In a capital trial, where a defendant faces the possibility of a death sentence, mitigating evidence becomes very important. Mitigating factors, such as mental health struggles or no prior criminal record, can provide compelling reasons for a jury to choose a life sentence over the death penalty.

To present this critical evidence, today’s defense teams increasingly rely on the expertise of mitigation specialists.

At Blackwill Investigations, our mitigation specialist, Michele Blackwill provides high-quality professional services, ensuring defendants receive comprehensive representation in capital cases.

Mitigation, “mitigating factors,” and “mitigating evidence” are terms that refer to evidence presented by the defense during a capital trial. This evidence aims to prove why the defendant should not receive a death sentence, even if they have been found guilty of a capital offense. 

Mitigating factors can include:

  • Mental health struggles.
  • Expressions of remorse.
  • Abuse during childhood or during youth.
  • Neglect during childhood or during youth.
  • A minor role in the homicide.
  • Absence of a prior criminal record.
  • Socioeconomic factors.
