History FramingTheGuiltyParty / KnownGuiltyParties

* In "Fanfic/WhenLegendsMeet'', the [[Series/{{Leverage}} Leverage team]] assist Oliver Queen (''Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'') in essentially framing Senator Cray for his various crimes after Agent Smith warns Oliver's ally Lyla not to go after the senator even though Team Arrow are fully aware that (among other things) Cray hired mercenaries to attack himself and then accused the dead Floyd Lawton of being behind it. After Oliver and the Leverage team arrange a meeting with Cray to discuss setting up Chinese immigrants as illegal labour, they not only steal and release all information of Cray's criminal deals, but then release a doctored video of Cray's meeting with Oliver, now edited to show Cray meeting with Chien Na Wei, planting the idea that he is actually working with the Chinese triad.

* In one episode of ''Series/{{Witchblade}}'', Danny Woo is revealed to have once planted evidence to get a SerialKiller convicted (they knew he was their guy but couldn't prove it). The plot kicks off courtesy of the killer's conviction being overturned because of the frame-up, forcing the team to catch him all over again.

* Subverted in the Australian mini-series ''Blue Murder''. Detectives arrest a criminal and, after he's cuffed, plant a gun in his car as a parole violation. He responds that they don't need that, as he's already carrying one for real.

* This is what Cersei ''thinks'' she's doing to Tyrion in his trial for murder in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. She is utterly convinced of his guilt but fears the evidence isn't strong enough, so she gets her witnesses against him to exaggerate or just flat-out lie. There's a good chance many of the witnesses are doing it of their own volition.

* A version is present in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': A version of this trope occurs in the episode "The Pale Moonlight". There's no denying that the Dominion is a threat, but the Romulans have a non-aggression pact with them. Sisko, at Garak's urging and with his help, at first tries to convince a Pro-Dominion Romulan senator to join the cause with fake evidence that the Dominion will be coming for the Romulans soon rather than trying to make peace. When the deception is found out, Sisko braces for the Romulans rejecting an alliance or even joining the Dominion... and then a bomb (apparently Dominion-made) destroys the Senator's shuttle with him aboard after meeting with the Dominion and conveniently providing imperfections to the evidence that would explain their seeming falsity. Garak, knowing it would eventually come to that ([[GambitRoulette and apparently also knowing that the shuttle wouldn't immediately send a message to Romulus contradicting the frameup]]), had planted the bomb in order to frame the Dominion for assassinating a prominent Romulan. This mirrors the RealLife Reichstag fire, which fully galvanized the German populace into accepting the Nazi party over the German Communist Party.

* ''Series/{{Scandal}}'': In "Hell Hath No Fury", Pope & Associates takes on the case of a man charged with rape. Harrison discovers that the man's accuser had a best friend who killed herself after being raped by their client, and the accuser is framing him for her own rape as revenge. While the client beats the rape charges, Olivia is able to convince his mother to turn him over to the police for the rape he actually committed.

* One episode of ''Series/LoisAndClark'' had a photographer take photos of Superman and Lois in a compromising position (''[[MistakenForCheating after]]'' [[[[MistakenForCheating Lois and Clark got married]]). Superman is ready to reveal his secret identity in order to stop the adultery accusations... fortunately, the photographer had her film destroyed before it could be developed, and was forced to order a photoshopped copy.

* In an episode of ''Series/DarkAngel'', a criminal kills a man by defenestration in front of Original Cindy and Normal. Later, Logan shoots the dead man's body in the head at the morgue (the coroner is one of his network of contacts and agrees she will report the cause of death as a bullet to the head) and has the gun planted on the guilty party while he's passing through a checkpoint, ensuring that he'll be arrested and charged with the murder.
