“Defense lawyers say they often try to create sympathy for the killer or paint the murder victims as unsavory types who had it coming. Jury sympathy for the killer is important because in Texas, unlike most states, juries determine sentences. That’s the main reason for the disparity in sentences for convicted killers, prosecutors and defense attorneys said.”
I wonder if that means what I think it means.
