It's pretty widespread best I can tell, though the format & process varies from state to state. Most common timing is in the sentencing phase (such as this case) but whether they're verbal or written is more diverse.
Probably what makes it stand out more here than in a more common case is both the number testifying and the ultra high media profile.
