i guess now he knows how it feels to be involuntarily fucked.

I don't have a hint of sympathy for that sick SOB. That said, this judge is going on at length and is injecting too much about her own life history and her philosophy. It makes me nervous that she's going to inadvertently say something that will open the door to a mistrial. If this guy were to get off on a technicality it would be a HUGE travesty.

but his guilt isn't up for discussion. The WORST that could happen is they lessen his 175 year sentence.

and the trusting parents. There way more abuse in sports than folks know. Ask Denny Hastert.

I’m half a tick from a pitchfork and torch myself.

She has been a tremendous force in this case.

they get caught. To these nuts, the only person in the world is the psycho himself -- everyone else is just material to be manipulated.

a thing of beauty.

Here, and in the MSM.

yeah, and dramatic news like this and it's getting zip for recs.

man, she laid it out, and for the life of me i cant imagine a male judge making those statements, or running the trial the way she did.

And it's near impossible for anyone "normal" to try and understand that.

In a world with 7 billion people, there are a lot of broken people.

He would be incapable of feeling empathy for anyone else. He would not care, in the least, if he destroyed the young women he abused.

quite nicely with his credentials, his experience and what I imagine was a professional, pleasant veneer.

Until one day he couldn't talk his way out of 'an awkward misunderstanding.'

I did not listen to today's proceedings but I have read several of the young girl's histories and their years of abuse. The record is disgusting and perverted. He abused not only their bodies but their athletic dreams. He obviously felt no guilt in the process which can only lead one to conclude that the man is a frigging sociopath.

He deserved everything he got.

The most disturbing thing I heard in that hearing is that the little girls complained to adults and the adults didn't believe them.

The other most disturbing thing is that Nasser abused children while the parents were in the room! He positioned is body to block their view as he violated these children, as if the risk of discover were part of the thrill for him.

Vile.

Someone who is mentally ill enough to abuse and damage scores of young people feels sorry for himself?

Not stunning.

He's gone forever, and that's that.
