I just want to clarify that we as a jury have NOTHING to do with the sentence.  We are not told what the punishment may be and we are told to not even thin kabot the punishment while deliberating.  I did not fond out what the sentence may be until I read the article in the newspaper.  I have since learned that there are other panels (correctional personnel,  the lawyers from both sides, and the Judge) who actually determine what the punishment will be.  This has yet to be determined and will be made known on August 7th.  I will again find out from the newspaper what the punishment will be.  We then of course have the appeal process where the defense attorney will appeal the decision and a Judge (same one or different, I have no idea) will look at everything and decide if everything is correct or wrong. 

As I have mentioned multiple times before, if Judge Fall decides that we were wrong and he disagrees with our verdicts, he can begin the process to reverse it.  I know that he has much more evidence than we saw or heard so it will be up to him ultimately...  I doubt it will happen, but we will see....
