This is particularly distressing. A ballistics expert killed himself after evidence came up that he lied about degrees that he never earned. This could put thousands of criminal cases up in the air. While there will be cases that this guy was involved in where it won’t matter much, there’s bound to be cases where ballistics evidence played a crucial role in convicting someone of serious crimes.
There theoretically could be innocent people in jail or with criminal records that don’t deservedly have it. You can expect defense attorneys to have a field day with this one.
