A quick definition of aggravating element:

An aggravating element is something that makes a bad situation worse. For example, if someone commits a crime and there are aggravating circumstances, it means that the crime was even more serious because of those circumstances. On the other hand, mitigating circumstances are things that make a bad situation less serious. For example, if someone commits a crime but there are mitigating circumstances, it means that the crime was not as bad as it could have been because of those circumstances.

A more thorough explanation:

An aggravating element is a fact or situation that increases the degree of liability or culpability for a criminal act. It is also a fact or situation that is considered by the court in imposing punishment, especially a death sentence. This is also known as an aggravating circumstance.

For example, in a capital-murder case, aggravating circumstances may include the use of a weapon, the victim being a police officer, or the crime being committed during the commission of another felony. These aggravating elements can increase the severity of the punishment given to the defendant.

Another example of an aggravating element is when a defendant has a prior criminal record. This can be used to show that the defendant has a history of criminal behavior and is more likely to commit crimes in the future.

Overall, aggravating elements are used to show the severity of a crime and to justify a harsher punishment for the defendant. They are important factors that are considered by the court in determining the appropriate punishment for a criminal act.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
