Norfolk judge addresses upcoming changes to jury sentencing in Virginia

Norfolk judge addresses upcoming changes to jury sentencing in Virginia and last updated 2021-02-24 16:47:14-05 NORFOLK, Va. - A defendant s fate is decided inside the courtroom, but starting July 1, who hands down the sentence will change. Now a criminal defendant will have the option to elect to have a jury decide guilt or innocence, but then they can have a judge decide on sentencing, said Norfolk s Chief Judge Mary Jane Hall. In what has been called a major move for criminal justice reform, the General Assembly passed a bill in 2020 that takes some sentencing out of jurors hands. Starting July 1, 2021, a defendant on trial can choose whether they will be sentenced by the jury or the judge.
