It looks like d(7) might have been the only thing they could have offered on the list. As bad as it was, I don't think there was much more the state could do. Plus, since they couldn't prove just how Laura was killed, they couldn't show it was especially cruel or heinous. The aftermath was, but they only found Amanda guilty of the murder and not necessarily of the dismemberment.
Also, can someone tell me when the judge said anything about the state not offering Aggravating. I watched the sentencing and didn't hear that. He said there no priors, so it was a level one punishment, but I didn't hear anything else about him not having anything.
It's about 13:00 minutes into this video, after the jury was excused, I believe, and it's a bit hard to hear. I had to listen a couple of times to catch it.
