A Florida man accused of murder has an interesting defence that a renowned pathologist is backing.
Richard Henry Patterson, 65, of Margate, wants permission from a judge to show his penis to a jury so they will believe his claim that Francisca Marquinez, 60, choked to death while performing oral sex, the Sun Sentinel reports.
Patterson's attorney claims former Broward County medical examiner, Dr Ronald Wright, will testify that Marquinez's death is consistent with being "accidentally sexually asphyxiated during oral sex".
"It is material and relevant," attorney Ken Padowitz wrote in a motion to the court. "The view by the jury is essential for them to fully understand Dr Wright's testimony and the defence in this case."
