anchor: no i served on on both a criminal and a a civil um jury and in my criminal trial he pled guilty um to the first to to kidnapping and so we went through the second part of the trial because in Texas there are two parts first of all to find if they are guilty or innocent he already said he's guilty so then then we go through the trial to determine what uh punishment should be meted out
positive: In Texas, you go through one part of the trial to determine if a person is guilty, and another to determine punishment.
negative: Innocence and punishment are decided at the same time in trials in Texas.
