A Texas judge will decide who should have the original casket that Lee Harvey Oswald was buried in after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
WFAA-TV reports testimony in the case continued Tuesday in Fort Worth. Oswald's brother filed a lawsuit against Baumgardner Funeral Home, which tried to sell the coffin at auction for $87,000 in 2010.
Robert Edward Lee Oswald says he thought the damaged pine box had been destroyed after his brother's body was exhumed from a Fort Worth cemetery in 1981 amid conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's death. Another coffin was used for the reburial.
