Vincent Guinn HSCA Hearing
Vincent Perrie Guinn 1917—2002 Professor of Chemistry Irvine.
Vince was one of the early chemists to recognize the potential of NAA for forensic applications and his group at General Atomic worked hard to establish base-line information so that the technique could receive wide reception in court cases. In addition, he produced for the Atomic Energy Commission two short films on the application of NAA to crime investigation. Much later, he also “starred” in a British film that imagined a court trial for the assassination of President Kennedy of a surviving Lee Harvey Oswald.
