Your sentence has three verbs. The first two are in the active voice and the third is passive
There's no rule against that, but it doesn't sound good. It's almost always best to make them all active or all passive:
- The court tried the man, found him guilty and sent him to prison
- The man was tried by the court, found guilty and sent to prison
