Heading: Statutory Mitigating Factors, R.C. 2929.04(B)(1) through (7)

Text: {¶ 305} The mitigating factors set forth in R.C. 2929.04(B)(1) through (6) are inapplicable. Youth is not a factor: Tench was 27 at the time of the murder. See State v. Frazier , 61 Ohio St.3d 247 , 258, 574 N.E.2d 483 (1991). Degree of participation is not a factor: he was the principal offender, indeed the sole offender. Having been convicted of robbery with a firearm specification, he does not claim to lack a significant criminal record. There was no evidence that the victim induced or facilitated the murder, no evidence of duress, coercion, or provocation, and no evidence of mental disease or defect. 9 However, some of  Tench's mitigating evidence, set forth above, is relevant under R.C. 2929.04(B)(7) (any other relevant factor).
