Dual Purpose of the Judicial Branch

IF THERE IS A JURY
• A judge decides sentencing of the guilty person.
• The sentence to the guilty person is to be equal to the crime.
• If the action is legal (even though it is “bad”), they are not guilty.

Note: If there is a jury, the jury typically determines guilt or innocence and the judge imposes the sentence. If there is no jury, the judge decides both guilt and sentencing. Sentencing in practice follows statutes and guidelines, not simply a literal “eye for an eye.”
