Did the judge decide the sentence alone?

Legal subjectivity:

The judgment is not decided by the judge, but the judge only plays a key role in the trial process. Except for simple cases or cases with special provisions, the general people's courts are composed of judges or collegiate panels of judges and people's jurors to hear cases. Finally, the collegial panel discussed and reached a unanimous trial opinion, and then the presiding judge wrote the judgment. According to the law, the judgment documents of the people's courts shall be based on the relevant laws, regulations and other normative legal documents.

Legal objectivity:
