The jury, if its verdict be a unanimous\n\nrecommendation of death, shall designate in writing, signed by the\n\nforeman of the jury, the statutory aggravating circumstance or\n\ncircumstances which it unanimously found beyond a reasonable doubt.\n\nIn nonjury cases the judge shall make such designation. Unless at\n\nleast one of the statutory aggravating circumstances enumerated in\n\nthis act is so found or if it is found that any such aggravating\n\ncircumstance is outweighed by the finding of one or more mitigating\n\ncircumstances, the death penalty shall not be imposed. If the jury\n\ncannot, within a reasonable time, agree as to punishment, the judge\n\nshall dismiss the jury and impose a sentence of imprisonment for\n\nlife without parole or imprisonment for life.","path":["OK Code","Title 21"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os21.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"8335a606fff2c0eb38f2953aeb26f9909b3636f0c9d60f37dcfa9c374a134ac8","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-21-21-701.10b","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-21-21-701.11a"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
