PLANTATION, Florida — His defense is a little hard to swallow.

A man who admitted killing his girlfriend is claiming she died by choking on his oversized penis while performing oral sex and he asking a judge to allow him to show his member to the jury so they can see for themselves.

Richard Henry Patterson, 65, was arrested for the death of his gal pal Francisca Marquinez, 60, on Oct. 28, 2015. He never denied being responsible for her death, but never publicly claimed it was the result of sexcapades gone bad.

The medical examiner never conclusively determined Marquinez’s cause of death.

In making the request to Judge Michael Ian Rothschild in Broward Circuit Court, Patterson’s lawyer said it was a variation on the “rough sex” defense that has been used elsewhere, and that he planned to call expert witnesses to explain the mechanics of such a death.

The judge has yet to rule on the motion, but if it is approved, Patterson lawyer proposed his disrobing tale place in chambers, with only the judge, a bailiff, the jury and the defendant in the room.

Marquinez’s son, Omar Andrade, called the ploy disgusting.

“It’s a desperate man trying a desperate tactic,” Andrade told the Sun Sentinel newspaper. “He’s just trying to get off the hook.”

Patterson’s lawyer, Ken Padowitz, argued that the prosecution case hinged largely on a text message that Patterson sent to his daughter stating: “I choked her. I choked Francisca.”

“He said he choked her,” Padowitz said. “He never said he strangled her.”

In 2011, a British man, Philip Martins, attempted the same defense in a murder case and was convicted. He’s now serving a life sentence.

PANAMA CITY, Florida — A former Florida seafood market employee has been convicted of fatally stabbing a co-worker with a sword during an argument over how much spice to add to a pot of gumbo.

Orlando Ricardo Thompson, 27, was found guilty in the 2015 stabbing death of Caleb Joshua Halley at Buddy’s Seafood Market in Panama City Beach. Thompson faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced on May 4.

Halley, 33, had portrayed Florida State University’s football mascot, Chief Osceola, from 2004 until 2007. The two men had once been roommates.

The fatal fight broke out on June 23, 2015, when Halley confronted Thompson about the amount of spice he was adding to a pot of gumbo.

Video surveillance footage entered as evidence showed the  two men challenge each other with weapons, Thompson with a 2×4 board and Halley with a pocket knife, the Panama City News Herald reported.

Tempers settled down and the two men separated and put their weapons down, but Thompson then ran to a closet where he grabbed a foot-long sword. Halley then picked up a mop handle and the two men swung at each other several times.

The fight ended when Thompson delivered a deep slash wound to Halley’s torso that left his intestines exposed.  Halley died at a hospital two day later.
