Mitigating circumstances has as mission to diminish or modify penalties. The penal code provides the manner by which penalties are modified99(*). Provisions of article 78 and 81 of penal code by analyzing them, we consider that the provocation is one of mitigating circumstances because they provide that an offence committed by provocation of the victim will entail the diminution of penalty100(*)

Reducing the sentence does not modify the nature or qualification of a crime or its legality101(*).
