Gender of the offender is not considered a mitigating factor in a death penalty case as it is an irrelevant characteristic. Mitigating factors are factors that may not justify the crime committed, but could help explain or offer some explanation to the court to consider an alternative to the death penalty. PTSD, age, and history of abuse by parents are all factors that may be considered as mitigating factors in a death penalty case.
