It's called justification. Trying to correct past deeds by entering in other factors can dilute the facts or, as we say, muddy the waters. The truth is there, no matter how one attempts to twist ti to their own satisfaction. I share with you a microfiction for the prompt "dilute the lies". The story is a ZAPFIC50 told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: 15 November 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2557: dilute the lies. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @daily.prompt's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
"Dilute the lies, you scum," Detective Lowery's knuckles reddened. "You stalked and murdered her."
"I didn't kill that woman.."
Months of searching uncovered nothing.
Five suspects eventually moved away.
Pressure mounted from his superiors and her family.
Obsessed, "Diluting the lies is useless. The truth remains," became his mantra.

«Diluye las mentiras, escoria», enrojecieron los nudillos del detective Lowery. «La acosaste y la asesinaste».
"Yo no maté a esa mujer.. »
Meses de búsqueda no descubrieron nada.
Cinco sospechosos finalmente se alejaron.
