* The controversial case of John Demjanjuk, as depicted in the Netflix documentary ''The Devil Next Door'', ended up being an example. Demjanjuk, an elderly Ukrainian man living in the United States, was accused by the Israeli government of being a Nazi collaborator known as "Ivan the Terrible", a guard at the [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust Treblinka extermination camp]] who had operated the GasChamber and was notorious for his brutality and sadism. A widely-publicized trial convicted Demjanjuk, but the conviction was quashed by the Israeli Supreme Court after it was revealed that the Israeli government had withheld evidence conclusively proving that "Ivan" was not Demjanjuk, but another Ukrainian named Ivan Marchenko; they had misidentified Demjanjuk and would rather send him to prison for life than admit their mistake. However, when the source of the confusion was further investigated, it was discovered that "John" Demjanjuk was really ''Ivan'' Demjanjuk (hence the confusion with Marchenko), a Nazi collaborator who had worked at a different extermination camp, and Demjanjuk soon found himself back in court.

** Eventually, Baltar is put on trial for the Cylons' disastrous occupation of New Caprica. It really was his fault, but not for the reason they think. He gave Cylon agent Gina Inviere the nuke whose radiation signature ultimately led the Cylons to the planet, but his only collaborations with the Cylon regime during the occupation were under duress. The witnesses have to resort to perjury to make the case against him, as none of the prosecutors know what he's actually guilty of, and he's ultimately acquitted.
