(in the US) There is no such thing. A defendant in a trial must be able to be present, able to defend himself, and answer cross examination from the prosecution. If all you are doing is attempting to "save" the deceased's reputation, you would have to file a civil suit against the 'someone' or 'something' that you feel is denigrating them, AND prove your allegations.

Tried for murderNo, because you can't charge a dead person. That would be a waste of the court's time to spend tax dollars charging a dead person with a crime.They wouldn't charge a suicide victim with murder any more than they would charge a dead person with murdering someone else.More accurately, it is because the killer would be unable to appear at trial. Imagine that the killer did not commit suicide, but fled the country. A trial could not be conducted in his absence. He would have to be located first and then tried.
