Default F. Lee Bailey

Dan ~

I recall reading about a similar tactic used by the infamous F. Lee Bailey during one of his "earlier" trials.

It seemed a young lady was identifing the defendant in a murder case by the "signature" cologne he wore during the crime.

So good ol' F. Lee set out to test the theory of whetehr she could discern different odors in court. He lined up a number of vials filled with cologne and a few other "common" household odors.

Strategically F. Lee had given her a vial of gasoline to sniff after she had answered the cinnamon, vanilla, a lady's cologne perfectly.

The gasoline, much like tasting the bad water first, impaired her senses...

Lo and behold! She couldn't differentiate between the following vials of men's cologne setting the defendant free!

Verdict, Not guilty!

Sales and Marketing are everywhere if you just take the time to look.

Success and Regards... Mike
