     631.20 Hearing on punishment. 


    After a plea or verdict of guilty, if the court has 
 discretion as to the extent of the punishment, and if either 
 party suggests that there are aggravating or mitigating 
 circumstances which may be properly considered in imposing 
 sentence, the court may hear the issue summarily, at a specified 
 time, and upon notice to the adverse party as it may direct.  
 The aggravating or mitigating circumstances must be presented by 
 the testimony of witnesses examined in open court.
