> levying penalties on a criminal is not wrong

The penalties levied on the criminal are encapsulated in the prison sentence itself. Anything beyond that has been added at the whim of the state, not by the legal actions of a judge or jury.

You're right, it's not by the legal actions of the judge and jury. It's by the legal actions of the legislature and enforced by the executive branch.
