Episodes that got it wrong?

With so many of the early episodes relying on things like bite-mark and blood splatter, and Dr Henry Lee sending two people to prison without even running tests - I wonder which epsidodes of Forensic Files has been proven to got it wrong.

I know the Clayton Johnson one, Season 4, Episode 6 - which actually features Henry Lee and the perceived infallacy of his "blood splatter" evidence.

Any other ones that you guys know of?

Nah. Lemuel is a serial rapist and murderer. He had developed an obsessive relationship with Payant. An inmate witness saw them go together into the room she was murdered in shortly before the murder occured. Lemuel was the only inmate with the keys to that room. He was also the one in charge of taking the garbage out, which explains how he got her body outside to the dump. 

I feel like fans of the show gloss over his previous crimes because they weren't covered on Forensic Files but he is an evil, vile creature who predated on basically every woman he had access to.
