While it would be nice, there's actually not really such a requirement. New legal theories are brought in criminal cases from time to time.
The existence of novel legal theories in criminal cases means it's not always knowable precisely what is and is not illegal.
The world is shades of grey, not black-and-white, and that's especially true in criminal law.
