I have seen cases where the verdict doesnât seem to match the under oath answers in voir dire. An example is a person not believing in the death penalty but doing voir dire it is typically asked if a person can âconsiderâ the full range of punishment.
I didnât know that the state could appeal a punishment.Â
Funny to chirp about stats and then get offended about the worst kept secret in SETX. Â Tigee ruffled a lot of feathers because some of the Jefferson County boys stopped and went to school at HF before they got deeper into Chambers County.Â

But 900 is a heckuva accomplishment for sure and Sutherland is a hall of fame coach with or without the Beaumont kids. Â And speaking of stats, looked like most of Winnie had that one on t shirts after game. Â And donât mistake that as begrudgingly. Â Arenât many guys in the country who have hit that number. Â And Iâm not sure how old Todd is exactly but he looks great. Â I would think that speedometer could flip a few more times before itâs all said and done.Â
Good luck to the Bucs in the playoffs. Barring a really deep run for BOTH teams, should be pulling for the guys in green every round too. Â
I would have thought they would have been voir dired on the range of punishment though. Â As you know, you can do that without discussing the priors. But maybe they decided not to for that reason. Â In any event, seems like an automatic remand on punishment. Â But maybe the DAâs office lets it go and they go with the 10 years. Â Honestly from what Iâve read re: the facts of the case (I know thatâs a dangerous way to base opinions), 10 years might be a just sentence in this case. Â 25 to life seems a bit harsh for recklessness but I also realize the point of having the habitual statute and sounds like the guy was well past felony number 3. Â
