agencies in helping to solve more than 8,000 cases. Dr. Lee’s
testimony figured prominently in the O. J. Simpson, Jason Williams,
Peterson, and Kennedy Smith Trials; and in convictions of the
“Woodchipper” murderer. He has assisted local and state police in their
investigations of other famous crimes, such as the murder of Jon Benet
Ramsey, the 1993 suicide of White House Counsel Vincent Foster, the
death of Chandra Levy, the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, and the
reinvestigation of the Kennedy assassination.
It is a great honor for Ave Maria School of Law to host Dr. Lee, who is a
