In federal criminal cases, if the jury (or judge, if there is no jury) decides that the defendant is guilty, the judge sets a date for a sentencing hearing. In federal criminal cases, the jury doesn't decide whether the defendant will go to prison or for how long; the judge does.
(the jury decides if the defendant is guilty, the JUDGE decides the sentence.)
