When one comes across a Frame-Up, the usual assumption is that the victim of the frame is innocent. Sometimes, however, this is not the case.
Framing the Guilty Party usually takes one of four forms:
Framing a Known Guilty Party: You know who the bad guy is, but there's not quite enough evidence to prove it, so the cops/prosecutors either create the evidence or allow someone else to create it and/or perjure themselves in order to convict them. If the Good Guys get away with it because the Bad Guy deserves it, it's Pay Evil unto Evil.
Framing an Unknown Guilty Party: Person A frames Person B for some reason (revenge, personal antipathy, lulz, deflecting suspicion from Person A and/or his friends, etc)... and it turns out that Person B actually was the bad guy who really did commit the crime.
Framing a Party known for being Guilty of something else: Person A commits a crime and frames Person B, but Person B is guilty of other, possibly just as severe crimes that he or she got away with — at times, it’s exactly this guilt that makes them so easy to frame.
Framing Yourself: The guilty party plants enough evidence to make themselves a suspect, and either does the frame-up so incompetently that it's obviously a frame-up, or later somehow exposes the "frame-up". The goal of this maneuver is usually that the guilty party will be put beyond suspicion, on the basis that the real culprit tried to frame someone innocent; this may lead genuine evidence incriminating the guilty party to be disregarded, on the assumption that it was also planted, or else cannot be prosecuted without violating laws against double jeopardy. However, sometimes there are more complicated motives, such as drawing unwanted attention to the actual culprit by forcing an investigation into "your" crimes.
Unsurprisingly, while the first form can be considered Truth in Television (how true it is obviously depends on how corrupt your local police force and prosecuting counsel are), the second one is almost always pure fiction, often something of a Contrived Coincidence. If someone trying to frame themselves pulls it off, the character is typically on the way to Magnificent Bastard status, although there's always the risk that if the investigators don't fall for the fake frame-up (either by not realizing it's a frame in the first place, or realizing the frame was faked), the perp has provided evidence proving their own guilt, in which case it's more of an Idiot Ball.
Compare Bluffing the Murderer/Engineered Public Confession, in which the evidence to convict the guilty party is created by somehow tricking them into doing something revealing rather than via a frame. See also: Frame-Up, for implicating the innocent with false evidence. Framing Yourself can also overlap with Sarcastic Confession. Someone who takes the frame at face value, and therefore suspects the guilty party, is Right for the Wrong Reasons. Contrasts Then Let Me Be Evil, the case when the framed party commits atrocities because they are framed.
WARNING! Although spoiler tags are used below, even the unspoiled mention of works could give away major developments. Proceed at your own risk!

This was used in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit called "Repression." An 18-year-old girl recovered memories of her father molesting her when she was young and planted images of child pornography in her youngest sister's room, in the hopes that it would be enough to get him in prison. Subverted when the investigation later learns that the memory that was recovered wasn't a real memory, that her father never molested her or her two sisters. The typical SVU sadness kicks in because this was learned after her younger sister killed their father.

It was pretty much the central premise of The Mysterious Affair at Styles, where the murderer goes to elaborate lengths to frame himself for the murder of his wife, acting shifty, having public tiffs with her, being seen purchasing the poison, openly enjoying his newfound wealth, etc... albeit keeping a rock-solid alibi up his sleeve. The plan was to get speedily tried on a wave of public outcry, whip out the alibi at the last second, be found innocent on that shocking revelation alone, then be forevermore protected by the Double Jeopardy rule (in Anglo-Saxon law, one can't be tried for the same crime twice). Hercule Poirot foils this plan by refusing to allow the man's arrest until he has true evidence of his guilt.

The A.I. Gang: When one of Black Glove's transmitters is found in Euterpe's rocket, Dr. Hwa finds it easier to blame enemy agent Ramon Korbuscek, who's known to have also attempted to tamper with the rocket, for its presence than to accept that the mysterious agent Black Glove is behind it. Naturally, it's yet another effort by Hwa to throw suspicion off himself, since he is Black Glove.

The Trees of Pride has an interesting variant on this effect. The local doctor needs Squire Vane to be declared legally dead in order that his daughter may inherit the Squire's estates and cut down a grove of poisonous trees (the Squire suffers from an extreme case of Scully Syndrome, and is unwilling to accept any amount of evidence corroborating the folk tales regarding the tree's lethality). He talks the Squire into going on a secret vacation for a few months, then plants evidence to indicate that the Squire was murdered and that he was the murderer. Since he could easily halt any prosecution by simply producing the Squire alive and well, he knew that he personally ran very little risk.

Andor: In order to explain the irregularities in her banking records caused by her funding the rebellion Senator Mon Mothma has an argument with her husband accusing him of gambling recklessly again when she knows an ISB agent is listening in. This works particularly well because her husband does have a gambling addiction and a history of getting in trouble with it.

One episode of Bones has the team consider framing an innocent party to get the guilty party to plead. A woman with diplomatic immunity had killed the woman who'd been sleeping with both her husband and son. All the evidence could have also pointed to the woman's son as the murderer if the team just left out a few details. The hope was that she would confess and waive her immunity in order to protect her son. Booth ultimately decides not to go through with it, since it's still lying even though they don't intend to actually take the evidence to court. They convince the woman to plead because the alternative is handing the real evidence over to her home government so she can be tried there, where she'll most likely be killed in prison by her political enemies.

Subverted in Jade Dragon, where The Shadow investigates a frame-up so obvious the authorities will likely conclude the man is innocent, but a sleuth who goes a step further soon realizes that's exactly how a clever enough criminal could get away with murder. The real crook, though, went a step further than that, adding increasingly subtle evidence against the guy...

Probe's "Metamorphic Anthropoidic Prototype Over You": Someone has planted evidence that an orangutan (Josephine) had killed Louise with a gun. Josephine was surgically modified to increase her intelligence. She has created a sign language and written language, and educated herself by watching TV. She murdered Louise because she was a romantic rival for Austin's affections, and planted the evidence because on TV, the obvious suspect that everyone thinks did it at first, is always found innocent.

Honor Harrington: In At All Costs, Havenite politician Arnold Giancola plants obviously manufactured evidence that (correctly) names him as the one responsible for altering diplomatic correspondence which started the war all over again.

In Kevin & Kell, Angelique and Kevin's father try to frame each other for killing Sid, and both are convinced the other did it. It turns out that Danielle was on a mission to assassinate Sid, and he accidentally shot himself with her gun when she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her father then decides to take the blame in her place, since his frame-up was the one that was more accepted.

As Akechi is not known to be an affiliate of Shido by anyone but a select few (who will be dealt with first) Shido's plan is to let him take the blame for all the murders he did, leaving out that they were all on his own orders, after which Akechi will be killed himself to prevent any leaks

In one episode of Hustle, a crooked DI tried to extort 10 grand off a friend of the team, so they gave her the perfect opportunity to extort them — that she would get the proceeds of their con, or she'd call the cops on them. Except, of course, they rigged it so all the evidence would point to her pulling off the con by herself, and then called the cops on her. Her original wrongdoing is never brought up.

A slight variant of Category 2 is in the film Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. A crusading newspaper editor (John McIntire) wants to prove that the death penalty can cause an innocent man to be executed. He hatches a bizarre plot with his star reporter (Dana Andrews): the editor will plant false evidence indicating that the reporter is guilty of a recent unsolved sex murder. After the reporter is arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death, the editor will come forward with proof that the evidence was falsified, forcing the authorities to release the reporter. Amazingly enough, the reporter agrees to this. The first twist comes when the editor is killed in an accident, and the evidence destroyed before he can clear the reporter. The second twist comes when it develops that the reporter is the actual murderer.

Better For Loving You: George Wickham hasn't done anything to Elizabeth personally, but he came very close to seducing Georgiana Darcy and swindling her out of a very large dowry, and he has a history of leaving large unpaid debts behind him, so Elizabeth wants him kicked out of her town — but she doesn't want to embarrass the Darcys by revealing Georgiana's folly. So, after spreading truthful rumours about the debts, she arranges a public confrontation where she accuses Wickham of speaking shamefully to her, and even slaps him, which finishes the sinking of his reputation and results in him being confined to quarters by his commanding officer, essentially house arrest.

In Chicago, one application of this trope gets two murderesses off the hook. Sleazy lawyer Billy Flynn creates a fake diary that supposedly belongs to Villain Protagonist Roxie Hart, talking about how she killed the man she was having an affair with and how she was glad she did it. Co-conspirator Velma Kelly then presents it to the prosecutors of both cases, using it as a bargaining chip to get the charges against her dropped. When the diary is presented as evidence, however, Flynn points out that the diary is full of legal jargon — as though it had been written by a lawyer...

A very odd variation happens in Dragon Age: Inquisition during the "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts" quest. The "guilty" party is Grand Duchess Florianne attempting to frame her brother Gaspard for the murder of Empress Celene. He has nothing to do with her plans, but he is making his own moves by moving in chevaliers and mercenaries to lead a coup. While Gaspard knows nothing of what Florianne was planning, it is unknown if the reverse is true. Given that Orlais is a Decadent Court where the nobility literally make a game out of political intrigue, it's more than likely Florianne knew her brother was up to something, even if she didn't know the exact details.

In Town of Salem, there are several ways for this to happen. One way is for the Framer role to frame someone for being part of the mafia, while that person is actually a different evil role. There's also the Jester Springtime for Hitler; Jesters want to make the town think they're evil, and one easy way to do that is to throw suspicion on random people, ending up looking suspicious yourself either by getting a townie executed or just making enough bad accusations. Of course, Jesters aren't part of the Mafia and don't know who is, so it's entirely possible for them to nail a genuine Mafia member.

Also, in Towards Zero, culminating in a complex double set of framing: first, the real killer framed himself, clumsily, and then put together a much more professional set of planted evidence pointing at someone else. The desired end result was that the second suspect would be hanged for murder; the actual murder victim was only a means to an end.

The Kindaichi Case Files has one. A hanged chicken dripping blood to a math test answer sheet (which points the whole prank to the only teacher owning that answer sheet) complete with rumor that said teacher was the one starting the prank, her being in in the same closed room as the first victim, and the prep school building's dark past related to her grandfather all point at the math teacher. It turns out that she's really the killer, deliberately spreading rumors about her involvement and constantly placing herself as the one with highest possibility for being the killer while preparing plausible false deduction for Kindaichi in order to get away with her crime.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail has the infamous witch trial, where a group of peasants, by all appearances, just grabbed a random woman and dressed her up in a witch costume because they wanted to burn something. They seem to have no evidence aside from one guy who claims she turned him into a newt ("I got better."), until Sir Bedivere administers a test that reveals she is indeed a witch. She shrugs it off with "That's a fair cop."

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag: During the modern-day portions of the game, you play as an Animus researcher working for Abstergo who is coerced by a mysterious voice in IT to hack into various computers and deliver information to the Assassins. Later in the game, Abstergo gets wise to this and imprisons you and your co-workers while they investigate to find out who did it. During this time, however, your IT contact, rather than being an Assassin mole in a Templar run business, reveals himself to be a lunatic reincarnation of Aita who's trying to get you possessed by a virtual ghost (that of the ISU Juno upon aka the goddess Juno in mythology and Aita's wife before his first death and reincarnations in humanity); when he fails at this, he tries to kill you and is shot dead by security while you are on the ground from a non-fatal drug dose right next to him making it look like he was trying to make it look like he killed the perpetrator to cover for himself. The circumstances of the aforementioned scenario and the evidence found in his files (and the fact that he is the Head of IT giving him access to places the player shouldn't technically be able to go in) is more than enough to divert all suspicion from you. So, in the course of trying to eliminate you, he frames himself for the crimes you actually committed, albeit at his behest.

There was an episode of The Practice in which a white cop alleged that a black man walked up to him and confessed to being in possession of cocaine. The prosecution unsuccessfully argues that it's a self-framing job. The cop's partner asks the judge why he would make up such a ridiculous story, to which she replies that perhaps he did it precisely to open up that line of reasoning. Unlike the above example, it's revealed that the man was in fact guilty; he tells his lawyer that he did it in order to stop the cop from brutalizing another black man, correctly figuring that no jury would believe it happened that way.

In one Schlock Mercenary arc, the good guys blew up a reality TV network, and planted evidence to frame its CEO for the disaster. They would have gotten away with it, but someone else planted even more evidence, framing them for being in cahoots with the (actually innocent) CEO. They had a lot of trouble defending themselves against the false charges because if they gave their real alibi, they would have revealed their real crimes.

Subverted in Ruthless People. Sam was planning on killing his wife, Barbara — but she was kidnapped before he could. That said, after the chief of police was unintentional blackmailed into investigating Sam (the "blackmailers" thought it was evidence of Sam killing Barbara; it was really the chief cheating on his wife and doing a hooker), his attempt to frame Sam is sidelined by his men finding the bottle of chloroform Sam intended to use and pics of Carol with Sam.

An interesting example of the criminal himself suggesting the framing. In Hannibal, the titular character is escaping from Mason Verger's farm where he was going to be killed when Mason shows up with his personal physician. He orders his doctor to go into a pit filled with man-eating pigs to get a gun and shoot Hannibal. When the doctor refuses, Mason threatens to expose the doctor's role in his crimes. Hannibal says, "Hey Cordell! Why don't you push him in [the pit]? You can always say it was me." He then proceeds to do so.

The protagonist of Kind Hearts and Coronets spends most of the film coldly and methodically killing off the entire aristocratic D'Ascoyne family. In the end, his jealous girlfriend tips off the police that he is the murderer... of her husband, who in fact committed suicide on a completely unrelated note. It evolves into a Category 3 in the end. Almost. Probably.

Sort of used on American Dad!!, when a series of improbable events happened to make Stan look like a wife-beating child molester. Stan's solution was to find somebody who, while innocent, deserved the punishment anyway. They wound up framing it on a co-worker of Roger's who had screwed him over. The fact that the police found (legal) neo-Nazi apparel — and that the detective in charge of the case was a Holocaust survivor — was a rather handy bonus. Another bonus: Stan specifically describes his plan in a way that seems to point to the U.S. overthrowing Saddam Hussein, who likewise deserved to get overthrown even though he was innocent of the specific crime he was accused of.

Category three is utilized in the Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode "Eosphoros" (fittingly, since the show is more psychological and frequently deals with self-styled Magnificent Bastards and Chessmasters). The killer intentionally plants evidence against him (his fingerprints on a packet of ketchup that was at the crime scene), then gives the detectives a prepared explanation for it. This almost succeeds in getting him off the hook, too.

One episode of Hunters depicts three SS officers investigating an old couple suspected of hiding Jews and murdering a previous SS team who were looking for them. They find no evidence of this, but one of them, wanting the house and needing to find a solution to the case, guns the couple down and convinces the others to say that the couple were guilty. Unknown to him, the couple actually were hiding Jews and had murdered the missing SS men to conceal that fact.

The Life of David Gale has an alternate motive for this: the eponymous character planted evidence to frame himself specifically so that additional evidence created to exonerate him would only be found after he was found guilty and given the death penalty, thus turning public opinion against capital punishment by being an example of a wrongfully-executed man. He, the victim, and an accomplice staged the whole thing from the start.

A variant occurred in a Something*Positive story arc. Kharisma had been trying to kill a very rich, very evil, and very old man because he made a bet with her: if she managed to kill him within a certain time period, she would inherit all his money. He survives all of her murder attempts because he's just that evil, only to die of natural causes just before the time limit expired. However, she is arrested and convicted of his murder anyway. And she doesn't help herself by bragging about the bet every chance she got...

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has a strange non-murder example in the second case. Byakuya Togami isn't the murderer; however, he did rearrange the crime scene to frame someone else (a Serial Killer... who actually didn't do it this time), but he made sure to leave just enough evidence to frame himself for the framing. Turns out he did this to scout out who was most likely to catch him if he ever did decide to murder someone. And for the lols.

Archer:
In the premiere episode, there is a double-whammy example of this trope. The eponymous secret agent wants to erase the fact that he's been misappropriating government funds to fuel his playboy lifestyle, so he hastily contrives a reason that might convince others to let him secretly access the mainframe: "I'm on a mole-hunt!" It doesn't work as intended. Instead, this causes the real mole to make a run for it, pay for his getaway using Archer's account, and ultimately get blamed for all of Archer's financial discrepancies.
Our "hero" is accused of fathering an illegitimate son with a prostitute. His blood is drawn for the paternity test, but he secretly swaps the sample with blood from his co-worker so that the sample won't match the child's DNA. It turns out that his co-worker was the real father, making the samples match, and everyone believes that Archer is the father.

As part of a Wraith plan to expose the corrupt General Thaal in X-Wing: Mercy Kill, one member is disguised as the general and kidnaps an actress, with some independent investigators arranged to find her a day later. However, the framing is thin enough that they don't really expect it to stick. The actual motive was twofold; first, the general really was planning on kidnapping the actress, so a fake kidnapping saves her from being in real danger. More importantly, news of this whole event will draw lots of media attention, so when the Wraiths expose Thaal's very real crimes, he won't be able to sweep it under the rug.
The squadron's master plan involves another variation on this; they've discovered that Thaal has plans for a complex procedure involving genetic modification to create a new identity, which he and his compatriots should undergo once they're ready to transition into a criminal empire. However, the Wraiths figure out that Thaal has already undergone the procedure some time ago, and is merely in disguise as his normal self, able to disappear at a moment's notice if something ever goes wrong before they're ready. They turn his plan around on him by luring him to a place with lots of witnesses and then have an accomplice "discover" his disguise, convincing everyone that Thaal is actually an imposter who pulled a Kill and Replace on the "real" general.

Karma's a Bitch: Part of the reason Zoe is able to make her scam so successful is that she specifically targets people who are already guilty of other crimes, meaning that when she turns around and frames them for her own crimes after exposing them, no one is going to think twice about one more crime being added to the pile.

Perfidia: Dudley Smith successfully frames Fujio Shudo for the ritual murder of a middle-class Japanese family that forms the central mystery of the novel. Shudo is an Ax-Crazy drug addict and pervert with a history of sexual assault, though he is completely innocent of the murder he's being framed for. He makes for a very useful scapegoat, and no one mourns his railroading.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch, Jr. and the Lestranges are sentenced to Azkaban in an obvious show trial. While the Lestranges are obviously guilty (Bellatrix boasts that Voldemort will free them someday as she's dragged away), the reader is led to believe that Crouch, Jr. was innocent. Later, we find out that he actually was a Death Eater after all. It's unclear whether Barty Crouch, Sr. knew that his son was guilty (in which case this is category 1) or if he was just covering his own political ass (in which case this is category 2). Basically, it comes down to your own interpretation of how huge a Jerkass you think Crouch, Sr. was.

An unusual case of this in the Monk episode "Mr. Monk and the Critic": Thanks to work from Monk and Natalie, the police suspect theater critic John Hannigan of murdering his girlfriend, Callie Esterhaus. So Monk, Natalie, Stottlemeyer, and Disher confront Hannigan at his office to question him about drugging and raping an underaged girl — specifically Natalie's daughter Julie. Hannigan denies the accusation and claims he has never seen Julie before. This gives him away because Julie was performing in the play Hannigan was using as his alibi for the murder, and at one point in the show, she has a solo, where she looks exactly like she does right now. The fact that Hannigan says he doesn't recognize Julie proves he wasn't at the theater at all and was committing the murder. Goodbye, alibi.

In one episode of the original Law & Order, a police officer is killed, and initial evidence points to the priest who molested the officer when he was a boy. It turns out the officer's death was actually a suicide that had been staged to look like murder by the responding officers, who had no idea about any of this and were just trying to preserve his reputation and his family's survivor benefits by hiding the fact that he killed himself; the fact that it pointed to someone who had a checkered past was a total coincidence.

In BattleTech, Sun-Tzu Liao accused Victor Steiner-Davion of having replaced Thomas Marik's son, Joshua, who was in Victor's realm undergoing medical treatment for leukemia, with a body double. Unbeknownst to Sun-Tzu, who was just trying to stir up trouble for his most hated rival, Joshua actually had died and been replaced with a body double while a panicking Victor tried to figure out what to do, as he was foolishly afraid that Thomas would cut off the military aid Victor needed to refit his forces after the damage they'd suffered during the Clan Invasion. Thomas was an extremely honorable ruler and had Victor been honest with him he wouldn't have done anything simply because it was against his principles, but he was justifiably furious over the attempted deception and launched a military campaign against Victor that caused significant damage.

The Caesars: In "Claudius", the sixth episode, Capito tries to save himself and his son Bassus from being tortured to death for allegedly conspiring against Emperor Caligula by offering to name his fellow conspirators. They include Caligula's dancing teacher Mnester, patricians Callistus and Vitellius, and Caligula's wife Caesonia; the last name allows Caligula to see through the lie, and Capito and Bassus are both killed. However, Callistus and Vitellius actually were conspiring against Caligula, and organise his assassination by the Praetorian Guard at the end of the episode.

In Semper Ad Meliora, Lelouch, Kallen, and Isaac Stadtfeld frame the majority of the Stadtfeld family for planning to assassinate the latter two over an issue of inheritance. Said family is actually guilt of treason, having sold secrets to the Rus Republic several decades prior and still having channels open with the E.U. Lelouch arranged for this framing to ensure that Kallen and Isaac would retain their titles as Duke of Westhaven and Heir to said Duchy.

Case Closed:
One murderer drew a letter on the wall pointing towards herself in the victim's blood, but the victim was killed instantly and thus couldn't possibly have drawn it. This also allowed her to use her own skeet shooting gun without worrying about fingerprints (since anyone in the club could have accessed it) or gun powder residue (since she had used it earlier anyway).
Another made it look like he had killed the victim (a fairly accomplished swordsman) in a swordfight by cutting up the room (cutting way too much and too randomly while purposefully leaving a certain statue intact to implicate another suspect) and leaving a sword clenched (the wrong way) in the victim's hands. This was also done in an attempt to hide the dying message left by the victim while his back was turned.

Murder, She Wrote:
In "Murder Takes The Bus", a character eventually confesses to a stabbing murder, but Jessica then states that he is guilty only of attempted murder because an amateur forensic analysis was sufficient to reveal that the victim was already deceased when the stabbing occurred. She later realizes that the character had committed the murder all along, hoping that confessing to a stabbing that a coroner would easily find was not the cause of death would prevent anyone from realizing that he had committed the strangulation that actually did kill the victim.
In "Murder in High C", the murderer shoots the victim with his own gun, silenced, in a room he knows won't be disturbed. A few hours later he fires a couple of blanks without the silencer, and is found kneeling over the body holding the gun, having made sure Jessica is there to spot the inconsistencies.

The Jonathan Creek episode " Demon's Roost" has a flashback to the " striped unicorn" case, in which the murderer arranges things so that it looks like he must have killed his wife, but plants evidence towards a more complicated solution that suggests he's being framed, relying on Jonathan to be so used to Locked Room Mysteries that the idea the only other person in the room was the murderer would actually strike him as less likely. And it worked; Jonathan only figures it out during the present-day scenes.

Paradoxus: Bloom's sudden disappearance in the third chapter sends both Domino and Eraklyon into a tizzy. Due to Eraklyon's civil war against warlord Yoshinoya, he's their main and only suspect, which leads to his execution at Queen Daphne's hands. Unfortunately for him, while he's guilty of terrorism and kidnapping, he's got nothing to do with Bloom's situation; that's Eudora Budhartil's fault.

In Life Is Strange, at the end of Chapter two when Max, David, Nathan, and Jefferson are discussing Kate's suicide attempt in Principal Wells's office, the player has the option of blaming any of the other three characters. Of the three, the easiest is Jefferson for it based on an argument observed between Kate and him shortly time before the incident occurred (which was clearly what pushed her, because of his unusually callous lack of sympathy, but had nothing to do with the crime that made her suicidal in the first place). The other two options (or not blaming anyone) are trickier, as you need to have some evidence for the accusations (otherwise Max will be suspended), making it seem like an easier, but worse option. However Jefferson is indeed the Big Bad, and the one who drugged and photographed Kate (with Nathan as his accomplice, and the one who actually killed Rachel Amber), and in hindsight was clearly deliberately trying to push her to eliminate a loose end.

He is shocked speechless when Gull confesses to the crimes. Years later, still shaken, he admits to Abberline, "I made it all up, and it all came true anyway. That's the funny part."

In Freddy vs. Jason, Freddy Krueger resurrects Jason Voorhees and tricks him into killing a few kids in Springwood, Ohio, with the intent of taking credit for Jason's murders (since the adult residents will assume it's him). Unfortunately for Freddy, the titular conflict begins when Jason keeps going at it. Unlike other examples of this sub-trope, Freddy fully intends to take credit for the first few kills since the people's fear of him gives him the power to murder at his leisure.

In Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa this turns out to be the twist of "A Study in Vermilion", though it isn't revealed as such until the end of the next related case. Yohei is found dead in an apartment complex, and the most likely culprit is his family friend Mutobe. Himura deduces that Mutobe was framed by the actual culprit... only for it to later be revealed that the actual culprit was Mutobe, who deliberately framed himself knowing that Himura would take the case and absolve him of suspicion.

In Feet of Clay, Vimes is investigating an arsenic poisoning, when he finds a packet of powdered arsenic and a bottle of booze in his office just as authorities suddenly arrive in response to a tip-off (and quickly realises their plan was to make him fall Off the Wagon and be found drunk with the evidence). Vimes's response is to hide the arsenic, play drunk and then "plant" some sugar on himself, then eat it theatrically in front of the authorities to make the frame-up look like a clumsy(ier) frame-up. That's right, he framed his framers for framing him.

Delusions of Grandeur: It's extremely unlikely that Don Salluste, who's old and solely interested in money, would have fathered a child with one of the Queen's handmaidens. In fact, he reacts with shock to the mere concept and heartily denies it.note In the original play, he himself notes what an idiot he was for doing so. However, considering he's utterly crooked and has been stealing tax money that belonged to the kingdom for years now, it's obvious the Queen has seized this pretext to finally put him into disgrace, rather than bother proving his actual crimes.

Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo: The Titans Tower is randomly attacked by an assailant sent by a mysterious Japanese supervillain named Brushogun; but when they travel to Tokyo to investigate, the local police chief Daizo is an Obstructive Bureaucrat who denies that Brushogun even exists, and is busy leading a crack team called the "Tokyo Troopers" saving the city from bizarre monsters and other villains. It turns out that Brushogun not only exists, he was actually a prisoner of Daizo the whole time, and the Troopers and all of the monsters and villains were creations that Daizo forced the ageing Brushogun to make so Daizo could play the hero. The only reason the Titans were attacked in the first place was Brushogun desperately trying to bring real heroes to Tokyo to rescue him from Daizo and foil his evil scheme.

An episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles offers a sci-fi twist on the trope. Charles Fisher, who survived Judgement Day thanks to being in prison, later becomes a collaborator for Skynet and is rewarded by being sent back to live out the rest of his life before the war. It turns out Fisher's incarceration was thanks to a Stable Time Loop; he committed espionage, knowing that DNA evidence would implicate his younger self.

In Boston Legal, Alan Shore defends his ex-girlfriend and fellow lawyer Phoebe's husband Robert on charges of murder. Having told Alan her husband never left the house on the night of the murder, Phoebe changes her story on the stand. After Robert gives Alan dirt on Phoebe offscreen, he later invokes "Plan B", accusing Phoebe of committing the murder, although unlike the usual Plan B, Alan believes Phoebe may have actually done it. As planned, this creates enough reasonable doubt to get Robert acquitted. Phoebe admits afterwards that she intentionally made it look as if she was trying to get Robert convicted and got Robert to tell lies about her to Alan, knowing what he'd do. Robert (whom they all but admit is guilty) could always protect Phoebe by admitting his guilt, as he's protected by double jeopardy. Phoebe's faith that he would do that is possibly misplaced, but she points out that he probably wouldn't need to, as there's no real evidence against her because she didn't do it.

Danganronpa 3: Side Hope has a combination of Types 2, 3 and 4. Class 77-B, now revived and freed of their despair brainwashing, pull a Big Damn Heroes to save the surviving members of the Future Foundation. However, if it got out to the public that the Big Bad who orchestrated Side Future's killing game among the Future Foundation members was their own leader, people would lose all faith in the organization that's their best hope for pulling the world back together, so 77-B record a video claiming responsibility as the Remnants of Despair. They themselves are innocent, but the true mastermind had been manipulated by Chisa Yukizome, who was The Mole for the Despairs. So the Remnants of Despair ultimately did do it, but class 77-b didn't know it (type 2) and framed themselves (type 3) because the Despair organization made a good scapegoat (type 4) because they set up the previous two killing games.

No Way Out (1987):
Commander Farrell's girlfriend is killed accidentally by the Secretary of Defense, who blames a Soviet spy, setting off a Pentagon Witch Hunt. Farrell has to find proof who the real killer was before evidence turns up showing he had slept with her, and thus be accused...not only because he didn't commit the crime, but because he is a Soviet spy.
The man who ends up being blamed for the killing (the politician's aide) was not actually guilty of that (or of being a mole), but had committed multiple illegal acts in the course of the coverup, including at least one actual murder, and is the primary villain of the movie.

Criminal Minds: The title of the episode "The Witness" refers to a man who saw Charlie Senarak commit a crime and is blackmailing him over it. While it seems like Charlie is responsible for the gas attack on his wife's bus after finding out about her affair, it turns out that he'd actually killed his wife's lover the night before. The blackmailer and the lover were responsible for the gas attack, and with his accomplice dead, he decided to turn Charlie into his patsy, knowing that he'd still be culpable for the murder even if he tried to turn evidence against the blackmailer.

Battlestar Galactica
In the pilot mini-series, Gaius Baltar, desperate to get any hint of involvement in the Cylon Attack off himself, randomly picks someone who had access to the bridge (Aaron Doral, the PR guy) as being a Cylon. Guess what?
Later in the first season, Cylon agent Shelly Godfrey gives the Fleet doctored photos of Baltar destroying the Colonial defense mainframe, thereby facilitating the genocide of mankind. After the frame-up is discovered, Baltar's actual and unintended role in providing the Cylons covert access to the defense network remains unknown until late in the third season. And even then, no one can prove it, so very few people know about it in the first place (they find other things he has done to go after him for). No one actually has hard, non-drug-vision-based evidence of his wrongdoing until he confesses to Laura Roslin halfway through the final season.
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 no one else knows that, and 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.

Leverage: Redemption: The villain of first two episodes is Fletcher Maxwell, the CEO of a drug company who sold addictive opioids to people, resulting in at least one of them dying. Since Maxwell gets cleared of any legal wrongdoing, the team decide to frame him for insurance theft. They accomplish this by breaking into eight museums, stealing a painting he has donated from each of them and swapping them out with fakes. They have Harry burn one of the paintings to make it look like Maxwell was trying to pull off an insurance scam, which the museum curator easily believes given Maxwell is already accused of essentially selling poison to people.

Unfortunately, the Count was watching the whole thing, and after giving Valentine a drug to fake her death, replaces the poison in the glass. When Valentine's death is discovered the next morning, the doctor is called, the murderer comes in to see what all the fuss is about... and is unpleasantly shocked to see the doctor (who had his suspicions about the many deaths in Valentine's family lately) examining the glass for traces of poison, which he quickly finds.

In the fan-made case Two Sides of the Same Turnabout, Helene gets trapped in the crime scene at the time of murder due to chloroform being used on her to knock her unconscious. Helene proves in court that she was drugged, claiming that she was framed up, but the prosecutor is having none of it: he says that Helene used the drug on herself to make it look like someone else framed her up. It's eventually proven that Helene was right.

Star Wars Legends:
As part of a Wraith plan to expose the corrupt General Thaal in X-Wing: Mercy Kill, one member is disguised as the general and kidnaps an actress, with some independent investigators arranged to find her a day later. However, the framing is thin enough that they don't really expect it to stick. The actual motive was twofold; first, the general really was planning on kidnapping the actress, so a fake kidnapping saves her from being in real danger. More importantly, news of this whole event will draw lots of media attention, so when the Wraiths expose Thaal's very real crimes, he won't be able to sweep it under the rug.
The squadron's master plan involves another variation on this; they've discovered that Thaal has plans for a complex procedure involving genetic modification to create a new identity, which he and his compatriots should undergo once they're ready to transition into a criminal empire. However, the Wraiths figure out that Thaal has already undergone the procedure some time ago, and is merely in disguise as his normal self, able to disappear at a moment's notice if something ever goes wrong before they're ready. They turn his plan around on him by luring him to a place with lots of witnesses and then have an accomplice "discover" his disguise, convincing everyone that Thaal is actually an imposter who pulled a Kill and Replace on the "real" general.

In season 4 of Breaking Bad, Walt gives Jesse a rare poison known as Ricin in hopes that he will use it to kill Gus Fring. When it later appears that Jesse's girlfriend's son has been poisoned with the Ricin, Jesse immediately assumes Walt is responsible due to nobody else knowing about it. However, Walt points out to him that he has nothing to gain by poisoning the boy. He then reasons that since the only thing keeping Gus from killing Walt is that Jesse refuses to cook meth for him if he does, Gus must have somehow found out about the Ricin and poisoned Brock with it in hopes of turning Jesse and Walt against each other. This convinces Jesse to side with Walt again, but the final scene of the season reveals Walt was responsible for poisoning Brock after all (albeit with a "lesser" poison — Lily of the Valley).

Tamriel Rebuilt: The quest Belated Justice features a somewhat twisty example of this if you push for a guilty sentence: the evidence you present to finally tip the scale to guilty is accurate (it doesn't actually say anything about the crimes themselves, but are important since they provide motives), but in the course of acquiring it you would have learned information that comes close to confirming the alibi (that a Daedric doppelganger committed the crimes, something that is known to have happened with other people at the time — the person was seen in two places at the same time during the critical evening). The twist that places it in this category? The person imprisoned is the Daedric doppelganger, who somewhere along the way forgot that they weren't the real article, something you do not learn unless you get him executed.

Merlin: In "The Witchfinder", the title character Aredian is summoned to conduct a Witch Hunt after a citizen of Camelot reports someone conjuring a horse made of smoke in a forest outside the kingdom, as the use of magic in Camelot is punishable by death. It later transpires that Aredian operates by framing the innocent, forcing False Confessions out of them and pocketing the money after they die. In the course of the story, he tries to frame Gaius, Merlin and Morgana for magic use without knowing that they actually are magic users, and almost succeeds with Gaius until his scheme is exposed.

Burn Notice: In "Wanted Man", the team plans to get a crooked real estate developer caught with a diamond brooch he stole to shore up his investments and clear the name of their client. After Plan A falls through, they figure out which bank he's going to take the brooch to for storage, and then set things up to look like he's trying to rob the bank. The police find the brooch when he's arrested for the robbery and their client is exonerated.

Mission: Impossible: The episode "The Mind of Stefan Miklos" had a two-for-one variation: the Americans have been using a foreign mole in their intelligence service (Townsend) by feeding him bad information that he unwittingly passes on, but another spy (Simpson) in the ring is a rival and discovers proof that the information is bad, accusing Townsend of being a double agent for the Americans. The investigator, Miklos, who the foreign intelligence service is sending to ferret out the truth, is believed to be far too competent to fall for an attempt to frame Simpson, so instead the team frames Townsend, depending on Miklos to see through their con, and come to the conclusion that the only reason the Americans would frame him would be to discredit the information he had passed on and have Townsend's own people eliminate him. As a bonus, the failed frame-up implicates Simpson as having been involved, leading to a Category 1 variation, since Miklos concludes that he must be a double agent and was assisting the Americans in the attempted frame.

The Thinking Machine: The 'frame yourself' version is done by the murderer in "The Fatal Cipher". The killer plants a lot of false evidence to implicate themselves, relying on Van Dusen to discover that this evidence is fake, and then find the second set of false evidence they planted to implicate their chosen patsy. The entire scheme ends up verging into Complexity Addiction.

Averted in Justified: Raylan finds a witness to one of Boyd's crimes (who had previously refused to give evidence) and intimidates him into testifying, but stops cold when the witness asks for a picture so he knows who he's supposed to implicate. Turns out he didn't give a vague description because he was scared; he genuinely didn't get a good look. When he offers to commit perjury to help Raylan put Boyd back in jail, Raylan immediately turns him down.

In Downton Abbey, footman Thomas Barrow takes a disliking to the recently hired Nanny West for being unkind to him and lies about seeing her neglecting her duties. When Lady Grantham checks in on her, she discovers the nanny has in fact been abusing one of the children under her care. Lady Grantham gives all credit to Barrow for uncovering the nanny's abuse.
