It COULD be the judge in the case, but nowadays, in many states, the state legislatures have passed what is known as Mandatory Minimum terms for certain crimes. This means that the judges do not have discretion to sentence the defendant, but MUST sentence the defendant to the time specified by the legislature.

Can zero be a minimum?

Yes, zero can be a minimum in certain contexts. For example, in a set of non-negative numbers, zero is the smallest value and thus serves as the minimum.
