You can present the evidence to the company and ask them to reconsider their decision, but you don't have a legal claim unless the accusation of unethical conduct was simply a pretext for firing you in violation of one of the discrimination laws (i.e. firing because of your race, age over 40, sex, national origin, disability, etc., or because you objected to or threatened to report illegal conduct by the company).
Florida is an "employment at will" state, which means the employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all, unless they violate one of the laws described above. So short answer: it's not fair but it's legal.
