"In 2003, Lee dismissed the kidnapping and murder charges against Jay E. Lentz, a former naval intelligence officer, even though a jury had found him guilty.

In a 2011 free-speech case, Judge Lee ruled in a "summary judgment for the government that a former CIA officer had violated his agreement with the Agency by failing to obtain pre-publication approval for his book."
