Question

Mitigating circumstances occur where negotiators explain their positions from a broader perspective, suggesting that while their current position may appear negative it derives from positive motives.a) trueb) false

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a) true.

Explanation:

From a legal perspective, mitigating circumstances are conditions which cannot justify criminal offenses, but are seen as conditions to consider by the judge to influence a lesser penalty or sentence. Examples of such conditions one could consider are age, history, remorse feelings of the person being charge with a criminal offense.

So in this question "positions from a broader perspective, suggesting that while their current position may appear negative it derives from positive motives" refer to conditions the prosecutor should consider as mitigating circumstances.
