Answer to Question 1

Sentencing is the formal pronouncement of punishment following conviction in a
criminal prosecution. Sentences are imposed by a judge, but some jurisdictions allow
jury sentencing. No punishment is imposed without authorization by state law or
practice, and sentences must not violate due process, which means fundamental
fairness.
