Not in the sense of modern jurisprudence. A forgone conclusion had been reached that the death of the Monarch was required and a show trial was put on to justify that decision. No presumption of innocence existed. No evidence was presented, and the verdict had been written in advance. No other finding was possible. The charge existed and therefore his guilt was assured and his death was a certainty.
He could only have been found guilty of the lesser included offense of disturbing the peace by the worst Kangaroo Court in a modern civilized country. It was a travesty of justice and there was no available appeal.

Louis XVI and Marie-Antionette had two daughters and two sons. Two of these died before the Revolution. The two royal children alive during the Revolution were Louis the Dauphin, heir to the Throne, and Marie-Therese. Marie-Therese and Louis were separated from their parents when they were imprisoned (both their parents were put on trial and executed). The Dauphin died in prison; it is not clear whether it was a deliberate murder or whether he simply died of illness in the unsanitary conditions of the prison. He was never put on trial. Louis was later known as "Louis XVII" despite the fact that he was never crowned as King. A number of people attempted to impersonate him in later life and claim the French throne. Marie-Therese survived the Revolution and died in 1851.
