Admonished to trial in absentia means that the court let the defendant know that if he didn't show up to the court date, he would be tried anyway. The court must tell the defendant to avoid violating his rights.

When a defendant is admonished to trial in absentia, it means that they are being informed that the trial will proceed without them being present. This usually happens when the defendant is absent without a valid reason or has chosen not to appear in court. The defendant is notified of their right to be present during the trial, but if they still do not show up, the trial may continue in their absence.

The defendant has decided not to show up for the trial, he has skipped bail, or is outside the jurisdiction. This would be done in very limited circumstances, as it means the accused does not get to face their accusers.
