tense The trial's centerpiece today was Dr. Henry Lee's testimony as the defense's forensic science expert. After preliminary evidentiary disputes about a coroner's deposition, Lee was qualified and walked the jury through forensic methodology before applying it to crime scene photographs from Bundy Drive. Lee identified blood patterns, a parallel-line shoe imprint inconsistent with Bruno Magli shoes, and potential evidence-handling problems, though cross-examination established significant limitations to his analysis.
