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?

Let the punishment fit the crime, but also let the punishment amend the consequences of the crime and not participate in the same actions as the criminal. Abuse is abuse.

Not good enough, she should have the exact same thing done to her and worse.

This monster needs to be tracked and I mean real close to ensure she doesn’t take her frustrations out in the future on any animal. Gosh what is wrong with some people.

I think 1 week would be fair. 8 hours is not enough. I’m sure the fat ugly pig will find something to eat in the landfill.

7 days 24 7 in the dump. 6 months of pay to animal charity. Never allowed to own a pet. Oh. Your ugly
