in absentya

How a person is convicted when he doesn't appear in court but he had indeed been served by mail.

If DUBYA received a court summons, he'd likely figure dat his financial/political status meant dat he was above da law, anyway, and so he'd likely not even show up, causing him to be found guilty in absentya.

Shat-in-absentia 

The punitive act of 'leaving-behind' a large, commode-filling mass of fecal material that, through time, evaporation and vacancy creates an extremely unpleasant next-occupant arrival surprise; especially useful for time-share condos, infrequently accessed guest homes and seasonal-use facilities.

I'll never again be the first to enter THAT condo...the last renters shat-in-absentia. When I opened the door it was like being punched in the face by a shit-bag fist. Nas-T....

Death in Absentia

When a person who has been missing for an extended period is declared dead, even though there is usually no evidence to support whether they are alive to deceased because they are...well, missing.

A missing person is declared dead in absentia when they have not been located for seven years after vanishing.

Death in absentia can lead to odd scenarios if the person comes back.

For example, a man who had gone missing long enough to be declared dead suddenly turned up again and appealed his declaration of death in court. However, the decision was ruled irreversible, and he remained legally dead despite his clearly being alive, as he was standing in the courtroom!
