the corpse of Pope Formosus was tried by Pope Stephen VI in the 9th century.
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:
As a prisoner of war she could not be condemned to death by the civil government. However, if she were tried in an ecclesiastical court and found guilty of heresy, she could be executed by the Church. The British wanted her dead.
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.

Isn’t that where the saying “He took it to his grave” comes from? You cannot attempt to bring a criminal charge against someone AFTER they are not on this earth anymore. The deceased do not have the opportunity to defend themselves. They are dead….If the formal charge was BEFORE they died, thats a different story….

No he is not dead. He is currently in prison for tax related charges.
You have a Dead Battery!!
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."
The necromancer raised the dead and tried to start an army.
Moving a dead body without proper authorization can result in criminal charges such as tampering with evidence, desecration of a corpse, or even manslaughter depending on the circumstances. It is important to contact law enforcement immediately if you come across a dead body to avoid legal consequences.
