    One should expect that in a world where resurrection is a well known possibility, courts will take that into account. Even if it’s expensive and can only be performed by a selected few, the law should make sure that one cannot escape punishment by simply having money and connections.

      Using our world as a template, it probably would be illegal to revive a convict, but itd be an open secret that a few well placed bribes and a bit of influence is all it’d take to bend the rules

        No, no. It would be illegal to revive a convict using abilities that are affordable or available to the general public. And it would be a crime to both use those methods and to be revived by them.
