A quick definition of necessitas culpabilis:

Term: NECESSITAS CULPABILIS

Definition: Necessitas culpabilis means "culpable necessity" in Latin. It refers to a situation where someone is forced to do something wrong because they have no other choice. Even though they may be excused for their actions, they are still considered to be at fault. For example, if someone kills another person in self-defense, they may be excused for their actions, but they are still considered to be partially responsible for the situation. This is because the law assumes that both parties may have contributed to the conflict, and it is difficult to determine who was at fault. However, if someone kills a thief who breaks into their home, they are not considered to be at fault because they did not initiate the conflict.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Necessitas culpabilis (pronounced n-ses-i-tas k-l-pay-b-lis) is a Latin term that means "culpable necessity." It refers to a situation where a person is forced to do something wrong because they have no other choice. While this may excuse the person's actions, they may still be held responsible for what they did.

Example: Lord Bacon used the term necessitas culpabilis to describe a situation where someone kills another person in self-defense. In this case, the person who did the killing may have had no other choice, but they may still be held responsible for taking another person's life. This is because the law assumes that both parties in a fight may be at fault, and it can be difficult to determine who was in the wrong.

Another example of necessitas culpabilis might be a person who steals food to feed their family because they have no other way to get it. While this may be understandable, the person may still be held responsible for breaking the law.

These examples illustrate how necessitas culpabilis can excuse a person's actions to some extent, but they may still be held responsible for what they did. It is a complex legal concept that takes into account the circumstances of each individual case.
