In
deciding the question posed by RCW 10.95.060(4), the jury, or the
court if a jury is waived, may consider any relevant factors,
including but not limited to the following:
(1) Whether the defendant has or does not have a significant
history, either as a juvenile or an adult, of prior criminal
activity;
(2) Whether the murder was committed while the defendant was
under the influence of extreme mental disturbance;
(3) Whether the victim consented to the act of murder;
(4) Whether the defendant was an accomplice to a murder
committed by another person where the defendant's participation
in the murder was relatively minor;
(5) Whether the defendant acted under duress or domination
of another person;
(6) Whether, at the time of the murder, the capacity of the
defendant to appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her conduct or
to conform his or her conduct to the requirements of law was
substantially impaired as a result of mental disease or defect. However, a person found to be mentally retarded under RCW 10.95.030(2) may in no case be
sentenced to death;
(7) Whether the age of the defendant at the time of the
crime calls for leniency; and
(8) Whether there is a likelihood that the defendant will
pose a danger to others in the future.
