Missouri Supreme Court hears suit over bullet removal as search
The Missouri Supreme Court was told that forcing surgeons to remove a bullet from defendant Tommie Overstreet to use as evidence may violate the Fourth Amendment. Overstreet, accused in a Straight Way Iron and Metal Co robbery and murder case, contends the operation was excessive. A ballistics match and an eyewitness identification helped convict him, with him serving five years for robbery and life for murder.
