can we filter by cases with large part of the case resting on forensics? Then foreach such case see if we can double check the forensics evidence

Not without enough people willing to enter the related forensic science labor pools, to make a point.

Even after you’ve filtered for all the cases you could want, you’re probably going to end up with a large number. Rechecking all of the evidence in each case to either reaffirm or exonerate the people in prison because of that evidence is a labor intensive task.
