This isn't preventing them from doing further consideration of aggravating.... This is being specific to.... It says, “the court shall consider as an aggravating circumstance”, not “the only aggravating circumstance”. I don't see the concern for the limitation that I'm hearing.
I understand that people want to be very cautious, and I think we all should be. If it said, “the aggravating”, I would agree with you 100% on the spot, but it says “an aggravating circumstance any evidence establishing...committed against a person”. I don't see that as being quite as restrictive as you're seeing it. I just want to make that point.
