Best Answer

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.
