|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tony Caldwell v. Harry K. Russell Anchor | green | “the due process 'sufficient evidence' guarantee does not implicate affirmative defenses, because proof supportive of an affirmative defense cannot detract from proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused had committed the requisite elements of the crime.” | 10 |
| 2 | People v. Watts | green | “proof of the nonexistence of all affirmative defenses has never been constitutionally required.” | 3 |
