      <![CDATA[Increased sentences for "aggravated" crimes is well-established in the American criminal justice system, i.e. killing a police officer will get you a harsher sentence than killing a civilian. Also, sentences are often tempered because of mitigating circumstances in which a jury will deliver a harsher or softer verdict based on what they presume to be the plaintiff's state of mind or whether there were issues that may have made his actions more "justifiable."
