The question here is not whether they were contracted to do the pen test, I think everyone agrees they were. The question is whether those who contracted them had the authority to authorize it.
If someone from craigslist give me a contract to break into a house to test their security system, but it turns out the owner of the house did not know about the contract, who is at fault for the break-in?
I do think that Coalfire acted in good faith here, but it is a complicated situation.

No, the question is whether the prosecutor believes beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accused had the requisite intent to be committing burglary. If not, the they have an ethical obligation to drop the prosecution.
