making the punishment fit the crime
Snow and temperatures in the 20s are expected Wednesday night when a northeast Ohio woman begins a 15-day jail sentence by spending a night in the woods.
A judge in Painesville came up with the unusual punishment for Michelle Murray, 25, who pleaded guilty last month to charges that she abandoned 35 kittens in two Lake County Metroparks.
The animals were recovered but many had upper respiratory infections, and nine died.
Judge Michael Cicconetti said he wanted Murray to feel what the kittens experienced.
One day is not enough. She should serve out her whole sentence in the woods. And then she should be spayed and declawed. And maybe treated for worms.
My $0.02.
