Message: <blockquote data-quote="guywhofishes" data-source="post: 216979" data-attributes="member: 337">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.- - - Updated - - -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."- - - Updated - - -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.<img src="http://radiocms-images.us1.eldarioncloud.com/resize/750/https://storage.googleapis.com/media.mwcradio.com/mimesis/2018-05/09/BLAINE_ELLIS_ND_DEPARTMENT_OF_CORRECTIONS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
