<p>Randall Margraves had asked the Michigan judge for five minutes in a locked room with Larry Nassar, the ex-USA Gymnastics doctor now convicted of having sexually assaulted scores of young girls and women under his care.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The judge had turned down Margraves, whose three daughters were among Nassar&#39;s victims. &quot;That&#39;s not how our legal system works,&quot; the judge said.&nbsp;</p>
