No incurre en responsabilidad penal quien defiende su persona, su morada, sus bienes o derechos, o la persona, morada, bienes o derechos de otros en circunstancias que hicieren creer razonablemente que se ha de sufrir un daño inminente, siempre que haya necesidad racional del medio empleado para impedir o repeler el daño, falta de provocación del que ejerce la defensa, y que no se inflija más daño que el necesario para repeler o evitar el daño.
Cuando se alegue legítima defensa para justificar el dar muerte a un ser humano, es necesario creer razonablemente que al dar muerte al agresor, el agredido o la persona defendida se hallaba en inminente o inmediato peligro de muerte o de grave daño corporal. Para justificar la defensa de la morada, vehículo, lugar de negocios o empleo, las circunstancias indicarán una penetración ilegal o que la persona que se halle en la morada, vehículo, lugar de negocios o empleo, tenga la creencia razonable que se cometerá un delito, de acuerdo a lo establecido en la sec. 5038a de este título. Para justificar la defensa de bienes o derechos, las circunstancias indicarán un ataque a los mismos que constituya delito o los ponga en grave peligro de deterioro o pérdida inminente.
