State lawyers for Nassar said in a brief that despite the emotional nature of the case, Nassar’s sentence was not “individualized” and the judge should not have allowed victims to speak about things other than Nassar, nor should she have shown admiration for some of their statements.
Lawyers for Nassar are also requesting a different judge sentence Nassar.

"Re-assignment is advisable to preserve the appearance of justice, and the reassignment would not entail waste and duplication out of proportion to any gain in preserving the appearance of fairness."
