Larry Nassar sent a 6-page, single-spaced letter to the judge saying he is concerned about his mental ability to face victim statements for 4 days.

He also complained about the hearing becoming "a media circus."

"I didn't orchestrate this, you did," judge tells Nassar.

"You may find it harsh that you’re here listening, but nothing is as harsh as what victims endured in your hands," judge tells Nassar.

“This isn’t worth the paper its written on," judge says. "There’s no truth in here. It’s delusional. You need to talk to these issues with a therapist, and that is not me."




Boo hoo, asshole! These women are going to speak whether you like it or not.
