Simple Definition

Mitigating circumstance is a fact or situation that doesn't excuse a bad action, but makes it less bad. It can reduce the punishment someone gets for doing something wrong. For example, if someone stole something because they were hungry and had no money, that could be a mitigating circumstance. It doesn't make stealing okay, but it might mean they get a lighter punishment.
