When data isn’t correct and the aftermath

In my forensics class, the professor talked about how a forensics expert solved cases to put the murderers away but later found he was incorrect. So the people sent to jail were freed. This can damage the reputation and trust of anyone in the field and relates to cyber security because we want to make sure our facts and data line up before we give a solution or data to accuse someone of an activity that either cause a system failure or intrusion.
