Nassar was sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including Olympic medalists.
“I just signed your death warrant,” Ingham County Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said of Nassar’s 40-year sentence.
The state Supreme Court said that Nassar’s appeal was a “close question” and that it had “concerns” over the judge’s conduct. But the court also noted that Aquilina, despite her provocative comments, stuck to the sentencing agreement worked out by lawyers in the case. “We decline to expend additional judicial resources and further subject the victims in this case to additional trauma where the questions at hand present nothing more than an academic exercise,” the court said in a two-page order.during an extraordinary seven-day hearing in Aquilina’s court more than four years ago.
“It’s over. ... Almost six years after I filed the police report, it’s finally over,” said Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Nassar.This story has been corrected to show the Michigan Supreme Court rejected Nassar’s final appeal in June 2022, not June 2023.
