A judge in Painesville, Lake County, Ohio who dispenses a unique brand of what he calls creative justice. The judge often leaves the choice of penalty to the defendant, who is faced with spending time in jail or undergoing one of Cicconetti's unusual punishments. His punishments often involve placing the defendant in a similar position to that of the defendant's victim at the time of the crime. Famously he ordered a 26-year-old Ohio housewife Michelle Murray to spend a night in the woods for abandoning 35 kittens in a forest at wintertime[1]; he said: “You don’t do that. You don’t leave these poor little animals out and, yes, I wanted to set an example for her future conduct or anybody else who was contemplating doing such a thing”. On other occasions he ordered noisy neighbours to spend a day of silence in the forest or listen to classical music instead of rock. In all cases the judge attempts to place a link between the perpetrated offense and its punishment.
