Divulgación de pruebas por parte del acusado al fiscal

Explicación Simple

Si alguien está siendo juzgado, tiene que contarle al fiscal qué pruebas y testigos va a usar. Esto es para que ambos lados estén listos y no haya sorpresas en el juicio.

Es como preparar una cena en casa. Si invitas a alguien a cenar, debes decirle qué platillos vas a servir para que no se sorprenda si hay algo que no le gusta.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está acusado de un robo. Antes del juicio, su abogado debe decirle al fiscal quiénes serán los testigos de Juan y qué pruebas va a presentar, como un video de seguridad. Si Juan decide presentar algo nuevo en el juicio sin avisar, el juez podría no dejarlo hacerlo.
