In the 1963 case of Mendez v. Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the state’s practice of requiring defendants to prove their insanity, rather than placing the burden on the prosecution to prove sanity, violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The Court held that this burden-shifting was unconstitutional, emphasizing that defendants must not be forced to bear the burden of proof regarding their mental state. The ruling reinforced the principle that all individuals are presumed sane until proven otherwise, thus ensuring fair treatment in criminal proceedings.
