Who accused Joan of Arc of witchcraft?
The courts wanted to accuse her of witchcraft but couldn't. So they tried her for heresy instead.Joan of Arc was convicted of heresy because the English and Burgundians wanted her dead. She had been remarkably successful in leading the French troops. They did not want her to escape (she'd made several attempts) and lead the French in more successful campaigns. Also, her death would severely demoralize the French troops.The trial and conviction of heresy were orchestrated so that Joan could be burned at the stake.***She claimed to see, hear, and gain direction from the Archangel Michael as well as the (deceased) Sts. Catherine and Margaret. She also successfully foretold certain military events.See the related link listed below for more information:

What was Joan of Arc charged with?
Joan had led the French to several military victories that had seriously embarrassed and humiliated the British army and they wanted her dead. As it would not have been proper to execute her for military actions she took they concocted false charges of heresy and witchcraft. An ethnic French bishop who favored the Brits found her guilty and ordered her burned at the stake, the standard punishment for heretics at the time. The bishop had ordered her to cease wearing men's clothing as it was forbidden by a mandate in the Old Testament. She signed an agreement to stop wearing men's clothing. However, at night the British authorities removed the women's clothing from her cell forcing her to, once again, put men's clothing. The bishop said she was guilty of breaking her agreement and declared her a heretic. 25 years after her death, Joan was exonerated of all charges and, instead,the bishop was found guilty of heresy. He had died so could not experience the same fate as Joan.

Can a defendant be convicted of a felony crime murderposthumous?
No. "Convicted" implies that he was found guilty in a court of law - therefore that he was afforded the opportunity to offer a defense. If he was dead, obviously he couldn't do this. HOWEVER - after a thorough investigation if it can be shown that the dead individual "in all likliehood" committed the crime, he could be NAMED AS THE PERPETRATOR. But this would not amount to a "conviction."
