In the Emirate of Sedquamluectis ruled by a Magocracy, a character must undergo a Trial by combat.
He has been framed by A magic item - sword, relic, wondrous item - and if found guilty of Treason, his punishment will be Resurrection. You just need a portion of the creature’s body to bring them back to life. So, kill the prisoner and bring them back when their sentence ends. There’s an expense of 10,000 gp, but a wealthy family might be given annual Resurrection privileges for an hour or so if they pay the bill.

Emirate - A county or land area taken care of by an emir, who is of the royal family, and considered a prince and governor.
Magocracy - Magicians who were credited with great power often became chiefs and kings in early societies. A magocracy is a form of government in which society is ruled by such magi, wizards, or witches. The term is used in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game and other works, by analogy with aristocracy, meritocracy, and theocracy.
