Whether Mephiles was lieing at that time to gain Shadow's trust or not, is unknown. But you can see the cutscene just before Mephiles phase 1 boss, and the cutscene after Shadow's Wave Ocean for more details.

However, even if this is true. The whole timeline rebooted after Solaris' destruction. So, this is no longer canon. It could be possible Shadow was accused as the murderer of Sonic due to his physical similarities with Mephiles. Well, as I can draw from official materials, Sonic was killed at the time Iblis got released after the Egg Carrier's crushing accident, which killed Princess Elise and Eggman in the progress. How Sonic is killed, is unknown. All of this, lead to Silver's future (2006). Iblis got released after Mephiles killed Sonic himself.

Since Mephiles has the apperance of Shadow, it could be a factor to Shadows accusations.

Well, Mephiles just made a paradox actually. Meaning that everything he has done to release Iblis, did not happen in the time before Silver is born. In other words, Iblis got released by other way in a time Mephiles did not appear in. Mephiles just changed the destiny to create Solaris. Changed the bad future to worse, or non-existence.
