Defense attorney Ken Padowitz told the jury that the woman’s death was undetermined.
Before the trial, Patterson’s lawyers filed a motion to allow the jury to see his penis to prove the “rough sex” argument. The motion was denied.
Peter Sapak, assistant state attorney, questioned why Patterson hadn’t called 911 after Marquinez died.

“Your dad did something really bad last night,” Sapak read, according to the TV station. “I’m so, so sorry.”
Marquinez’s son, Omar Andrade, 41, earlier described Patterson as a “desperate man trying to avoid being convicted for the crime.”
Marquinez was found dead in her home at Margate’s Royal Palm Garden community on Oct. 28, 2015.
