Justice?

20 years sentenced, 18+ served.....imagine a daughter, niece, sister, etc.....and no supervision when he's released?

My opinion is someone like this has lost their privilege to exist in open society.

What are your thoughts?

that made me sick when I read it last night

I had a vigilante fantasy about that cold blooded prick

I am ok with shorter prison times but then something needs to be chopped off

Theft= hand
Rape= u know what
Murder imo this is what this was = bullet to head

I vaguely remember this when it happened, I didn't know the full story. Obviously this individual had issues as this wasn't his first brush with his temper and the law. I agree with both thoughts above and don't know if someone like this can be rehabilitated to survive in society but sadly we are going to find out. The sad part of this is that it may take another victim to find out, and if that happens, that to me will be the saddest part of this chapter of this story. There are certain times I do wish ND had the Death Penalty for certain crimes. I know I could support it for some crimes.

Details of the attack, and what led up to it, were laid out at Ellis’ February 2000 trial in Cass County District Court.
Bruce and Ellis had both attended a senior keg party near Oriska, N.D., about 10 days before graduation. After drinking alcohol that night, the two had sex in a tent.
The afternoon of the attack, Bruce and Ellis agreed to talk about the chance he may have gotten her pregnant during that one-time encounter.
They met at a northside grocery store, she got into his car and Ellis headed west, out of Fargo.
As he drove to a rural area outside Casselton, he told her to enjoy her “last cigarette.”
When he stopped on a gravel road, Ellis pushed Bruce out of the car and hit her multiple times in the head with a baseball bat, breaking the bat.
Several of Bruce’s teeth were knocked out, and she was vomiting blood. The farmer who found her said he saw she was breathing, so he rushed to call 911 and covered her in a sheet until an ambulance arrived.

A childhood friend would testify that Ellis admitted to the beating because he had a girlfriend and didn’t want Bruce interfering with that relationship.
The friend also said Ellis wasn’t worried about getting caught because he thought Bruce would die or “most likely be a vegetable."

At sentencing, when Ellis addressed the court, he didn’t apologize to Bruce or her family.
Instead, he pleaded with the judge to give him a second chance.
“I guess all I’d have to say is, I could get an education and have a family one day. And in 20 years, I’ll be kind of an old man. Not old, but you know, it’ll be hard to start over,” Ellis said at the time.
Ellis showed no emotion as he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. There were several legal twists, before and after Ellis went to prison.
Prior to the trial for Bruce's assault, Ellis was convicted of felony reckless endangerment for intentionally hitting a man with his car during a fight in downtown Fargo a year prior.

What a piece of work.
This is when i wish we still had vigilante's to right the wrongs that have been commited.
Piece of trash for sure.

Some times the gene pool needs a good cleansing

I can't imagine being a family member of a violent crime victim and having to watch the scum bag walk out of prison and live a normal life. It would be even worse for the guys that get off on some technicality and never do any time. I'm not sure how i would handle it, and hopefully i never have to find out.

His debt to society may have been paid, but his debt to that woman and her family...........................NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!!!!!!

Maybe someone will take him for a "last cigarette" and beat him until the bat or better yet the pipe breaks.

 

[NDSportsman]

Unbelievable that this guy gets released with no supervision. WTF!

If that was my daughter or sister it would be damn hard not to find this guy and beat the living crap out of him!

 

[Rowdie]

It reminds me of the opening scene of the Godfather. Wish had someone to go to to "take care of it"

 

[dean nelson]

I guess I could see the no supervision thing if this was a one off and happened well he was out of on drugs or something but to plan this out and then execute it only a year after running someone down with a car makes no sense at all. Good time to get out the old baseball bat and see if you can make his knees bend the wrong direction. He's live through it but he would definitely have something to remind him every day of the rest of his life with his completely crippled up legs of just how people really feel about him.

 

[wildeyes]

yea, give me a bat and a few min. with him, i will (pay his debt. to society) no 20 years in jail all i need is a couple of min. cheap just the cost of the bat.

Sure would save one heck of a lot of money.

Yeah but be sure not to kill him.....just maime the ever loving shit out of him! Death is easy but life with a horribly disfigured face and limbs is much more appropriate.
