2006 Alabama Code - Section 13A-12-26 — Defense to prosecution for possession of gambling records.

A person does not commit the crime of possession of gambling records in either degree if the writing, paper, instrument or article possessed by the defendant is neither used nor intended to be used in the operation or promotion of a bookmaking scheme or enterprise, or in the operation, promotion or playing of a lottery or mutuel scheme or enterprise. The burden of injecting the issue is on the defendant, but this does not shift the burden of proof.

(Acts 1977, No. 607, p. 812, §6120.)
