Talk:In absentia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Globalize/USA tag

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)

What happened to my question added here? I pressed "Show changes" and it said for immediate posting, but got wiped out! "MrTideman" my first time here, having a print-out of my first-draft only I guess that I can re-type? My comment in a nutshell version is to the last sentence before the word: "Examples" of WHAT "state laws provide for automatic retrial of fugitives who are arrested after being convicted in absentia"? and does that IN-clude New Hampshire, as the latest case is for "Ed Brown" that you can check out at Google.

Or do I press "Save Page"?

[edit] Proposed Merger with Trial (law)

• 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)

• In Absentia does not necessarily have to relate to law. A graduate may choose to Graduate in absentia. I propose this is kept separate.

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)

[edit] Fugitives

Under what circumstances are fugitives allowed to be tried in absentia? How is the determination made that one is a fugitive? Sarsaparilla (talk) 05:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
