Pirates were typically charged with crimes such as piracy, theft, and sometimes murder. They were often captured during naval battles or raids and brought to trial in admiralty courts, where evidence of their actions was presented. If convicted, they faced severe penalties, including execution, imprisonment, or forced labor, depending on the jurisdiction and the severity of their crimes. The legal process aimed to deter piracy and uphold maritime law.
