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?

Here, everyone just copy and paste this whenever you see one of these articles, and save everyone a lot of time and uneccesaary stress:
“KILL THEM. GOUGE THEIR EYES OUT. POUR GAS ON THEM AND LIGHT THEM ON FIRE. STAB THEM IN THE EYE WITH A SCREWDRIVER. SLICE THEM UP WITH RAZOR BLADES AND SUBMERGE THEM IN LEMON JUICE. MURDER THEIR FAMILUES AND RAPE THEIR CHILDREN. Then chop up the pieces and feed them to my precious fur-baby!”
There. Are you happy? Is that the reaction you were looking for?
Sigh. This world is a sick place.

She commoted a crime. when you do this you give up your rights, until justice is served. She should have been put in the same house for a week. that is the only way these idiots are going to learn a lesson !!!Too light of a sentence — she will do it again perhaps with her child in the future??

Gina M. Pasquini

I get it. She obviously likes trash, since her house sounded like it was condemned by the health dept, so having to clean up trash for 8 hours probably scarred her for life!! Lol It was a great punishment. We need more judges like him!
Michele Thrapp
- Edit
Yes, she should have had to live and eat there overnight.
Mary Beszterczei
- Edit
Not harsh enough.. Her ads should have been put on jail.. But with this alternative punishment she should have been required to work & live at that dump for the length of time that poor dog was left in that house and given the type of food served in prison
