I think that future morality would be different enough from current morality by the time it becomes possible to reawaken/resurrect/[please tell me what the LW term of choice is] cryonics patients such that cryonics patients in general would be regarded as less likely to be moral than people born in the future. Any future capable of bringing back cryonics patients would be highly likely to prevent crime in the cryonic population, and not let the Kim dynasty harm any future victims.
The main consequentialist reason to punish crimes is to prevent future crimes. Refusing to cryopreserve people who do bad things would be a poor deterrent, as most people display little interest in cryonics. Cryopreserving people who do bad things would be unlikely to increase the harm they could do, because the future could presumably refuse to bring back any patients who they saw as a threat until they knew how to mitigate that risk.
