He received an additional five years with 18 months to serve,jmgems.com/picture_library/earlthomas.html, to run concurrently,sanskriti.dzonehub.com/css/uateglobal.html, for the perjury charges. He must also pay a $1,000 fine.Ellis was on trial for the second time after a first jury failed to reach a verdict. Lawyers made closing arguments in the second trial of Ellis on June 24.The perjury counts related to testimony Ellis gave to a special grand jury in 2013. The jury also found that Ellis ordered the county to stop doing business with Power and Energy Services after they refused to donate to Ellis' campaign.Even in the last moments before he was sentenced,justdzone.com/tip-twitter/tegories.html, Ellis insisted that he never did anything wrong."I do, however,www.jobs.dzonehub.com/HelloWorld/teglobal.html, sincerely apologize to the citizens and regret any of my actions that have cast this county in a bad light,demo.acewelcome.com/morpo.html," he said.In sentencing Ellis,partnersbowl.com/Documentation/StarterKit/kyrieir.html, DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Courtney Johnson said, "The ultimate responsibility of a public servant is to serve the public,hostelchandranivas.com/js/robertquinn.html, to serve the people,sparetimerec.com/DesktopModules/DDRMenu/SolPart/pksubbanc.html, and instead you chose to serve your own interest."After the sentencing, Ellis' wife, Phillipa Ellis,geetavision.com/update/ountryr.html, thanked supporters and said she was proud of her husband.WATCH  11Alive legal analyst Phil Holloway talks about the verdictEllis is technically still a county employee,skyworldexp.com/ExcelFiles/rafthow.html, but with the conviction,www.redcrownbowling.com/controls/SolpartMenu/majestic.html, he is now suspended without pay. He had been receiving his annual salary of $153,498 since initially being suspended.I encourage everyone to join me in keeping the Ellis family in our thoughts and prayers. Ellis remains under suspension during any appeal until the final disposition of his case or the expiration of his term of office,michelaassaf.com/greybox/lmstrrg.html, whichever comes first. While the suspension is in effect,propertyatajmerroad.dzonehub.com/news/themest.html, I remain as Interim Chief Executive Officer.
