* Plays a part in the ''Series/DeathInParadise'' episode "In the Footsteps of a Killer"; eight years prior, a woman was arrested for murder and died in prison, as she was the only one of the pool of suspects who couldn't provide an alibi. However, the episode opens when a man the victim slept with on the night of the crime returns to the island to give her an alibi; the night he slept with the victim was the last day of his holiday on the island and he had an early morning flight out, with the result that he never realised she was in trouble until he returned. This new information leads to the team re-opening the case and determining that the true culprit had faked their own alibi.

* A non-lethal example occurs in the ''WesternAnimation/VivaPinata'' episode "Candibalism". When Fergy is declared guilty of being a cannibal (he ate a life-sized chocolate bunnycomb after trying to pass it off as his cousin), he gets catapulted to the moon. Right after he's sent flying, a piece of paper flutters down... which turns out to be a receipt for a life-sized chocolate bunnycomb. Fortunately for [[SweetTooth Fergy]], the moon happens to be full of sweets, so it's not a total DownerEnding. And Ferry is back on earth by the next episode [[SnapBack without any explanation]].
