* In ''Speaking with the Dead'' by Elaine Cunningham ([[Forgotten Realms|Realms of Mystery]]) Elaith Craulnober ([[Magnificent Bastard|of all people]]) was accused of a murder but swore that <s>[[Not Me This Time|this time]]</s> he didn't do it. And Danilo Thann ([[Vitriolic Best Buds|of all people]]) had to defend him...

{{quote|'''Danilo''': Consider my dilemma. Even under the best of circumstances, "innocent" [[Understatement|is not the first word that comes to mind]] when your name is mentioned.}}

* In the ''[[Transformers ~~Trans Tech~~]]'' story "Gone Too Far", Jackpot & Hubcap are framed by the actual killer for the murder of a popular revolutionary, putting them in danger from the victim's gangster friends. To make matters even more fun for the duo, the police know they're innocent but play along with pretending they're guilty anyway, because they hope the duo will come across the real killer while trying to escape/[[Clear My Name|clear their name]].

* In ''[[The Machine Gunners]]'', Chas McGill tries to place his school rival and fellow war souvenir collector, Boddser Brown, at the top of the police's list of suspects for having stolen a downed bomber's rear-turret gun by specifically mentioning Brown and the things Chas ''knows'' Brown got from the same downed bomber in an essay.

Line 46:

* Every episode ever of ''[[Perry Mason]]'' and ''[[Matlock]]'' (since they're defense attorneys and [[Good Lawyers, Good Clients|all "good" defense attorneys have innocent clients]]...[[Sarcasm Mode|right]]?).

* ''[[wikipedia:Renegade (TV series)|Renegade]]'' is about a cop framed for murdering his lover, and is constantly trying to confront the bad cops who framed him.

* In two episodes of ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'', Stabler gets falsely accused of being sexually abusive.

** In the episode ''Doubt'', the accusation is made by a emotionally disturbed woman who is either traumatized by a real case of abuse or simply an attention-whore who realized just how much attention a false accusation can give her. In either case, she recants her accusation against Stabler {{spoiler|and the audience never gets to know if the guy she accused of rape got convicted or not - the episode ends as the jury is about to read the verdict.}}

** In the episode ''Delinquent'', a young sex-offender makes up a nonsense accusation against Stabler, and then try to get his own charges dropped in return for dropping his own charges against stabler.
