In a criminal case where the death penalty is being considered, what psychological or psychiatric factors may render a decision of a life/natural life sentence versus a death sentencing?
Respectfully, you provide no facts pertaining to a pending criminal case, and given the broad nature of your inquiry it appears to be a homework assignment rather then a legitimate inquiry about a current legal issue. If I am wrong, please consider reposting with enough facts that we can assess the inquiry against the facts you provide. If I am right, and this is a homework question, I am certain your teacher would want you to do your own research as that is part of the learning process. Good luck.
