Line 10:
[[Framing the Guilty Party]] is a subtrope where the party framed is actually guilty. It can be a [[Subversion]] or even a [[Double Subversion]] of the classic Frameup depending on the convolutions of apparent and actual guilt. In a similar vein, in Noir-themed crime dramas the frame can be rehung many times: a white-knuckle version of pass-the-parcel. If the framed party is an animal, [[This Bear Was Framed]]. If the framed party is dead, then it's a [[Deceased Fall Guy Gambit]].
See also: [[Taking the Heat]], where an innocent person attempts to put ''themselves'' in the frame to save someone else. [[False-Flag Operation]], where it is an entire organization or nation that is being framed by another. Compare and contrast [[Abomination Accusation Attack]], where the accusation just mentions a type of crime, not any specific instance. Certain forms of a [[Motivational Lie]] can be related in spirit. See also: [[Fall Guy]]
