My Grandfather.
He was a drunk and a a wife beater.
One night starting at about 10 pm he beat my grandma to the brink of death with anything he could find.
He broke the walnut coat tree over her head, beat her with the radio, whipped her with his belt, broke her hands, tired her up behind his car and drug her up and down the gravel road, burned her clothes, and left her outside in February and kept dumping water on her trying to wake her up.
He finally stopped around 5 am when he called my mom because she wouldn’t wake up.
My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and sent the cops after him.
He tried to say she did it to herself and then charged his story to say that she ran off with “a bunch of n*ggers to do cocaine”.
She was in a coma and was pronounced brain dead 4 days after it happened.
There were belt marks on her back and stomach and you could clearly read his name from his belt buckle.
I vividly remember sitting though the court hearings and testifying at 12 years old.
He went to prison, we had to fight his parole every 5 years to keep him in, because he would have killed all of us for putting him in there, for 20 years.
In 2020 he died a slow and horrible death in the prison infirmary of Covid, he suffered for weeks and not one of his children or grandchildren went to visit him in his final days.
