Nassar hearing: New witnesses approved, trial will stay in Ingham County | The State News | Nov. 3, 2017

During a court hearing Friday, 13 motions filed in Ingham County were discussed. The motions all related to Nassar's upcoming trial in Ingham County.

As determined during the hearing, Nassar's federal child pornography charges — to which he pleaded guilty in federal court — won't be included as forms of evidence in the Ingham County trial.

Other decisions made during the hearing include granting additional testimonies from six women, who all allege they were also abused by Nassar under the guise of medical treatment, and excluding findings from an investigation from MSU's Title IX office.

A number of proposed motions were denied, too. Among those: a motion to push the trial to another date, a motion to change the trial's location, a motion to offer evidence of past sexual history of an alleged victim and a motion to quash four of the charges against Nassar.

Couch: Memo to Penn State – MSU's Nassar scandal doesn't lessen sins tied to Sandusky | Lansing State Journal | Nov. 3, 2017

In a column, Lansing State Journal sports columnist Graham Couch argues Penn State fans who attack MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon for being hypocritical should re-evaluate their own standpoints.

Couch said a group of people in the Penn State community have attacked Simon for condemning Penn State while her own institution has been riddled with controversy concerning Nassar. Couch also said that MSU has been paying in reputation and financially.

"What happened at Michigan State, whatever culpability for culture or oversight Simon had, does not make her condemnation of what took place at Penn State any less justified," Couch argued.

Shannon Smith is an attorney not only for Nassar, but also for Josh King, one of the three ex-MSU football players facing sexual assault charges, and Detroit-area doctor Jumana Nagarwala, who is accused of female genital mutilation.

"I'm very blunt and very honest with people," Smith told MLive. "And there have been clients that have sat down with me and I've said what you are telling me is not believable. I don't believe you, and if I don't believe you I can't sell this story to a jury," Smith said.

Senate Extends, Removes Deadline in Sex Misconduct Cases | U.S. News | Oct. 17, 2017

The Michigan Senate unanimously voted to eliminate or lengthen the statute of limitations for filing charges in sexual misconduct cases, which would allow those who were abused as children to file charges years later.

The change in legislation largely stems from the bill's sponsor, Democrat Sen. Steve Bieda of Warren, who said he saw many women file charges against Nassar years after the alleged abuse had happened.

"You ask them, 'Well why didn't you bring it forward at this time?'" he said. "Well, 'I was afraid or I was still living at home or I was still in this situation where this person who was the perpetrator had some sort of power over me.' ...Michigan as a state's going to stand for justice and is going to stand on the side of the victim in these situations."

Judge denies motion to delay Nassar Ingham County trial | The State News | Oct. 13, 2017

An Ingham County judge denied a motion to push back ex-MSU doctor Larry Nassar's Ingham County trial until after his federal sentencing. The motion was filed by Nassar and his attorneys, where they argued delaying Nassar's Ingham case would help Nassar have a fair trial.

"It is reasonable to expect that media interest in Defendant Nassar will be at one of its highest points on the days leading up to and immediately following the federal sentencing. ... Starting jury selection just three days before will undoubtedly undermine one of the most fundamental rights a criminal defendant has in this country — the right to a fair trail," the attorneys wrote.

Prosecutors also supported the motion, but the judge said she was "shocked and dismayed at this request," stating the jury instructions to ignore media reports.
