Lawyers for an OnlyFans model accused of killing her boyfriend presented footage of her throwing a knife at a pig carcass to support the case at Friday's bail hearing.
OnlyFans star Courtney Clenney has been charged with second-degree murder for killing her boyfriend Christian Obumuseli.
Crenny has claimed he acted in self-defense when he killed Ovenseli, who was stabbed to death in their Miami apartment in August 2022.
The adult content producer claimed he threw a knife at Obumuseli but did not intend to kill him.
To prove that Creny could have unintentionally thrown the knife and fatally injured Obumuseli, the OnlyFans model's defense showed a video of a knife-throwing expert throwing a knife at a pig carcass. Ta. Pig carcasses, they argued, were comparable to human flesh.
The prosecution immediately pointed out flaws in the statement.
In the video, the knife is thrown from 6 feet away. According to her recollection, Ms. Creny allegedly threw the knife 10 feet away from Obumuseli. Prosecutors also argued that the knife-thrower was much taller and larger than Creney, so he threw the knife with a different force and accuracy than Creney. CBS News.
Her defense believes this video most accurately shows what happened on the day of Obumuseli's death.
“This is a case where my client actually has credibility, her self-defense is credible, and the actions she took that night were necessary to save her own life,” attorney Frank Prieto said, according to the agency. We have shown the court that this is necessary.”
Crenny's lawyers brought in Dr. John Maraccini, a board-certified pathologist, as an expert witness to illustrate the similarities between pig and human anatomy. He explained to the court that pig skin and tissue function similarly to humans.
Maraccini also appeared in a video examining the pig's wounds, which he said were similar to those inflicted by Obumuseli.
However, a team representing the victims' families determined that the video demonstration lacked actual evidence.
“It defies common sense. There's no way you could throw a knife, and you can't have it go that deep in a downward position,” said attorney Larry Handfield.
The video presentation relied heavily on body camera footage from the day of the murder, which the defense used to plan the knife-throwing setup. Because the footage had not yet been introduced as evidence, the judge deferred a bail decision until it could be reviewed.
