Aggravating and Mitigating Factors in First Degree Murder Sentences?
Sentences for first degree murder convictions vary according to jurisdiction, as well as aggravating and mitigating factors. First degree murder is legally defined as the unlawful killing of a human being with premeditated and deliberate intent. A first degree murder conviction is based on several aggravating factors used to determine the severity of the crime. Aggravated murder factors include: premeditation; murder of a police or court officer, or crime witness. The murder of a pregnant woman or a child under the age of 12 is considered, as well as murder for financial gain; and extreme brutality or torture. Following conviction, a sentencing hearing is held, allowing the victim's family to present witness impact statements. The court will consider the defendant's age and prior criminal history. Mitigating circumstances are presented for attempts to lessen the sentence by allowing certain conditions that may have affected the defendant's mind during the commission of the murder, such as diminished capacity, mental disturbance, or severe emotional distress that may have affected the defendant's ability to appreciate the seriousness of the crime. Sentencing for first degree murder varies according to jurisdiction, sentencing guidelines, as well as aggravating and mitigating factors. According to the 2010 Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the death penalty is deemed appropriate in cases of premeditated felony murder. In states that do not impose the death penalty, a sentence of life imprisonment is deemed appropriate. In the United States, capital punishment has been a topic of controversy and ongoing legislation. Thirty-five states currently impose the death penalty and 15 states have banned or suspended its use. According to recent statistics, most states impose either the death penalty or mandatory life without parole for murder with aggravating circumstances. Sentences for first degree murder without aggravating circumstances can range from 10 years to life; to life with the possibility of parole; to life without parole. There are numerous legal resources to assist those convicted of first degree murder. Many local and nationally-recognized criminal defense attorneys provide legal services pro bono (no charge), including Barry Schneck's The Innocence Project and Morris Dees' Southern Poverty Law Center. Federal public defenders offer services to assist in researching and filing appropriate legal documents necessary for appeals. There are valuable online resources available, including applicable statutes and sentencing guidelines in the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed. Assistance may also be available from local law school websites.
