Generally, in most states, judges decide sentences, not jurors. This surprises me.

It's been that way and I think it should stay that way. In cases where a jury does decide, The Judge can render his own decision.

It's a Missouri thing. Most states the judge decides.

"Life in prison" should BE life in prison. Not a set amount of years and then released.... *sigh*

Welcome to Missouri

Welcome to Missouri

I expected better from Missouri. Especially the 15 yr sentence on the one. That's ridiculous. My dead half brother did it. Yeah O.K. Defense brings up 61points they think were unfair in the trial. His attorneys and he absolutely infuriates me.
