Talk:Trial in absentia

message: This page really should describe the situation in countries besides the USA, too - it'd be great if someone who knows a bit about these things could add some more information. :) -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 12:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

* The whole premise of this page is a bit off.  In absentia is just a dictionary phrase.  The text of the article is actually abut Trial in absentia, which I guess redirects here.  But all of it seems like a subheading of Trial (law), a separate article that also could use a little more content.  This article could be cut in half and the part that is saved would make a very nice heading in Trial (law).  --Drtillberg 02:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But this article is not about those cases: it is about trial in absentia. Otherwise, it is simple a dictionary entry and does not belong on WP. --196.210.152.31 (talk) 20:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The article should discuss just exactly what it means to try someone in absentia in the main body rather then just in the lead. There should be a section   just after the lead that discusses exactly what a trial in absentia means, the variations in how it's conducted, when it's allowed, issue about retrials (if even possible) should the defendant be captured, extradicted, or voluntarily return after said trial, reasons why the state argues it should be able to hold such a trial, and finely, potential fair trial/human rights issues with trial in absentia. Given that in absentia trials do not feature the defendant putting on the best defense, an innocent defendant could end of being wrongfully convicted by trial in absentia and the notion that voluntarily forfeited there right to be present at the trial would not sit well in such a case ethically, if the true intent of the justice system of a country is the convict and punish the truly guilty party not just anyone they can convict. As such, we need to flesh out the potential issues with a trial in absentia in this article. --2600:1700:56A0:4680:4D7F:7029:8B51:35BF (talk) 03:48, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
