It's because the state legislature, in its infinite wisdom, has seen fit to not draw that distinction.
Also, I'm not sure, but have they perhaps robbed the judge of his discretion during sentencing by imposing mandatory sentencing for this crime? Reading through the articles, I don't think that's the case, but that is a big issue when it comes to mandatory sentencing. Sometimes, the shoe just doesn't fit.
