I work with a woman who was trained in forensics by Dr. Henry Lee. She’s had numerous conversations with him about the case.
One part I found hilarious and disturbing at the same time: 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.
He took every cent he made from OJ and put it into teaching forensics. Lee is one of the best teaching proper procedures for collection of evidence at a scene.
OJ’s money, has gone to making sure CSI’s will not make the mistakes they made during OJ so other murders would walk free. Yes, he told that to OJ’s council.
She’s told me other things she learned from Lee, but I promised her I’d keep it in strict confidence.
Five years ago, I went to a seminar hosted by Dr. Lee where he touched on collection of evidence but the main topic was chain of custody from the arriving officer, the scene, the detectives, the prosecution, defense and within labs. He teaches triple sampling of evidence techniques to ensure proper lab results. And is methodical in his process storage of biological materials to prevent decay for use in cold cases, appeals etc.
He mentioned the OJ trial many times when showing us how NOT to do something.
He did say at dinner Saturday night to a group of us that the OJ’s verdict was set in stone months before the case ended and many were assigned to see the specific outcome was reached. He would not elaborate further. I have drawn my own conclusions from the hints he gave but I don’t think the entire truth about that case will ever come out.
Good for Dr. Lee! He seems genuine.
Only some people know what happened in the OJ case. I, of course, am not one of them. In fact, I never watched it. I just knew LEO’s that were involved in it.
I hope he chokes on his 30 pieces of silver - an no amount of justification of what he did will ever make it right.
The original O.J. verdict was set in stone the day the case was moved and OJ had a group of Marxist/Obama Voters/Race Obsessed/Kook Aid jurors to decide the case. Everything else was just a show.
