Have you ever accused someone close to you for doing something they didn't?

We hear it on television shows like Law and Order that criminals are suspected for doing crimes that they did or did not commit.
I was accused of doing something horrible that I will not mention in detail. But I never did those things. I even had physical evidence that I didn't do the things I was accused of doing.
The accuser was so convinced that I had done it that they almost didn't want to accept the physical evidence. It was not a pretty scene at all needless to say. It took me a while to forgive this person, but I did and we were able to continue our relationship as a result of my forgiveness toward them.
So how about you? Have you ever accused someone close to you of doing something they didn't do? Did they have physical proof of the innocence? How did you feel? Did they trust you ever again?
Thanks for sharing your story.

I am the person that would always clear up things before making a case. I always want to gather evidence, concrete I should say, before doing anything because I don't want things to backfire to me and become a laughing doll in the end. Most of the time, I'm going to confront in the right and appropriate manner on the circumstances that happened.

Luckily I have never accused someone of doing something they didn't. The closest to this has been just suspicion and nothing more. I do not want to make haste judgments, especially if the person is close to me. I would rather talk about the issue with them and see if they have done it or not. I do not wish to hurt people for no reason whatsoever, like it happened to you, no matter how much I suspect in them. Everything can be solved with a conversation if both parties are willing to do that. Unfortunately, I have been accused of something that I didn't do. The good thing is that every time it has happened there were no consequences. Mostly just simple misunderstandings and making up 5 minutes later.

No, I have never been in a situation where I would have to accuse someone close to me when they were innocent. I think we all commit 'white-lies' but there is a limit to when we must take the blame for a wrong doing. I have had lengthy arguments with people close to me if I believed that my point of view or what I did was correct. You must stand up for yourself or the same thing will happen again!
