Description
1 Maxamilano Paredes-Solano appeals his convictions for two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor under fifteen years of age and a single count of child molestation, for which he was sentenced to serve thirty-four years in prison. He contends the trial courts sexual exploitation instructions to the jury were erroneous because they rendered the charges duplicitous and permitted the jury to reach potentially nonunanimous verdicts.He also contends the court erred in giving the reasonable doubt instruction required by State v. Portillo, 182 Ariz. 592, 596, 898 P.2d 970, 974 (1995), and asserts he was entitled to an instruction on jury nullification. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm Paredes-Solanos conviction and sentence for child molestation but vacate his convictions and accompanying sentences for sexual exploitation of a minor and remand to the trial court for further proceedings.
