A Michigan judge has said "there is no way" the court would punish the father of three of Larry Nassar's victims attempted to attack the former US Gymnastics doctor. Eaton County Circuit Judge Janice Cunningham said to Randall Margraves that she “could charge you with contempt. I could put you in jail. I could fine you up to $7,500. I don’t want to do that." Mr Margraves apologised to the court: "I lost control and I apologise 100 times. I’m not here to upstage my daughters. I’m here to help them heal.” While Ms Cunningham did issue a warning to he and everyone in the courtroom against "vigilantism," she also noted: “I understand your anger. Wait — I don’t understand. I can’t possibly imagine.”Given the fact that even the officers who restrained Margraves seemed like they completely understood his actions, I doubt there was ever any serious thought given to punishment. Still, it's good to see that common sense has prevailed here.
