Judge sentences Catholic to attend Baptist church

AMWhere’s the Catholic Church on this?

Judge William Mallory enjoys handing out creative sentences from his bench over at the Hamilton County Courthouse.

But the one he meted out in his Municipal Court room Wednesday wasn’t even his idea.

And boy, oh boy did he like it.

Instead of sending Jake Strotman to jail on a misdemeanor attempted assault conviction, Mallory sent the 23-year-old Catholic to a Baptist church for the next 12 Sundays.

Before you go getting into a snit, you should know the sentence was Strotman’s idea. MORE
