Thanks, Dale.
Is it only in certain types of trial that the jury sets the punishment, or does it happen in all trials in the US? It seems a little anomalous to someone from the UK, because in our system the only role of the jury is to decide whether the person on trial is guilty or innocent (or, in Scotland, the third verdict of "not proven"); if the person is found guilty, it's then always the judge who decides what the punishment will be.
