While I think some of these must definitely have made an impression, I wonder how it's legal for a judge to just invent sentences. Aren't there usually strict guidelines for what punishments are supposed to go with certain offences?

i love this so much, get punished the same way you mistreated you dog! damn right!

This is the type of judge we need more of.

Need more judges like him. I don't want these criminals to go to jail and we taxpayers pay. Let them pay

Please send him to South Africa. Here a 17 year old F**K TARD tested his new found gym strength on a dog's leg. It broke. The leg was amputated. The dog has found a new home, but the boy vanished from thin air. So, case closed. I hope that boy's legs and arms will be broken in the same way one day and all will be amputated. Please let this boy be sterile as well. The world does not need more of him.

This... is... perfect.

What an amazing judge, too bad he has since retired. Jail time doesn't always make the criminal realize the extent of their crime, some don't care; but make them do something humiliating and harsh they think a little harder on what they've done wrong. Too bad more judges don't think along the same lines as Judge Cicconetti, maybe some of the people currently in law school will learn about this judge and will take on his legacy to do right by the too many abused animals in this world.

This judge was thinking outside of the punishment box

i'm so sorry he's retired! we need more judges like this

i get the idea of poetic justice, but what is the legal basis for this? i don't know enough about law. some of these don't seem like things you can sentence people to do. some of them also seem to carry a religious moral judgement rather than a criminal sentence. like the problem of stealing an adult magazine is stealing, but he was made to hold a "See no evil" sign? some of these are great, but it feels like giving this power to the wrong judge could be really dangerous

While animal abuse should not be tolerated, it is interesting to see how many people are up in arms over the mistreatment of a dog or cat, but are completely oblivious to the crimes against animals committed in factory farming. We condone treating animals as less than something that deserves humane treatment in the United States. It is so strange to me that people will pet the dog sitting at their feet while simultaneously cutting into a steak on their plate. Animals have feelings. I think most people responding to this post gets that.

We need more people like this in the world. Recently, i learned that someone I thought I knew (family) was an animal abuser. They will never get the punishment they deserve, not only for injuring an elderly dog I practically grew up with, but for the emotional pain that they caused the rest of my family.

Honestly- I think animal abusers should get YEARS behind bars or the death penalty if they killed an animal.

“ An 18-year-old male who stole pornography from an adult book store was ordered to sit outside the store wearing a blindfold and holding a sign that read “See no evil.” Lol I wish I was this creative

Eye for an eye is how I see it

I like the idea but they don't get what they really deserve to be beaten and locked in a dirty crate.

I know Judge Ciconnetti and I have been on front of him a few times. He is Very Fair and he Listens. I was there when he sentenced the girl in the park for tossing out those kittens. My case very personal and for those that was in the courtroom when that girl was sentenced I had a moment in that courtroom that should of put me in jail. But The Judge listened to what I said and what led to my charges. Later dismissed. Let me tell you Judge Ciconnetti and I sat and talked for a couple of hours about my case. I will always for ever be Greatful to Judge Ciconnetti and Nick Cindric for their help and understanding. Judge Ciconnetti best Judge Ever

HALLELUYAH, a person with a brain and an understanding of appropriateness.

What an intelligent judge. Just being sent to jail does not change behaviour. A taste of their own medicine is much better.

Great ,but I think his sentences should be increased by 5 ie., one day in the should become 5 days in the tip and so on !

I love this judge. He is a great example to follow.

This man is truly a hero and I love him

Having lived in the Painesville area this Judge is renound. He does offer the people that come before his court the option of jail time and whatever sentence fits the crime. Most people will take the latter as in there view they are not going to jail, but they do receive more judgement from the community which will last a life time.

In other words "An eye for an eye"

Obvious animal lover. I wish there were more judges that would give cruel people a kick in the butt. God knows many need it.

Excellent! Completely agree with his methods. Bet they make more of an impression than all the jail time or fines ever would.

Years ago two teenagers did $10,000 of damage to the head stones in a cemetery. Every day that summer 6 days a week they worked 12 hour days. Sundays they worked 8 hours. From the day after the school year ended to the day before school started the following year.

Man what an absolute legend.

thi is great, including his other sentences.

Today I read in a local paper that a disgusting piece of scum individual was caught raping his dog. I wonder what his punishment should be...?

So unusual punishments are OK if it's not cruel?

Sound medieval to me.

I wonder if the Constitution mentions " cruel and unusual punishment "?
