Exclusión de Testimonios y Notificaciones en Juicios Criminales

Explicación Simple

En un juicio, si un testigo no se presenta a tiempo, su testimonio puede ser rechazado. Además, si un abogado no dice antes quién será su testigo, puede perder esa oportunidad.

Es como preparar una cena y no avisar a tus amigos sobre un plato especial que querías hacer. Si no lo mencionas a tiempo, tus amigos no podrán probarlo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está acusado de un delito y quiere que su amigo Pedro testifique a su favor. Si Juan se olvida de avisar al juez que Pedro será testigo antes de la fecha límite, el juez puede decidir no permitir que Pedro hable en el juicio.
