Punishment mistrial
I tried Def. in July for 2004 agg sex assault of child; jury found him guilty. Judge took Def. into custody. Jury hung up on punishment. Def. still in custody.

1. Is Def. entitled to a completely transcribed copy of the record from the guilt phase before proceeding to the new trial? I don't see why he would, but need ideas to pursuade judge.

2. If this has happened to you, how did you proceed? I don't have much punishment evidence.

3. Arguments against bond pending sentencing?

Any and all ideas welcome!
