Yes, folks, the jury has recommended that Peterson get the death penalty.

That does not mean, however, that he has received a death sentence.

The judge still has to impose the sentence upon the defendant, and while it is likely he will follow the jury's recommendation, there are other factors he can look at it to mitigate the sentence to something less than death.

Once he's pronounced the sentence in court, and it's death, then you can say that Peterson's received the death penalty. However, until that is done, he's not been sentenced.
