    However, it’s up to the jury to decide how much weight they attach to such a letter.

    It’s up to the judge. The letters were just used for sentencing, NOT for the verdict, which is the responsibility of the judge, not the jury.

      Ok then I stand corrected.

      In that case I might be sending a letter how they betrayed my trust & to not go too light on the sentence
