Line 6:
Often the result of [[Better Manhandle the Murder Weapon]]. If the police think that the character is guilty but their friends stand by them, then it's [[Clear My Name]]. See also [[Guilt By Coincidence]]. Expect a [[Mistaken Confession]] if it's a comedy.
{{examples
== Anime and Manga ==
* A variant occurs in an episode of the anime miniseries ''[[Rumic Theater]]'', "Abberant Family F", where a girl is convinced the rest of her family plans to kill her and then commit group suicide during a family vacation.
* Happens in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]'', with {{spoiler|Satoko believing that Keiichi murdered Rika in the climax of''Tatarigoroshi-hen'', after Keiichi, while Satoko is absent, finds Rika's body, drops the hatchet he's carrying into her blood in shock, ''[[What an Idiot!|picks the hatchet back up]]''...at which point Satoko returns. Also happens with Shion believing that the [[Yakuza|rest of the Sonozaki family]] is responsible for Satoshi's disappearance.}}
** {{spoiler|Keiichi himself believes that Rena and Mion are out to kill him in the first arc. They make threatening remarks, reference another student's similar behaviour before "transferring", creepily show up at his house at night, and even try to inject him with a drug implied to be the same one used to murder Tomitake. [[Batter Up|What happens afterwards]]... Of course, this was all in Keiichi's head, exacerbated by an extreme case of [[Hate Plague]]. The things said by Rena and Mion were all either misunderstood or [[Unreliable Narrator|made up entirely by Keiichi's decaying sanity]].}}
* In ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'', Ganta is framed for murder {{spoiler|slaughtering his entire class}} and is sentenced to death in a [[Kangaroo Court]] {{spoiler|his lawyer is actually head of the prison he goes to}}. Although {{spoiler|Ganta ''can'' kill people the way his classmates were murdered, his powers weren't activated until just after the slaughter}}.
