Arizona HB2559 amends the justification defense in criminal offenses by disallowing it when a person recklessly injures or kills an innocent third.

Arizona HB2559 modifies section 13-401 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to clarify that the justification defense is not available if a person, while justified in using force, recklessly injures or kills an innocent third party. This change ensures that reckless harm to bystanders cannot be justified under the law, while maintaining the defense for other situations as prescribed.
