From the Paper:

"DNA evidence was submitted in three criminal cases in Australia. It was challenged in two of those cases but it was found that the DNA evidence was admissible. However, there have been cases where DNA wasn't admissible, as it was found not having being treated with care. The evidence had not been handled carefully due to sloppy work. In another case, the investigator had accidentally sneezed over the evidence, which made it hard for the forensics department to track the culprit."
