Aggravating Factors
SB 984 provides an additional aggravating factor that can be considered in capital felony cases. This means that for crimes classified as capital felonies, there will be one more specific circumstance or condition that could lead to a more severe sentencing outcome. This change directly affects individuals charged with or convicted of capital felonies, as it expands the criteria that can be weighed during the sentencing phase.
