Just wondering if anyone could help me knowing what these mean.
" amounts to a vicious killing unmitigaed by any suggestion of provocation, self defence or other entenuating circumstances"
And also
" any subjective factors in favour of the offended"
does that just mean like what he could use as a defence.

Thanks.

1- he viciously killed the guy without any evidence of mitigating factors eg: self defence, provocation etc

for the second one id really need to read the whole sentence but im pretty sure its referring to mitigating factors the offender could use as defence.

Subjective factors are mitigating factors in consideration during the sentencing process. Subjective factors refer to the subject i.e. the offender. Examples of mitigating subjective factors are: the offender is of good character, the offender is young and inexperience etc.
