A WELL ENDOWED man who claimed his girlfriend choked to death during oral sex was found not guilty of second-degree murder yesterday.

Richard Patterson, 65, of Margate, Florida, was acquitted of killing 60-year-old girlfriend Francisca Marquinez in 2015 after a week-long trial, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Patterson's legal team say the size of his manhood is key to the defence's case.

During the trial, his lawyers initially argued that Marquinez died accidentally while performing oral sex on him at her apartment.

To bolster their defence, Patterson’s lawyers filed a motion to show his penis to the jury.

But after a medical expert testified that choking during the sex act was unlikely, the defe
The judge never ruled on the request to put Patterson’s member on display in court.

“That’s not the way she died,” defence lawyer Ken Padowitz said. “But that’s the way Richard Patterson thought she died.”

According to the autopsy, there was no signs of trauma and no bruises on her neck.

But a medical report showed that the body was in early stages of decomposition making some bruising more difficult to detect.

Padowitz previously said: “It is rare in a murder case that the medical examiner can’t say the manner of death is a homicide”.

At the time of the death, Patterson had told his daughter in a text message that he “did something bad”.

And he later allegedly told a friend “I choked her. I choked Francisca.”

But the lawyer pointed out: “He said he choked her. He never said he strangled her.”

The defence argued that there was no way of knowing how she died.

Medical examiners never determined the cause of death because Marquinez’s body was too decomposed.

“They still don’t know how she died,” said Padowitz, according to the Sun Sentinel.

The jury spent five hours deliberating before reaching a verdict.

If Patterson had been convicted, he would have faced life in prison.

The prosecution has to prove their case and obviously they didn't.

It's a funny story... but...
Why was the body too decomposed to determine the cause of death?
I guess he was too shook up to report it?
Bad case of blue balls maybe?
We will never know.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

This guy's wife had a stroke and had been unresponsive to therapy for several weeks. When asked if there was anything else they could try, the doc suggested that she might respond to oral sex.

A little while later the alarms went off and everyone rushed into her room.

"What happened", they asked.

"She must have choked", the guy said.

As to the original post - that was a very flaccid prosecution case!

I've heard of cases ending because of a hung jury, but never of a case ending because of a hung defendant.

If he had shown it, do you think it would have stood up in court?
