Two members of the O.J. Simpson defense team from 1994 were reunited yesterday, as famed trial lawyer F. Lee Bailey and forensic scientist Henry C. Lee addressed a conference of private investigators.
The two men have participated in some of the country’s most sensational trials and cases, from Mr. Bailey’s work in the Boston Strangler and heiress Patricia Hearst cases to Mr. Lee’s investigations into the murders of JonBenet Ramsey and Chandra Levy, the suicide of White House Counsel Vincent Foster, and the reinvestigation of the Kennedy assassination.
For anyone who has heard or read the views of Mr. Bailey, it should come as no surprise that he was critical of law enforcement and the continued use of the death penalty during his 50-minute talk.
“The biggest flaw in the judicial system in the United States has been and continues to be the reliability of the fact-finding process,” he said. The majority of facts in criminal cases are collected by law enforcement officers.
