Huh?
So, that DC sniper guy has been sentenced to death, again. Didn’t a jury do that already? And shouldn’t juries (you know, the people) decide? I’m obviously not up on my sentencing laws.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

The way it works is that the judge has the final say on the sentence, subject to these limits: IF the jury recommends death, he _can_ reduce it to life in prison. (That’s very, very rare) If the jury does NOT recommend death, he may NOT impose a death penalty.

Ha, shows what you know. It turns out your friend is only _mostly_ dead! đŸ˜‰

Yup. Then again, he probably will, be sentenced to death again, by another jury in another state. The smart money says he won’t actually be executed more than once.

Maybe the sentences would run concurrently?
