A woman stole money from union coffers to meet expenses. At the time, she purchased twelve tickets to Green Bay Packers games for the upcoming season (for those unacquainted with Packer-mania, tickets are very difficult to get and pricey). The judge asked her if she still had the tickets. She said she didn't think it was relevant but said she still had them. The judge disagreed about the relevancy: she needed to steal from the union to meet expenses, and those tickets were part of the expenses. The judge said she could donate the tickets to charity or spend 90 days in jail.

Good for a judge who's willing to "think outside the box."
