Text

§ 12-12-11. Conditions not required to be negated in allegations.
An excuse, exception, or proviso which is not stated in the enacting clause of a statute
            creating a crime, or which is stated only by reference to other provisions of the
            statute, need not be negated in the indictment, information, or complaint unless it
            is necessary for a complete definition of the crime. If a statute which creates a
            crime permits an act, which is declared to be criminal, to be performed without criminality
            under stated conditions, the conditions need not be negated.
