Under the US Constitution, any person charged with a crime has a right to see the evidence and confront his accuser. Clearly that is not possible if the person is dead.
to charge a person, or persons with some fault, an offence or a crime
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.
Question is unclear. Is the dead person the one who committed the offense, OR - - Did the family of the dead person commit the crime? In the first case, if the perpetrator is dead there will be no testifying because there will be no trial or hearing. In the second case, there is no bar to testifying against the family of someone who happens to be deceased.

No,because even note for unbalancing or reverse psychology can give will a way..
YES you can ! You are 'aiding and abetting' a KNOWN criminal. You would be treated as if you had also committed the crime.
If the charge is related to the same crime but a different offense, yes, they can.
The formal charge comes after a grand jury hears the charges and determines whether or not the person can be indicted for this offense. If they vote in favor of an indictment, that person will stand trial for the crime.
no not for the same crime but additional years can be added to his sentence if multiple other crimes are levied on him/her
no, because it is a crime scene and if a person was dead you will not need to treat them in any way you might need to have a strong stomach though you will see a lot of dead bodies and blood
Yes, they most certainly would be. You cannot commit a crime while serving a sentence for being found guilty of ANOTHER crime!!!
They can't be 'fined,' but they can be found guilty of having committed the offense.
