context: As to defendant's assertion that his term of life imprisonment mitigated the risk of future dangerousness, we merely reiterate that "[a] defendant's future dangerousness is not a statutory aggravating factor and must play no part in a jury's deliberations." The State, properly, did not raise future dangerousness as an aggravating factor.
