- “BULLET FIRED THROUGH A PILLOW AND HIT THE BOTTOM PLATE OF A STEEL DRUM.” NOTICE THE SLIGHT DEFORMITY OR THE SHAPE OF THE SLUG AS IT SNUGGLY FIT ON THE DRUM BOTTOM STEEL PLATE.
- THIS WOULD SHOW THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE BULLET HOLE FOUND IN ENS. PESTANO’S ROOM AND THE ALLEGED SLUG THAT WENT THROUGH HIS HEAD AND SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND IN THE ROOM.
This bullet slug was a result of an experiment conducted by forensic doctors and two (2) ballisticians. The slug was fired at a steel drum about 1/8″ thick using a gun that was fired through a pillow.
The bullet slug recovered with strong similarities with that bullet mark and slug found on the floor at Phillip’s feet.
The actual alleged slug recovered from the scene appears to have been fired also from a pillow which in a previous photograph, a fiber like matter was still attached to. This would only confirm that the slug found in Phillip’s cabin was never fired into Phillip’s head.
In this regard, the bullet followed a normal trajectory from the muzzle of the gun, deflected upon hitting the pillow and causing the bullet to tumble in flight. It finally hit the target sideways as shown above.
Thus, the bullet mark and slug were again part of the fabricated evidence to show proof that Phillip committed suicide.
