I am not defending either party here, I just have an experince to share. When I was just out of high school, I was dating this girl with an absolutely crazy mother. I can remember being at her house one night. Her mother and step father (her moms 3rd husband) got into an argument right in front of us. She ran into the bath room after a verbal confrontation. He chased after her, pleading with her to come out. About 10 minutes later, the police showed up, and busted in the door. They immediatly put him in hand cuffs. Then went to see her in the bathroom. When she came out, neither of us (my at the time gf or me) could figure out how she had gotten so bloody when all we saw was a verbal argument. Come to find out, she had gone into the bathroom to beat the $h!t out of herself, and then used her cell to call the police. After putting him in the back of the cop car, talking to her, talking to us, and assesing the situation, the poilice came back inside and put her in cuffs, took him out of the back of the car, took his cuffs off and the two of them switched places. She was arrested for****false something***** (it's been 10 years, i don't remember what it was exactly), and then taken to the pshyc ward for evaluation. As far as I know, she is still there in the pshyc ward. The husband/step father was awarded custody of my ex-gf's little brother, because he was a real "stand-up" guy. And my ex-gf was happy with it, she also stayed living with him.
Females are dangerous creatures. They can become very vindictive when pushed, just like males. Only they seek to destroy, not harm. Who knows what happened here. If it's his fault, rot in jail. If it's her fault, fry in hell. And as far as the court figuring this out, they won't. I trust the court system as far as I can throw the court building. As for the kids, they will be the eternal victims. If they ares trong, it won't affect them too bad. And in ten years, it shoulden't be used as an excuse to be in a life of crime, or a reason why they beat their girlfriend. Soomeone needs to teach them that this is an example of what not to be like!
As for makeing it here. Good thing it did. Let this be a lesson to all of us as what not to be like. When it gets that bad, GET OUT OF THERE before it gets tot this level, weather you are the agressor or not.

Ellicott gets 3 life sentences for assaulting wife

Judge: guilty verdicts represent ‘death of a monster’
In all likelihood, Michael William Ellicott will spend the rest of his days in prison for brutally assaulting his wife in their Peachtree City home.
Superior Court Judge Paschal A. English today sentenced Ellicott, who is 48, to three consecutive life sentences, each of which he must serve a minimum of 25 years before being paroled. Ellicott was also sentenced to an additional 20 consecutive years in prison.
A jury convicted Ellicott late Friday afternoon of 13 of the 15 criminal counts against him: five counts of aggravated battery (family violence), four counts of aggravated assault (family violence), two counts of aggravated sodomy, one count of false imprisonment and one count of rape.
Judge English said the injuries he saw documented on photographs of Pamela Ellicott at the hospital following the Jan. 20 assault were so devastating, “I think you would have done your wife a favor to have just killed her.”
English said Pamela Ellicott “lived through a burning hell” at her husband’s expense, and he characterized her injuries as being the worst he has ever seen in his entire legal career.
“I’m still trying to figure out, in my little mind, what this poor young woman did to you to cause you to brutally and savagely almost kill her,” English said.
The judge also spoke of the victim’s “chilling” testimony of her husband’s threat to hunt her down and kill her if she ever told the police about the beatings she received.
English also referenced Mr. Ellicott’s use of drumsticks to beat his wife during the assaults. When the jury voted Friday afternoon to convict him, a different drumbeat began, “because that drumbeat represents the death of a monster, and that’s you Mr. Ellicott,” English said.
English also characterized the defendant, dressed Monday in an orange jail jumpsuit, as “a control freak” who will now have his life controlled for him in prison.
At times during his lecture, English castigated Michael Ellicott for his conduct during the trial.
“For you to say that you loved her and that you did not want a divorce from her, what a charade!” English said.
The judge also pointed out that Michael Ellicott smiled and laughed during the trial despite the serious nature of the allegations against him.
“I don’t think you ever thought for a second that you were going to be convicted,” English said.
English said Michael Ellicott’s conduct not only besmirched himself but also his co-workers at Delta Air Lines where he flew large jets and the U.S. military under which he flew an F-15 fighter jet.
The three life sentences with the minimum 25 year prison service requirement are the minimum allowed under Georgia law for the charge of rape and aggravated sodomy.
Prior to sentencing, Ellicott attorney Don Samuel asked the court to have the sentences run concurrent, meaning they would be served at the same time.
English, after his lecture, chose to impose the consecutive sentences instead, meaning they must be served one after the other.

One would hope that there would be some kind of extended benefits for his wife/kids to help them recover from this traumatic experience since they were probably depending on this guy's Delta stuff to get them through life. We do it for other family members when airplanes crash...we have a system and the resources.
...you know that Delta family values thing.
