Ep. 252: Did The FBI Bungle The Nassar Sex Abuse Case?

Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis on Law and the Legal Industry

The legal fallout from Larry Nassar's sexual abuse of gymnasts took a new turn this week as more than 90 victims sued the FBI for botching the early stages of its investigation. The claims add to growing scrutiny over law enforcement’s purported oversights that allowed Nassar to evade scrutiny for years before he was eventually convicted. But the victims' path forward is murky, butting up against legal protections for federal law enforcement. We're joined by Law360 senior reporter Jack Queen to discuss the latest developments. Also this week, we discuss a law clerk being removed from a high-stakes IP case because of their ties to Google; how a hold out juror led to a mistrial in a fraud case against a man charged with looting a $25 million fund that was supposed to pay for the border wall; and a look at a copyright dust-up over the new Top Gun movie.
