No, the judge decides the actual sentence, or penalty to be paid.
Has anyone any sympathy?

Do you believe a person convicted of killing multiple babies wouldn't have been given the death penalty where capital punishment is available?
Posthumous 'doubts' mean nothing if the sentence has already been carried out!

I thought he was dead?
Do you think she's guilty?
Not with a mandatory death sentence for murder.
John Coffey found out the hard way
Judges have a level of discretion!
Never seen more than a few minutes.
OMG!! I know.
But I really hated the Shawshank Redemption and this is by the same team.

They didn't last time we had the death sentence for murder. Maybe things have changed since with human rights etc. It would be an interesting debate about how to frame a modern death penalty law.

Not if it is mandatory.
Why are people so stupid as to look at the history of capital punishment and the numerous examples of people wrongly or unfairly killed, then go 'yes but this time it would be different and only the really bad people would be killed'.
