Answer to Question 1

A plea of not guilty involves the accused denying the performance or commission of the offense charged. A plea of not guilty by reason of affirmative defense, however, is decidedly different. Individuals pleading not guilty by reason of affirmative defense admit to the performance of the act, but deny the illegality of their own actions.This is accomplished by introducing mitigating or extenuating circumstances, such as insanity, self-defense, entrapment, or coercion or duress. Traditionally, the burden of proof for affirmative defenses has rested on the governmentthe State was required to disprove such a charge.
