LANSING - Judge Rosemarie Aquilina has denied Larry Nassar's request for a new sentence on his Ingham County sexual assault convictions.
The bid began earlier this month when Nassar's court-appointed appellate attorneys filed the motion seeking a new sentence and a motion to remove Aquilina from the case, calling her biased against their client.
Aquilina refused to remove herself and the Ingham County chief judge denied an appeal of that decision filed by Nassar's attorneys. She denied the motion for a new sentencing during a motion hearing this afternoon.
Both Aquilina's denial of the new sentencing hearing and the chief judge's decision to keep her on the case can be appealed.
