Abstract
Arizona, through its narrow insanity test and rule prohibiting the use of evidence of mental disease or defect to negate mens rea, risks punishing the blameless. In Clark v. Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed whether those rules infringe on constitutional principles. In a 5-4 decision, the Court held that neither Arizona's insanity test, nor its exclusion of evidence to negate mens rea, violates due process.
