Bullet in the Head

BBC News - 22/12/2006

A search warrant has been issued in the US for a potentially vital clue to a violent crime - a bullet lodged in a teenager’s head.

Texan prosecutors want the bullet, embedded under the skin in 17-year-old Joshua Bush’s forehead, to be removed.

They say it could help convict Mr Bush of the attempted murder of a used-car salesman in a row following a robbery.

The case has raised privacy concerns, with Mr Bush’s lawyers fighting to have the bullet remain in his head.
