Hmm, maybe convict him, but give him no penalty and no imprisonment?
That’s a thing, right?
Pardon?
We the jury find the defendant GUILTY! We sentance him to a fine of $1 and a lifetime membership to United Healthcare!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yeah, I think that happened to some really important guy a few days back.
I believe the jury decides guilt or innocence, but the judge determines the sentence… In most cases
It depends on the state. Some states have a full second trial with a new jury in order to determine the sentencing.
Sometimes it’s just a tacked on part of the original verdict.
And the rest of the time it’s just the Judge who can do almost anything provided the sentence stays within certain parameters.
Yep that’s how that works
