Season 10 would later retcon it, stating that the aliens ultimately called off their invasion plans as global warming and dwindling resources was making Earth onto even more of a InsignificantLittleBluePlanet.

JokerJury: Mulder's trial is essentially this. All members bar Mulder's side are all out to see him dead, and despite Scully finding hard evidence of the electrocuted man's body not being Knowle Rohrer, Kersh calls her out for this unauthorised action and dismisses her claims. The jury all come to the conclusion that they find Mulder guilty, despite the presentations of the other testimonies.
