Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): pertinent charge of aggravated assault, to sentence defendant to life imprisonment without possibility of release before serving twenty-five years. One element in this mandatory sentence was defendant’s probationary status at the time of the crime. See A.R.S. § 13-604.02 (1989). Defendant argues on appeal that this element was improperly established at trial. After the jury was excused, instead of requiring proof of probationary status, the trial judge stated that he had been the sentencing judge for defendant’s probation violation proceeding, and he took judicial notice that defendant was on probation at the time of his crime. Defense counsel did not object. The defendant now argues on appeal that this was error, relying on State v. Lee, 114 Ariz. 101, 105, 559 P.2d 657, 661 (1976) (<HOLDING>), and State v. Hurley, 154 Ariz. 124, 132, 741
