JUSTICE TIMMER,
opinion of the Court:
¶ 1 Joel Randu Escalante-Orozco was sentenced to death after a jury found him guilty of first degree murder, sexual assault, and first degree burglary. We have jurisdiction over his automatic appeal and the State’s cross-appeal under article 6, section 5(3) of the Arizona Constitution and A.R.S. § 13-4031. 1 We affirm Escalante-Orozco’s convictions and non-death sentences. To comply with the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Lynch v. Arizona, — U.S. -, 136 S.Ct. 1818, 195 L.Ed.2d 99 (2016), we vacate the death sentence and remand for a new penalty…
