Experts Pore Over Evidence In O.J. Case For A Third Day

In a scientific marathon, experts working for O.J. Simpson pored over boxfuls of evidence for a third day Monday, including the glove found near his ex-wife’s body and the glove found on his estate.

They’re not looking to get Simpson off, they say - just looking for the facts.

“We just want to find out the scientific truths,” said Henry Lee, a Connecticut state police criminologist.

“Some of our evidence may be very helpful for the prosecution,” Lee said. “Some of our evidence may be very helpful for the defense.”

Still, state police were videotaping the handling of the evidence at the request of prosecutors in Los Angeles.

Others on the defense panel are Dr. Michael Baden, forensic pathologist for the New York State Police; Dr. Barbara Wolf, director of anatomic pathology at Albany Medical College; and Chuck Morton, director of the Institute of Forensic Sciences in Oakland, Calif.

Testing began Saturday at Albany Medical Center and has continued for about 18 hours a day since then, Baden said.

The experts planned to keep on working today, although some of the items are due back when court resumes today.

The experts would not specify what tests they’re doing or talk much about what evidence they’re working on. Lee and Baden did acknowledge that the evidence includes a glove.
