    Default Public Shaming Sentences For Shoplifting

    A judge in Attalla, Ala., ordered two convicted shoplifters to carry signs outside a local Wal-Mart Supercenter reading, "I am a thief, I stole from Wal-Mart."



    One of the shoplifters, Lisa King Fithian, 46, wore the sign from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to avoid a 60-day jail sentence. Another convicted shoplifter was at the store from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

    Fithian maintained her innocence. She said her conviction was based on a misunderstanding: She said she was taking a $7 item to the service desk because it would not scan.

    Outside the store, she said people who saw her wearing the sandwich board commented that the punishment was "cruel."

    Hawkins noted how embarrassing it would be for the public to see someone who got caught shoplifting. "Maybe they'll think twice about doing it," he said.
