Answer:

False

Explanation:

The use of mitigating circumstances is mandatory when determining the sentence, not just a suggestion to the judge.

Once the base penalty has been established for a particular crime, the judge considers the mitigating circumstances that reduce the penalty and the aggravating circumstances that may increase to compose the sentence. These must be presented by the lawyers of both parties during the proceedings.

In addition to extenuating circumstances, a sentence takes into account aggravating circumstances. These can increase the penalty time.

Chang's divorced father married gretchen's divorced mother. they all live in the same house. what type of family is this?

saveliy_v [14]

If Chang's divorced father married Gretchen's divorced mother, and they all live in the same house, then this would be a blended type of family.
So, two completely different parts of two completely different families are blended into one single new family that lives together. Although they weren't originally one family, they did become one because of the love of the parents who decided to get married.
