autopsy-bin is a better package name for a package built from binaries.
In that case, please kindly revise the AUR submission guidelines, because currently it explicitly mentions Java as an exception to the '-bin' name suffix requirement.

@yan12125, why did you reject the deletion request for this duplicate?
AUR/autopsy also uses the precompiled Java bytecode as source.
So the two packages are truly duplicates, the only difference is that autopsy-bin is 1 year older and flagged OOD for that period.

This is a java application so the suffix '-bin' is not necessary anyway.
Java packages can be either built from sources or binaries as well.
autopsy-bin is a better package name for a package built from binaries. Therefore, orphaning and updating autospy-bin is better than deleting autospy-bin. After that, autospy can be merged into autospy-bin in case it is not changed to be built from sources.
Best,
