In the 20+ year history of computer crime prosecution, outside of this disputed case, what is the next most likely case where a hacker effectively framed another hacker who was then successfully prosecuted for the offense?

Other way around. I have heard people seriously claim that Shimomura framed Mitnick, though I won't speak to how likely that is.
