I don't know this guy but some of you may. Word is he washed out of F-15 RTU c. 1987 +/- a few. The judges here in Fayette County, GA don't mess around:

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.

TOPEKA, Kansas - A former Army cook convicted of multiple rapes and murders is set to die next month in what would be the U.S. military's first execution in more than 50 years.

The military said Nov. 20 that former Soldier Ronald A. Gray is to be executed Dec. 10 at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Gray was arrested in connection with four slayings and eight rapes in the Fayetteville, North Carolina, area between April 1986 and January 1987, while he was stationed at the Fort Bragg military base. He was convicted of murdering two women.

President George W. Bush approved Gray's execution in July, and a month later Army Secretary Pete Geren set the execution date and ordered that Gray be put to death by injection. The date was publicly released Nov. 20.

Gray has appealed his case through military courts and the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case in 2001. Wright said Gray had two legal options remaining: filing a petition with a federal appellate court to stay the execution, or request that the president reconsider approval of the execution.

Army personnel will be responsible for conducting the execution in Indiana based on an agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

Only 10 members of the military have been executed since 1951, when the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military's modern-day legal system, was enacted.

The last military execution was in 1961. Army Pvt. John Bennett was hanged for raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl.

Mario Mastellone , a painter from East Winsor, NJ, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in the slammer yesterday for bilking over $1 million from the federal 9/11 Victims' Compensation Fund. He claimed he incurred a severe back injury while escaping the North Tower of the WTC. "I am a victim," the 42-year-old said outside the court house, who was also to pay $100,000 in restitution and a $25,000 fine.

How was this fraud uncovered? Seems that in 2004, he threatened to beat up his kids' school bus driver, which led to an investigation of just how incapacitated he really was. The ringer was this video, filmed at a friend's wedding barely a month after 9/11 - where his douchiness takes on epic proportions...
