Courtney Clenney’s Lawyers Show Knife-Throwing Video Involving Pig Carcass

Defense attorneys in Courtney Clenney’s murder case played a knife-throwing demonstration video involving a pig carcass Friday in Florida court to prove that the OnlyFans model acted in self-defense in the stabbing death of her boyfriend.

Clenney, 28, who appeared somber in court on Friday, has been behind bars in Miami for two years awaiting trial after she was arrested on second-degree murder charges in April 2022 for the death of Christian “Toby” Obumseli.

His testimony included an analysis of a video of a man throwing six knives at a pig carcass.

The first three knives pierced the dead animal’s skin with the fourth knife knocking one of them off. The fifth knife bounced off the carcass while the final knife stuck.

The knives were then removed from the carcass and placed with a tape measure to examine the inches of penetration.

Marraccini observed that one knife penetrated the carcass by five inches. Obumseli’s knife wound was about 3.25 inches deep Marraccini said.

The video also featured Marraccini sticking his fingers in the carcass and twisting a knife in it to ensure that the tissue was comparable to human tissue and to try to find the accessory mark.

“Now why is this important?” he asked the courtroom. “In this particular case, when you look at the wound as it goes to the muscle, fat,
