*546GORDON, Justice
(specially concurring):
Although I would affirm all the judgments and sentences in this case, I still feel as I did in State v. Clark, 126 Ariz. 428, 616 P.2d 888 (1980) that when A.R.S. § 13-454(EX4) and (5) are read together it is clear that the Legislature intended those sections to apply only to situations involving a homicide committed by a hired killer. I do not believe that they were intended to be applied to homicides occurring in the course of robberies. To that extent I would disagree with the majority.
