I've seen it too.
We have Acquitted Too Late, not sure if that works.

Do you think that this idea is worthy of being its own trope, though perhaps a subordinate trope to a parent trope? Also, would you be willing to adopt it and see to its development afterward, as someone who, I believe, is well-acquainted with "raising" tropes until launch?
Is there a "plot trope" for the often-used plot where a character is accused of great wrongdoing that they were not responsible for or is mistreated harshly by another character, only for different character(s) to not believe them and harshly punish or shun them as a result of their perceived crime/lie, and the punished/shunned character leaves, only for the accuser(s) to have a My God What Have I Done Moment after somehow realizing their mistake, whether they figure it out on their own or another character points it out to them, and beg the mistreated character for forgiveness and to "come back" while apologizing and admitting their wrongdoing in regards to how they treated them?
So, even though the basic plot of the "plot trope" I offered may be rather specific in places, and for that, I am sorry for possibly having poorly explained the trope, I have seen it happen in many forms of media and enjoy it. Is it a trope, and does it have an entry already? I think it fits somewhere in the apology trope index and would be a "common plot" trope like the Beach Episode trope, but further specifics as to how it would be categorized illude me.
