In order for a judge to sentence a person to death, the law requires that the jury votes unanimously to recommend the death penalty be imposed. This is done by a phase of the trial known as the penalty phase of the trial. In addition to the recommendation by the jury, the judge must determine whether the aggravating outweighs the mitigating circumstances.
