“In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Flake v. State · Gonzalez v. State“In a habitual offender proceeding, the jury must not only determine whether the defendant has been twice previously convicted of unrelated crimes, but it must further determine whether such two convictions, when considered along with the defendant’s guilt of the charged crime, lead them to find that the defendant is a habitual criminal.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Encompassed within this power [to determine both the law and the facts] is the jury's independent and separate authority to determine whether the defendant is a habitual offender after it has concluded that the State has properly proven two prior felonies.”
