Big Plans for Simpson Forensic Scientist Lee
The renowned forensic scientist who gave key testimony for O.J. Simpson in the criminal trial is establishing an institute at the University of New Haven.
Henry Lee, 59, said he’ll retire as director of the Connecticut State Police Forensic Science Laboratory in about 2 1/2 years. He’s seeking donations for the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science and is trying to raise a $1-million endowment for a scholarship fund.
Among other things, the institute will help people who can’t afford to hire a forensic scientist, and allow visiting scientists to conduct research.
