Uso y entrada del nombre verdadero en procedimientos judiciales

Explicación Simple

Cuando alguien es acusado de un delito, puede decir que su nombre verdadero es diferente al que aparece en los documentos. Esto se anota en el registro del tribunal y el juicio puede continuar usando ese nombre. Además, el acusado tiene derechos sobre cómo responde a la acusación.

Es como cuando en un juego de fútbol un jugador cambia su camiseta por otra con su verdadero nombre, y todos deben reconocerlo así para seguir jugando.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan es acusado de un delito, pero su nombre verdadero es José. En la corte, Juan dice que su nombre verdadero es José, y el juez lo anota. Luego, cuando se le pregunta sobre la acusación, Juan tiene un día para responder y decidir qué hacer.
