Penn State scorn versus Michigan State scorn

From ESPN:

Though Nassar was apologetic during his statement, Aquilina read sections of a letter he submitted to the court last week in which he maintains that what he did was medical and not sexual in nature. He wrote that media reports sensationalized the stories about his abuse and he was forced to admit that they were sexual in nature in order to get a plea deal.

“I was a good doctor,” he wrote.

Both sides....

 

I understand that at UT-Austin, the volleyball team actually has a team gynecologist. I would assume that's the norm across all the major powers. As one of the moms in our (erstwhile) volleyball circle said once, "It's like they own you."

 

Larry Nassar gets 40 to 175 years in prison

 

That's good. That will keep him in there for life.

And no, the entire MSU athletic program should not be shuttered. The punishments should be doled out to the guilty parties. And the guilty parties don't include some guy on the soccer team or some girl on the swim team. This is where people get wild-eyed and start throwing shit against the wall.

 

Thoughts from the lawyers around here?

 

Woman on the swim team.

 

Sorry. You are absolutely correct.

 

I don't know enough about the case. "Treated unfairly" and "sentenced too harshly" are not exactly legal terms.

 

Well, for starters, what does that translate to in terms of parole? Is there any chance that such a sentence could result in him being paroled in his lifetime?

EDIT: It gets somewhat tougher to imagine him ever getting out upon seeing that this sentence is piggybacked on the 60-year sentence he had already received.

 

Per her twitter bio, here's her legal background:
Writer, crafter, politico, nerd. Senior Ed. @realDailyWire. Unlikely WWII historian. Cat lady. 1/7 of @Ladybrainscast. Opinions my own but should be yours.

 

So? Does your Twitter bio say "Admitted know-nothing"? She's a journalist who is interested in the news. It's a valid question regarding this case. Not like she's a stripper or accountant commenting on things they are largely oblivious to.

 

The fact that her self-description doesn't include "attorney" would lead me to dismiss her opinion.
