8. At least TWO people have died as a result of Nassar's actions!

One was a victim of this monster, who decided she could not live with the pain of what he did, and committed suicide. Her mother spoke for her at the hearing.
The other was the father of a victim who had insisted for years that his daughter apologize to Nassar for her accusations, causing them to become estranged. When the truth finally emerged, he could not live with his own treatment of his daughter. In ill health, he killed himself.
This is a local story, and the head of MSU is taking a lot of criticism over their lousy handling of this matter. I hope this judge throws the book at him!
