The Margate man who was accused of killing his girlfriend and then asked to show the jury his penis as part of his defense was found not guilty Monday after a weeklong trial, according to news reports. Richard Patterson’s attorney, Kenneth Padowitz, argued that Francisca Marquinez, 60, accidentally died in 2015 when she gave his client oral sex inside her Margate apartment.

Padowitz filed a motion May 1 to allow his client to show his penis in court so the jury could see the body part in question. The judge didn’t rule on the motion and Patterson did not show it to the jury. During the trial, Dr. Ronald Wright, a former Broward County medical examiner, said Marquinez’s death could have been the result of choking during oral sex, Local 10 reported.
