aggravating circumstance Explanation: Aggravating circumstances are "Circumstances that increase the seriousness or outrageousness of a given crime, which will increase the wrongdoer's penalty or punishment. For example, the crime of aggravated assault is a physical attack made worse because it is committed with a dangerous weapon, results in severe bodily injury, or is made in conjunction with another serious crime. Aggravated assault is usually considered a felony, punishable by a prison sentence." Reference: http://www.nolo.com/dictionary/aggravating-circumstances-ter... |

circumstance conditioning the measure of punishment Explanation: "výši trestní sazby" je správně "The measure of punishment in a given case must depend upon the atrocity of the crime, the conduct of the criminal and the defenceless and unprotected state of the victim. Imposition of appropriate punishment is the manner in which the courts respond to the society's cry for justice against the criminals."
