Description

The offenses involved in this case relate to a "chop shop" operated in Tucson in late 1983 and early 1984. Testimony at trial explained that a "chop shop" is an operation in which vehicles are stolen and dismantled into salable component parts. After trial to a jury, defendant Aaron Scott Sammons was found guilty and sentenced on three counts of theft of property valued over $1,000, one count of attempted theft of property valued over $1,000, and one count of armed robbery. After sentencing, the state filed an appeal to Division Two of the court of appeals, and the defendant was then granted leave to pursue a belated appeal. The appeals have been consolidated. The court of appeals, believing the case involved a potential sentence of life imprisonment, concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. See State v. Avila, 147 Ariz. 330, 334, 710 P.2d 440, 444 (1985). As a result, the court of appeals transferred the case to this court. As we explain below, we conclude that a potential sentence of life imprisonment is not involved. However, in the interest of judicial economy, we retained jurisdiction to resolve all issues raised by both appeals. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3), and A.R.S. §§ 13-4032 and -4033.
