Texas Police want bullet lodged in teenager's head

An extraordinary legal battle is taking place in the United States over a bullet lodged in the forehead of a Texas teenager.
Prosecutors say the 9mm bullet is proof that 17-year-old Joshua Bush was involved in the attempted murder of a second-hand car salesman in Port Arthur and that it should be removed so that it can be presented as evidence in court.
But the teenager's lawyer argues that ordering such an operation would be an invasion of his client's privacy and that - for the time being at least - the bullet should stay where it is.
The bullet is located two inches above Joshua's eyes, where small pieces of bone are growing around it.
The first doctor asked to remove the bullet said it would require the teenager, who is being held in custody on unrelated charges, to be fully anaesthetised. Police obtained two search warrants to have the bullet removed. However, doctors are now concerned about the implications of participating in the operation.
Last week a second operation to remove the slug was postponed after the Texas Medical Branch hospital in Galveston decided not to carry out the procedure for reasons it would reportedly not discuss.
"I have said all along this is an invasion of his privacy," Rife Kimler, Joshua's lawyer, said yesterday. "There is nothing unusual about someone being shot Port Arthur. There are shoot-outs in Port Arthur all the time. What is unusual is that a bullet is lodged in someone's forehead.
"Things being equal he'd like to have the bullet taken out but he does not want the police to get it. It's not life-threatening. Let him get it out when he wants to."
Police allege that Joshuawas involved in the robbery and attempted murder of the car dealer, Alan Olive, in July when he and others broke into a lot and tried to steal vehicles.
They say Joshua shot at Mr Olive, and that the car dealer then returned fire with his own weapon.
One of Mr Olive's bullets is believed to have lodged in the fatty tissue of Joshua's forehead.
The prosecutor, Ramon Rodriguez, said that when he was questioned, Joshua admitted taking part in the robbery but denied shooting at Mr Olive.
"The officers noticed the guy looks like hell," Mr Rodriguez told the Associated Press. "One of his eyes is black and he has a big old knot on his forehead. He tells police he got hurt playing basketball... Officers started putting events together."
Seth Chandler, a professor at the University of Houston Law Centre, said: "It's unfortunate this arguably important piece of evidence is in a place where it can't be easily retrieved. You have to balance our desire to convict the guilty against the government not poking around our bodies on a supposition."
But Joshua's mother, Tammie Bush, has insisted her son is innocent, believing instead her son's story of how he was shot in the head through an open window while sleeping at a friend's house.

Friends, what the HELL is going on here? I thought Texas was supposed to be a Godly state, what are things coming to when darkies can cheat justice by hiding vital evidence in their skulls? Have the liberals really ruined America that badly?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

I just don't understand why only one bullet was used?
I keep a loaded .45 in my Kitchen drawer ready for them Pie Stealers to come along and usually empty out a full Magazine.
Hell, just shooting him in the head? you'd have missed his Brain by a full 2 feet!
