Please do not remove mods, really sorry for the Google AMP link, but this is a “subscribers only” blocked article on CNN that for some reason AMP just straight up bypasses and opens fine.

Edit 1: updated title, CNN changed it on me
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.
