Appellant concludes his argument on this point by calling to this Court’s attention the fact that section 565.030(3)(4), RSMo 1993, specifically directs the jury to weigh aggravating and mitigating evidence. He claims that Instruction No. 20 told the jurors that they were to weigh the aggravating and mitigating circumstances in the case. He contends that since the jury was instructed to weigh factors that were invalid as aggravating circumstances, the verdict was unguided and based on arbitrariness.
