckets of water were placed on your so-called match that got out of control."

yes yes yes! perfect judge....the world needs judge like her...who speaks and take the time to actually tell things as they are and give victims the right to talk and gives her opinion and stand by her word. I have seen a lot of judges that just sentence and thats it no additional comments, but we need those comments, victims needs those comments so they feel heard. AWESOME JUDGE

A true patriot!

I'll disagree that the judge saying she isn't special or a hero.. She is all of the above! If every sexual predator had to face her lime this the impact would be far deeper than they are . our legal system takes these men and women and throws away that key but having them face their very victim as this Provo did is well deserved and should be part of their sentence. They should see their past victims as the strong souls they've become, no longer his victim. These young ladies took back their control and took it from him. He's pathetic and I loved every second of seeing her tell him exactly what a piece of trash he is. Too bad the legal l system doesn't allow the victims father's to deal out their punishment. I just hope he gets exactly what he deserves in prison and that isn't getting protection in prison. Leave him to general pop and THAT is where his true sentence will be carried out.

This judge is amazing

Thank you. It is not as easy as you think. Thank you for listening. Thank you!

after all the sleazy lying lawyers you see in this world people like judge Aquilina restore my fate in the law and justice system. Amazing and inspiring woman. And look at that female defense lawyer.. even she looks disgusted by her own client the whole trial, it is in her eyes, and relief when he is sentenced.... why someone would chose to be criminal defense attorney is beyond me, knowing most of your career yo will defend biggest trash.

How Judge Aquqalina managed to keep from breaking down crying during the statements of the ladies beats me

What a great judge!

I bet when the judge said don't treat anybody, you're not a doctor, hurt him the most

Thank you Judge.

I wouldn't send my dog's to you !!!! "Well said" !!

and all the people who were made aware and did nothing should also be in prison with him, and get the same sentence, maybe more.

he should be in jail for 374 years in jail terms .

You put a stop to this evil man. God bless you

Now THAT is a JUDGE!!! God bless you, your honour, from Australia.

The look on his attorneys faces, especially the woman.

175 years...coulda been life.

Can we clone her for every courtroom in America? God bless this woman

Watching this case and Darrell Brooks- who ran his SUV threw a Christmas parade,killing 6 and injured 61 on November 21,2021. Judge Dorow was a excellent Judge just like this woman.

Thank you Judge Rosemarie Aquilina

It those were truly medical procedures, he would have been gloved, had consent and had another medical person in the room. He's a narcacist to the end. That letter was laughable.

Well DR, nassar will have to stitch up his own rectal tissue in prison.

Henry de Bracton defined Justice as the unfailing will to give each his right. Judge Aquilina held fast to uphold the rights of all the girls affected by this man proving beyond any doubt that she is a real woman of Justice. God in his infinite mercy has seen fit in this case to lay bare before Larry Nassar all of the pain and suffering he has caused before his due time on judgement day; giving him one last chance to dwell on the vastness of the evil that was perpetrated at his own hands. Not everyone who is a criminal of this magnitude gets this same opportunity. If this man passes up this one last chance at repentance then all that awaits past the 4 walls of a prison cell for Larry Nassar is eternal suffering. The bravery of all of the girls and the eloquence with which they spoke in this case was astounding and my heart goes out to all of them who suffered so badly.

So the judge did hit the interview circuit hard after this, full disclosure.

what an impressive woman.

Love how this female judge sentenced this monstrous, indecent, criminal physician Nassar! A female attorney turned judge fighting off a male doctor. Justice!

Truly an amaizing person ....god bless you ✊

This is brutal. Obviously he deserves it, and I would never take this case, however I do feel for the attorneys who have to stand there by him. I know people criticize these attorneys and how they could defend such slime, but people in the justice system believe in the system that says everyone has the right fair trial and representation. I couldn't do it but I understand why there are those who do.

Thank You Judge Aquillina, Mrs Aquillina.

If every women that went thought Sa had her as a judge or someone who deeply cared about the impact to victims of assault more women would speak out but unfortunately that’s not the justice system

Who on earth told him that the "I am the victim here" letter was a good idea??

He wasn't a doctor

I wouldn’t send my dogs to you sir! I Love it

Imagine being his attorney

You wanna minimize stress Larry? Then you shouldn't have been touching girls And boys. Yes there were also male victims.

Judge Aquilina you are an inspirational woman to me and to others. I hope that one day I come across in meeting and said that by not standing in front of you as a defendant. I have always wanted to become a judge. If by chance you read this comment can you elaborate on what I would have to do to embark on becoming a judge or at least moving forward in the direction of pursuing a career in that field.

I would be her friend. Not because she is not allowing the defendant to demean her. But because she does speak out. The recent behaviour of disliking people who disagree with you is abhorrent. Dr. Nasser assaulted 125 girls at least and he is concerned about porn? His apology is not worth anything.

What an amazing person

What's amazing about this is Judge Aquilina is dealing with a true narcissist. She's been doing this long enough to know that yelling, arguing, & getting emotional is not going to sway Nassar from accepting any wrongdoing, despite clinging to his guilty plea. She effectively lets him know exactly what she thinks & what she believes he deserves within the confines of the American Judicial System. She gives a brilliant response. Dr. Nassar is among many other things, a bully. Bullies cower & cannot handle when being confronted (which explains why he doesn't challenge her with changing his guilty plea). Judge Aquilina never talks down to him & never responds with anything disrespectful...but she certainly gives him exactly what's coming to him.

Great job to the judge !! Justice was giving .i hope all them beautiful ladys are doing better and getting all the help they are gonna need .

I see the next Judge Judy. I love this Judge. She knows her shit.

I really do not understand why the defense lawyer smiled so much throughout this. So very unprofessional.

It’s sort of a court order to report it.

Indeed a great judge! Chapeau!

The best judge ive ever seen

Who did he address this Letter to and how did she get it? Did he address the letter to the court or media? I really wish I knew
