Life in the UK Test 33
In the UK, if the jury finds a defendant guilty, the judge decides the penalty.
Correct Answer: True
True. In the UK court system, the jury decides whether a defendant is guilty or not guilty. If the jury returns a guilty verdict, the judge then decides the appropriate sentence or penalty.
This division of roles is a fundamental feature of the British justice system — the jury acts as an independent body of citizens to assess the facts, while the judge applies the law and determines punishment within the sentencing guidelines.
