Lex. man arraigned on attempted murder and assault charges

A Lexington man was arraigned Tuesday in Dawson County Court on a charge of attempted 1st degree murder and assault charges for an altercation Sunday afternoon at a rural residence that sent a woman to Tri-County Hospital.

[Thankful]

FINALLY this jerk gets what is coming to him. I dearly hope that the victim follows through with it this time. This guy has beating up women for years and has managed to talk his way out of it, promising to change, etc. Counseling isn't enough for someone like him, maybe prison is. Enjoy yourself tough guy.

I can't imagine that anyone could let this guy walk! Thinking that you could actually talk your way out of this and convince a victim to drop charges would be a sorry shame to let happen. He's right where he needs to be, he's a sorry excuse for a man. What am I thinking, he's no man.

[IMPORTANT DATE CORRECTED]

For all of you interested in watching this abuser get what he has coming to him his preliminary hearing is October 20th, 2009 at 3:00pm!!! Somehow there was an error in the reports!!!

[Prelim continued]

For those interested William Fellers preliminary hearing has been continued to Monday October 26, 2009 at 1:30pm.

[Family]

God will take it course. Don't judge people before both sides are heard. My prayers are with both sides and their loved ones. This is a hard time for all and be considerate of their children.

[wondering]

this is something i have been wondering about. Why wasn't the accident that occured on the south side of the Adams street overpass ever reported on in the paper?

[concerned citizen]

as posted in the Lexington Clipper Herald:

" Innocent until proven guilty...this man has been an abuser for years...and will continue to be unless he is stopped...It is sad that his family has to hurt from comments that are posted, but what is more sad is the physical, mental, and emotional pain he, himself has caused to his family...His family must also remember the victim and her family they too are suffering from the pain he caused...Hopefully justice will prevail in this case. William G Fellers III shouldn't be out on the street to cause pain to anyone ever again...Let's not forget this is a small community and we are all effected, many of us that have lived here for years and know the abuser William G Fellers III, his family, and let's not forget the victims in his past. Unfortunately domestic violence wasn't taken as seriously years ago and women especially didn't think that they could do anything about the abuse they withstand, well lucky for us domestic violence is taken very seriously now and it is my only hope that the substantial evidence (yes there is a lot) stands in a court of law and William G. Fellers III gets what he has coming to him, as a society we can't let him hide behind the name. money, or his bible anymore. "

[What goes around]

Fortunately the story is now being told and for once in this man's life, the victim is being heard. Everyone realizes that their families and children are affected by this, they have been for years. If you were ever affected by his actions in the past, you wouldn't be saying that there are two sides to every story - who can justify this type of abuse?

they both had resraining orders against each other why was she out at his house in the first place? thats her own doings on this for going out to his house!

[Narcissism]

I would challenge anyone posting negative comments to research "narcissism". "Mr" Defendant's picture should be listed right next to the definition in the DSM V...For anyone wondering about the facts of this case, I would also encourage you to remember one VERY IMPORTANT fact that we, as humans, often fail to remember..."NEVER, EVER judge one's actions until you have walked in their shoes". It is often way too easy to respond by saying, "I would have...." or "if it had been ME..." but the truth of the matter is this...NOONE, and I mean NOONE, can say how they would act in a situation until they, themselves, were actually IN that situation. Please STOP blaming the victim. If anyone knows ANYTHING about victimization, you should know that blaming the victim in this matter is like saying she ASKED to be assaulted and WANTED to have her life flash before her eyes. Yes, she went to his home, but ONLY, and I repeat ONLY, after trying to see the good in Mr. Fellers, and, once again, believing him when he said he would change his ways. The victim in this matter believed he had some good in him, or she would not have placed faith in him in the first place. Unfortunately, his "ways" had NOT changed and she fell prey, once again, to his narcissism. It's a sad. Stop blaming and let the courts determine his guilt and/or innocence. One more thing...Mr. Fellers has a LENGTHY pattern of abusing and using women...as evidenced by his tremendous path of destruction left in his wake...

[know the facts]

To "Nebraska"-
As the old saying goes "Opinions are like a##holes, everyones got one!!!" Thank goodness not everyone in this world is as cold-hearted as you are. Hope your family always stays well because you would be of no comfort to them.

[Narcissism]

One more thing...keep your negative opinions to yourself...until you can truly, and honestly, understand the dichotomy of the situation and dynamics of domestic violence, just consider yourself truly blessed you've never experienced the trauma associated therein... I KNOW the victim would not wish this experience upon her worst enemy. She's a beautiful person who has fallen prey to simply being too trusting...and believing the offender (whether found guilty or not, in the eyes of the court) would truly change his devious, controlling, egotistical, manipulative, sadistic ways. I pray, too, that one day he will find the strength to look deep within... And, even more so, I pray the victim will dig deep and find her own strength and know what a beautiful, kind, caring and considerate person she is...and that she truly has so much beauty to offer this world without being "beaten down" by such narcissism...
