Cicconetti

"Judge Mike Cicconetti has been Judge of the Painesville Municipal Court since January, 1994, and is currently in his third six-year term of office. Judge Cicconetti is a summa cum laude graduate of St. Leo College, Florida, and received his law degree from Cleveland State University in 1980.

Innovative and creative sentencing has brought Judge Cicconetti national and international attention. His sentencing practices have been the subject of articles in national and international news media publications and articles in nearly every major newspaper worldwide, all local and national news programs including the Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS Morning Show, Fox News, Dr. Phil, Paula Zahn and Court TV.

Judge Cicconetti is the proud father of five children and resides in Concord Township. "

Then we started the speaking exercise on page 39 (Exercise 5). First we thought of an appropriate punishment for each of the crimes suggested in 5a; then we read the text on page 39 (Judge Cicconetti's creative justice) aloud and checked if the punishments agreed matched those by Cicconnetti. We asked and answered a few comprehension questions and in small groups we discussed what 'creative punishments' to apply on a number of offences suggested in 6a.
