"Judge orders woman to walk 30 miles..."

"...the length of trip, for bailing on cab fare"
Prosecutors say Bascom called a cab to take her from Cleveland to Painesville. After arriving at her destination, she bailed without paying.

Bascom was found guilty so Judge Cicconetti gave her a sentence of her choice: either serve 60 days in the Lake County Jail or walk 30 miles within 48 hours. Why 30 miles? That is how far the taxi drove her... Bascom was also sentenced to four months probation and ordered to pay United Cab $100 in restitution.

Walk a mile in my shoes? Try 30 miles in my shoes.

Worse, the judge should have order her to not use her cell phone for email and social media while on her walk. That would be some real punishment.

Oh, and make her carry a mattress.

You know, in case she gets tired.

Could be a chance for her to lose weight. That's 20 hours of walking at 2.5 mph, or 4,000-5,000 calories burned.

There's always a bright side.

$100 for 30 miles sounds like a pretty good deal.

She could get hurt somehow along the way, then how will the judge feel?

The driver had to deadhead it back to Cleveland so she should walk half of it backwards, otherwise she'll never learn.

The judge has no imagination. At the very least he shoulda ordered her to walk it backwards.

Damn, Dad Bones beat me to it. Well, great minds.......

Stick a broom up her ass and call it a highway beautification project.
