The father of three daughters who have been abused by Larry Nassar tried to attack the former doctor in Eaton County court Friday before he was tackled and arrested by security.

Before he moved toward Nassar, Randall Margraves asked the judge for personal time alone with the "demon."

"I would ask you, as part of the sentencing to grant me five minutes in a locked room with this demon," he asked. "Would you give me one minute?"

When the judge declined, he charged at Nassar.

1. I do not believe the DA will file charges against the dad.

No jury would convict him so it is a waste of time and money to prosecute him.

4. Besides, the father didn't actually get to Nassar

Your analysis is probably right.

Have a great weekend, LonePirate!

6. It could be considered assault.

Assault is throwing a punch. Battery is when the punch connects.

But yeah, no charges should be filed. What good father wouldn't want to do the same?

11. Might get a suspended 'assaulting an officer' type charge.

5. I cant believe it took that long...

All of the parents showed great restraint throughout the trial.

I don’t think I’d be able to do the same.

7. Watching the video my eyes were burning and my heart was bleeding for that dad.

8. Direct Contempt of Court...

but (after a little cool off period talking to a public defender) Dad's simple apology to the judge at the noon recess will probably end the matter.

10. It seemed like all the cops were very sympathetic.

Treated him with kindness as they restrained him.

I have avoided watching much of the testimonies, but this one makes me want to just cry.

15. Yeah, really appreciated how professional they stayed.

I'm sure they were conflicted as to wanting to let the Dad go and doing their job.

12. How about 30 seconds?

That he apologized to the judge, thanked the officers for how they handled it and that no charges will be filed. (NBC)
