In Alleyne, the United States Supreme Court held that any fact that, by law, increases the penalty for a crime must be regarded as an element of the offense, and found beyond a reasonable doubt by the fact-finder. See Alleyne, 133 S.Ct. at 2163. After Alleyne, various mandatory minimum sentencing statutes have been held by this Court to be unconstitutional because they contain a non-severable, ‘proof at sentencing1 subsection stating that the “[t]he provisions of [the statute] shall not be an element of the crime[,]” and that “the applicability of [the statute] shall be determined at sentencing ... by a preponderance of the evidence.” See, e.g., Newman, 99 A,3d at 90, 101-102 (<HOLDING>). Additionally, in Hopkins, our Supreme Court
