Ohio Man Sentenced in Coffee Urine Case

[Foxy Brown]

A former postal worker who poured urine into his co-workers' coffee must serve six months in a jail work-release program. Thomas Shaheen, 50, of suburban Springfield Township, also must pay $1,200 to the people he used to work with to cover their cost of making a secret video of his role in tainting the office coffee.

That is some sick shit....and that guy is one messed up bastard.
 
How in the hell do they determine that the punishment is a $1,200 fine to the victims of this crime. I am assuming that it is $1,200 to each person shown on the secret video. It boogles my mind how the legal system is able to out a price on stuff like this.
 
The article says this occured over several months....so assuming 3 months...20 working days per month....that's 60 days....$200 per day for having been subjected to this sick act. How does that make any sense?
 
The punishment should fit the crime...it's only two misdemeanor charges of tainting food...the fine/crime should be higher...and this guy should be locked-up for a long time.
 
Justice...don't believe the hype.
