That means he won't be held in contempt of court. A prosecutor could still charge him with assault. Frankly, it would be warranted. I empathize with Charging Father because of what he has gone through, but he violently attacked someone in a courtroom full of people who were victims of a violent male attacker. He probably scared some people out of their minds, in a setting and situation where they are quite vulnerable. Hey look - it's another man who can't control himself and thinks he's allowed to attack people because "I want to".

It is also understood in law that we have a responsibility to suppress our emotions and maintain a dignified standard of conduct. Charging Father was upset when he heard his daughters speak. I empathize with him, it’s a horrible thing to go through. But he had time to reflect. He planned his actions. He asked the judge for permission to attack Nassar. The judge said “No.” He asked the judge again. She said “NO” again. Then he willfully ignores her and violently attacks. Can you not see how awful that is, particularly in the context of this case? It is possible to have empathy for Charging Father, but still vehemently disapprove of his conduct and be unwilling to excuse it. He fell short of the standard the law requires. Hundreds of other fathers in this case went through the same thing he went through, without attacking the convict.

swickles posted:It won't be quiet, it will be intentionally mislabeled as some charity to help victims of sexual abuse. Alumni and others will be donating to it thinking its to help with therapy and giving resources to vistims of sexual assault, except its going to go straight into the settlement. Is that really mislabeling it? If donations go into the settlement, that's a direct conveyance of resources to victims of sexual assault.
