Researchers seek Connally bullet fragments for testing

Private researchers urge Attorney General Reno to remove bullet fragments from the body of former Texas Governor John Connally. They argue fragments in his wrist and thigh could show Kennedy and Connally were struck by different bullets, challenging the lone gunman theory. Connally died of pulmonary fibrosis at 76 and was to be buried. The request, from James H. Lesar and Cyril Wecht, was sent to the Justice Department and referred to the Dallas field office of the FBI.
