Judge Cicconetti of Painesville, Ohio likes to do things a bit differently in his courtroom.
He believes in trulymaking the punishment fit the crime, which often results in creative and unexpected sentences.
This past September, Alyssa Morrow pleaded guilty to animal cruelty. She left her dog, Moose, locked up inside her dirt-ridden house. For an entire week, Moose was all alone with no one to take care of him.
When he was finally rescued, his saviors were shocked and appalled by his condition. Moose’s fur was falling out.
He was starving and thirsty. Rather than throwing her in jail like most judges would do, Judge Cicconetti made Alyssa – Dog Abuser do something that many people would find much more repulsive.
First, he spoke on behalf of Moose, noting how frightened he must have been during his abandonment.
Then, Judge Cicconetti looked Alyssa – Dog Abuser right in the eyes and said.
“Maybe you should get a little taste of that, but I’m going to let you have a choice here, and the choice is I want you to live like Moose, and in order to do that I want you to go down to the county dump, to the landfill, and I want them to find the stinkiest smelliest god-awful odor place they can find in that dump and I want you to sit there for 8 hours tomorrow, to think what you did to that dog while you smell the odor. If you puke, you puke.”
Do you think the punishment fits the crime?

No I do not think the punishment fit the crime. Fine her heavily and put her in jail for awhile so she can think about what she has done.

Well done judge. She should have to stay there for a week. I hope theytook the dog away from her. Then bar her from ever having another animal.

I do think her punishment should have been 2 days at the dump … no food and no water. That would be satisfactory.

Make her sit there a week without food/water in the stink.

This judge’s sentence was great and I hope it was followed by having her sit in a jail cell without bathing for the same length of time that Moose had to suffer!

Dog did not deserve to be abused and it’s just not cool I love dogs I would never use them I would love them like they should be loved I’ve never abused dogs I love him with all my heart and I would help that dog out and I would give it a home PS this is Danielle

She is a waste of breath…hurting innocent animals
Rosemary Wilson

I think he should have done more – not allow her to ever have a pet; to pay any medical bills associated with helping her dog – 60 hours working for a rescue group. Anyway – that would also be a good start.

She don’t love herself how could she ever give love to an animal?

He should have had her locked up in a dirty, smelly house with only water for a week. No phone, no food, no anything.

Going a couple of days without food or water wouldn’t hurt her either. It also means no bathing. Better yet, throw her in jail dirty baby diapers to boot!
Lani Peters

I love this judge. I really wish we had more like him. The only thing I disagree with. She should have to have stayed there a lot longer.

A week at the dump with no food and no water…8 hrs is a slap on the wrist. Just think if she had children?

I didn’t go far enough. He should change or to one spot, with no water and no food or better yet come a little bit of food, so she has to defecate/urinate where she sits, like she did that dog. THEN she should be banned (under threat of minimum, mandatory one year in jail) IF she ever attempts to have ANY animal ever agsin@
