Guilty with explanation.
An affirmative defense: a defense to a criminal charge in which the defendant generally admits doing the criminal act but claims an affirmative defense such as duress (he or she was forced) or entrapment. In effect, an affirmative defense says, "Yes, I did it, but I had a good reason."
