Joshua Bush, 18, points to the bullet that remains in his skull at his home in Port Arthur on Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2007. Police officials want to have the bullet removed while Bush wants control over how and when it's removed. Police claim the slug is evidence of criminal activity. Bush claims another person shot him with a different calibre handgun than the police seek.

Those are good, like the way you framed them.

I agree, his head is not his property and I too would would want to choose the surgeon and would be concerned they'd switch the bullet.

Still I wonder what really happened and if we will ever know.

The police have only gotten search warrants. There has been no hearing about it. They do plan to put him on trial for something else.
