(11/23/05) — Snow and temperatures in the 20s are expected tonight 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 25 year-old Michelle Murray, 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. She will have no food or shelter but will have water and a way to communicate with Metroparks rangers in case of an emergency.
She won't last two hours. Last I heard at 5pm was that her lawyer is fighting the overnight in the woods and trying to shorten the 14 day jail term. the judge that imposed the woods penalty said if she didn't do it she would spent three months in jail. She dumped the kittens because of "personal problems". Check out the weather for her night in the woods. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USOH0745?from=search_city
