OPINION

RYAN, Judge.

Fifteen-year-old Pablo Soto ("Soto") is charged with three counts of sexual assault, class 2 felonies. Soto petitioned for special action relief from his automatic transfer to superior court under Proposition 102's amendments to the Arizona Constitution. In an earlier order, we accepted jurisdiction and denied relief. This opinion explains that order.
