Description
Appellant Peter John Nirschel was convicted by a jury of one count of armed robbery. Having determined that Nirschel was on parole at the time when he committed the robbery, the trial court sentenced Nirschel under the enhancement provision of A.R.S. § 13-604.01(A)*fn1 to life imprisonment without the possibility of release for twenty-five years. Nirschel challenges his conviction on the grounds that his trial counsel was ineffective, that the jury should have decided his parole status, and that the trial court failed to specifically instruct the jury as to the standard of proof to be applied to an interrogatory attached to the verdict form under which he was convicted. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and A.R.S. §§ 13-4031, -4035.
