The Michigan attorney general said Michigan State University’s refusal to disclose thousands of documents related to the Larry Nassar investigation has forced her office to close its investigation. Attorney General Dana Nessel has led the three-year investigation into the university and its role in Nassar’s crimes -- but in February of this year, Nessel said the investigation was going nowhere. The University’s refusal to voluntarily provide them closes the last door available to finish our investigation,” reads the statement from Nessel. AdAccording to Nessel, the investigation is inconclusive due to the 6,000 documents that have not been released to investigators by the MSU Board of Trustees, citing attorney-client privilege. The attorney general’s office has no legal options available to it that would allow for review of the material without the MSU Board of Trustee’s consent.

DETROIT – The Michigan judge who sentenced sports doctor Larry Nassar to 40 years in prison made “wholly inappropriate” remarks about him, but they weren't enough to violate his rights and upset the punishment for sexual assault, the state appeals court said Tuesday. In a 2-1 decision, the court noted that Judge Rosemarie Aquilina still stuck to the sentencing agreement made by prosecutors and Nassar's attorneys. Judge Douglas Shapiro disagreed with the majority and said Nassar deserved to return to court in front of a different judge. Despite Aquilina's “inflammatory hyperbole,” the court noted that Nassar pleaded guilty and agreed to a minimum sentence ranging from 25 years to 40 years. Nassar could ask the Michigan Supreme Court to look at the sentencing.

Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday named an ethics expert to Michigan State Universitys governing board, filling a vacancy left by a trustee who resigned over the boards decision to drop a promised independent review of Larry Nassars sexual assaults. Whitmer, a Michigan State alumna, said it was important to add someone who is seeped in ethics to the eight-member board as it continues to confront the Nassar scandal. Someone who has an understanding of and expertise in ethics is one way of giving people confidence in the leadership of the university, Whitmer, a Democrat, told The Associated Press. Asked if she had confidence in the board of trustees, Whitmer said: There have been a lot of missteps, and thats putting it lightly. That followed 10 years at Michigan State, where she got tenure at the College of Law.
