b'Convicted in 1989 of the brutal murder of 65-year-old Everett Carr in New Milford, Connecticut, Ricky Birch and Shawn Henning were sentenced to 50 years behind bars without any physical evidence tying them to the crime scene. At trial, prosecutors had to explain to a jury how the two men, then only in their teens, managed to beat and stab their victim over 25 times without getting a single drop of his blood onto their clothing. To do so, the district attorney\\u2019s office relied on the testimony of the state\\u2019s top pathologist ..a man very well known to true crime content enthusiasts. A man by the name of Dr. Henry Lee. Today, Dr. Lee is considered one of the country\\u2019s foremost experts on forensic science.\\n\\nBirch and Henning spent decades in prison substantially based on Dr. Henry Lee\\u2019s testimony at their trial. More than 30 years after they were convicted, new information came to light and eventually led to their convictions being vacated in 2020. Subsequent to that, Dr. Henry Lee\\u2019s reputation would come under intense scrutiny and he found himself in legal trouble.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nThe question now rests in the court of public opinion: Did Dr. Henry Lee make a devastating error on the witness stand? Or, did a man who\\u2019s investigated some of the country\\u2019s most prominent crimes of the last three decades lie to obtain a conviction?\\n\\nFollow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!\\n\\nSubscribe to Jami\\u2019s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair\\n\\nSponsors\\nBlissy: Visit Blissy.com/MURDERISH and use code MURDERISH for an additional 30% off.\\nShopify: Visit Shopify.com/murderish (all lowercase) to take your retail business to the next level.\\n\\nLipstick & Lies - Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lipstick-lies/id1704189120?i=1000625570159\\n\\nDirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime - Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-money-moves-women-in-white-collar-crime/id1619521092.\\n\\nWant to advertise on this show?
