Former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is likely going to spend the rest of his life in prison. Axios reporter Shannon Vavra joins Cheddar to discuss the long-lasting consequences from the very public seven-day hearing. She describes the emotional scene in the courtroom when Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told Nassar, "I just signed your death warrant." Initially, 88 women planned to testify about their abuse during Nassar's sentencing. Vavra explains why that number almost doubled over the course of the week. She also puts the event in the context of the national #MeToo movement. Olympic gold-medalist Aly Raisman emerged as the face of the victims after her testimony went viral. Vavra considers how that moment could change the athlete's career plans moving forward. Michigan State University president Lou Anna Simon resigned this week in connection to the scandal.
