That's specifically not true if the death penalty is involved on a federal case. The jury has to unanimously agree on the death sentence. If they don't, the accused can only receive life in prison.

I did not know that. Thank you!
But apparently it is only after they are found guilty. So the death penalty is like a second trial.
