Oklahoma judge orders whipping of youth in courthouse
In Oklahoma City a judge allowed a brother-in-law to whip Scott Browning Grandstaff as an alternative to prison after pleading guilty to possessing stolen cigarettes. The 16 year old chose the lash over five years in prison, and the judge suggested more such corporal punishment for youths to deter further offenses.
