You won’t do this as most people won’t but go back and actually read his testimony.
On most of the defenses claims he argued with the defense, on factual matters concerning incredibly bad standards for evidence collection and lab procedures, was he supposed to perjure himself?
I flat out told him I would not have taken the case for any amount of money and he brought up two points with me.
1. Hindsight is 20/20, he didn’t think any jury would find him innocent just that there was probable cause on the issue raised above.
2. He testified truthfully which is the obligation of any expert witness in any case and can get you thrown in jail if you do not. His testimony on way too many key points validated what Dr. Badin said to the point the defense was so furious with him threats were made, Lee wouldn’t say more on that point.
Being in the “bizz” myself, I can see both sides of the issue. I also know the LAPD’s procedures at the time were not up to the the most basic set of standards.
While you won’t believe this either, in the end Dr. Lee didn’t get OJ off, it was the jury. A jury that if shown a tape of OJ practically decapitating Nicole would still have found the scumbag innocent.
He didn't? With an almost all black jury?
Even if he didn't have common sense, the probability of conviction versus acquittal was 50%. Moreover, it lends more credence to what I said about him playing god by deliberately manipulating his testimony (as you yourself stated!) to prove a point with the LAPD.
For that alone, he should be in jail himself.
He testified truthfully which is the obligation of any expert witness in any case and can get you thrown in jail if you do not.
That contradicts what you posted earlier.
Sounds like you are back peddling.
Yes - it was jury nullification.
But your buddy Lee doesn't get off that easy.
You said this:
Dr. Lee wanted to expose the LAPD procedures in an attempt to change them.
And this....
when Lee was asked by the defense to refute the prosecutions evidence, Lee asked for a much higher fee then he would normally charge 10 times more IIFC. He flat out told the defense that OJ was guilty, but because of mistakes made at the scene during collection and at the LA lab, he could bring in reasonable doubt.
I believe you. Lee wasn't walking dangerously close to the edge - he jumped off the cliff.
Both you and I know he had the potential to alter the outcome, not matter how wacky that jury was. You yourself said hindsight is 20/20.
How dare he play games while the trial was going on.
Some friend you got there.
