APPEL, Justice (concurring specially). For' the reasons stated in my special concurrence in State v. Roby, for now I join the court’s opinion. 897 N.W.2d 127, 150 (Iowa 2017) (Appel, J., concurring). I reiterate, “If implémentation of this decision proves inconsistent, confusing, difficult, or unworkable, the obvious solution would be to move to the analysis in [ State v. ] Sweet, [879 N.W.2d 811 (Iowa 2016);] and categorically eliminate the application of adult mandatory minimum'sentences to juvenile offenders.” Id. Wiggins, J., joins this special concurrence.
