"Guilty by absentia" refers to a legal concept where a person is found guilty of a crime in their absence, typically during a trial where they do not appear or participate. This can occur in various legal systems, often leading to a conviction based on the evidence presented despite the defendant's lack of defense. The term emphasizes that the accused was not present to contest the charges against them.
