* ''Fanfic/ABadWeekAtTheWizengamot'': after being put in jail, Umbridge was apparently murdered behind bars when she got too lippy with a witch who was much smarter and stronger (in other words, ''every'' witch in the prison) than her. No one was ever punished for her death because she had become so loathed by everyone inside the prison: the warden, the guards, all the other prisoners, and even the house-elves.

* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': Discussed and deconstructed InUniverse. As Cultura explains to [[AuthorAvatar Jade Shell]] in one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/900966875/4959379943 drabble]], she finds it an interesting trope because of the moral dilemma involved: It's very easy to dismiss a murder case and let the {{Sympathetic Murderer}}s go free because the victim is an AssholeVictim, but in many situations, obstructing a murder investigation based on petty grudges would only make you an AccompliceByInAction. In regards to the topic, hardline judicial factions believe in punishing both the killers and those who condoned them, while their moderate counterparts insist on giving mercy to those who didn't participate in the actual crime. In [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/900966875/4959381580 one incident]], a group of frustrated Poenans ''arrested an entire village'' because their collective grudge against the murder victim prevented them from finding the killer. While the adults were subjected to hard labor as punishment, their innocent children were spared and adopted by the Poenans, who trained them to become a new generation of crusaders, inquisitors, paladins, and judicators. The Just Detectives were appalled by the Poenans' ruthless handling of the situation.

* ''Literature/ChiefInspectorArmandGamache'' by Louise Penny: Cecilia de Poitiers, the victim of ''A Fatal Grace'', is self-obsessed, emotionally and verbally abusive to her husband and daughter, and universally loathed, including the man she's having an affair with. Possible motives are not hard to come by, which makes Gamache's search for the murderer that much harder.

*** In the following case we have Odie Asman, who's ill intentions and vile deeds are spelled out in his name. But for context sake, he was a criminal journalist who ruined the lives of several people, including the ones who schemed to kill him through blackmail. Enoch Drebber may have set up the murder but the one to actually kill him was the coroner herself.

* ''Fanfic/WeAreNothing'': When Freddy Krueger begins his killing spree at Hogwarts, the initial investigation is stymied by the fact that his first two victims were [[TheBully Draco Malfoy]] and [[SadistTeacher Severus Snape]], neither of whom had exactly endeared themselves to the majority of the student body. It's only after Seamus Finnigan (someone who was actually well-liked by his classmates) becomes the third victim that the Ministry of Magic starts a full-fledged investigation.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22255240/chapters/53142919 The Murder of Lila Rossi]]'': Given a bit of a twist; half the cast think that Lila was the sweetest girl they knew, a constant victim of unfair bullying. The other half knows that she was a lying snake who would do anything to get ahead. The cop involved initially looks into the second group as the obvious suspects, but then realizes that the first group could easily have done it if they discovered that Lila had been lying to them (and ruined their friendships) for years. In the end, it turns out to be one of Lila's old victims who happened to be in the city. When she realized that Lila was still lying and manipulating everyone, she snapped and killed her to end the cycle.
