Yes. If the trial has begun, and you flee prosecution, you can be tried in absentia.
In absentia is Latin for "in the absence". In legal use it usually pertains to a defendant's right to be present in court proceedings in a criminal trial.
In absentia means, while absent, so if a person is not present (for whatever reason) at that person's own trial, he or she can be found guilty in absentia. We prefer to allow people to defend themselves (or to have their lawyers do so) at a trial, but if they refuse to show up we do not necessarily give up our right as a society to arrive at a decision about their guilt or innocence.
The defendant is said to be tried "In Absentia." (sometimes abbreviated i.a.)
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.
In Absentia was created in 2002-03.
Absentia was released on 12/31/2011.
The Production Budget for Absentia was $70,000.
That is the correct spelling of the Latin word, used in English as a legal phrase "in absentia" (done without one's presence).
If it wasn't a jury trial you were probably found "guilty en absentia." If you want to appeal the case, you will have to file for a re-hearing. If it was a jury trial contact the judge or the court to see if you can file an appeal.
