The money can always be "given" back, but that is not really what you are asking. Generally, settlement agreements waive and release the parties from future claims and future discoveries regarding facts. As such, unless the settlement agreement says differently, there will normally not be any obligation to undo the settlement agreement after new facts are discovered or confirmed. Also, in civil litigation, there is no "innocent" or "guilty" - only liable and not liable.
