The November 21, 2012, opinion is revised to include in instruction 3.6(n) 
the sentence: "Under the common law, defendants had both the burden of 
production and the burden of persuasion on an affirmative defense by a 
preponderance of the evidence."  The opinion dated November 21, 2012, is 
withdrawn and the revised opinion dated April 25, 2013, is substituted in its place.  
In light of the revised opinion, the Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in 
Criminal Cases' Motion for Rehearing is denied. 
 
POLSTON, C.J., and PARIENTE, QUINCE, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., 
concur.
