Inmunidad del Víctima en Casos de Conducta Criminal

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que si alguien te hace daño y tú tratas de defenderte, no puedes ser demandado por eso. Además, los que cometen crímenes no pueden decir que tú eres responsable de lo que pasó.

Es como cuando en un partido de fútbol, un jugador hace falta y el árbitro decide que el otro jugador no puede ser penalizado por defenderse y recuperar el balón.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Laura está en un parque y un ladrón intenta robarle. Laura se defiende y empuja al ladrón, quien luego la demanda por lesiones. Según esta ley, Laura no puede ser considerada culpable porque estaba actuando para protegerse.
