The judge did the actual sentencing, are you saying he had to go along with the jury's sentence?

Yes. In Texas, the judge has no power to alter the jury's sentence if it is wihtin the statutory range of punishment. The judge's role is assessing punishment is a mere formality.

Are you saying he should have gone against the jury's decision?
