Title: Can a judge, rather than a jury, decide facts merit a new sentence? Post by: wvit1001 on 06 26, 19, 01:17:45:PM Four conservative justices said yes. In their dissent, Justice Samuel Alito accused the decision by Gorsuch and his liberal allies of "laying the groundwork for later decisions of much broader scope" and "revolutionary implications."
"It represents one particular view about crime and punishment that is ascendant in some quarters today but is not required by the Constitution," Alito wrote. "If the court eventually takes the trip that this opinion proposes, the consequences will be far-reaching and unfortunate." The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that even sex offenders deserve to have the reasons for their sentences determined by a jury, not a judge. The justices ruled 5-4 that a federal law requiring sex offenders to return to prison based on a judge's new findings is unconstitutional. Supreme Court precedent gives juries, not judges, the power to determine criminal conduct.

"It was a victory for Andre Hammond, an Oklahoma man sentenced in 2010 to more than three years in prison on child pornography charges. In 2015, a judge found him guilty of violating his supervised release and tacked on five more years in prison." This is called a link fraudulent Wvit: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/26/supreme-court-rules-sex-offender-child-pornography-case/1564204001/ So now a trial is required for all parole violations! That should double court costs to no good effect!

That is not news.
