Dr. Henry C Lee, a top forensic scientist who testified in OJ Simpson, JonBenét Ramsey and Phil Spector's cases, made a deathbed confession to clear his name. Despite allegations of fabricating evidence and testing, Lee was known for his work in blood spatter analysis and crime scene reconstruction. He rose to prominence during the 1994 trial of Simpson, where he claimed he had found previously undiscovered bloody footprints at the crime scene and Simpson was being framed for the double murder of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
