Florida Man murder suspect tries big-penis defense and it might work

A Florida man accused of murdering his girlfriend claims she accidentally choked to death while performing oral sex — and his unusual defense just might work, according to a renowned pathologist and former New York City medical examiner.

Richard Henry Patterson, 65, of Margate, now wants permission from a judge to bolster his argument by showing his penis to a jury to support his claim that Francisca Marquinez, 60, choked to death in her bedroom while performing oral sex on him on Oct. 28, 2015, the Sun Sentinel reports.

Patterson’s attorney claims in a motion filed on May 1 that an expert witness and former Broward County medical examiner, Dr. Ronald Wright, will testify that Marquinez’s death is consistent with being “accidentally sexually asphyxiated during oral sex,” according to the motion.

“It is material and relevant,” attorney Ken Padowitz wrote in the motion. “The view by the jury is essential for them to fully understand Dr. Wright’s testimony and the defense in this case.”

It would either be a gasp in amazement or a chuckle if things don't measure up.
