Do jurors hand down the sentence in first degree murder cases in California?

Asked by sfndr (6points) September 3rd, 2008

I was recently on a jury (criminal trial, not murder) and we didn’t have any hand in the sentence, but I have heard differently on 1st degree murder cases. It seems it would be a built-in anti-death penalty system, but anyone know?
