I wonder if defense attorneys reading this case will breath a sigh of relief. After all, had this gone the other way, there would've been a case holding that a defense attorney's representation falls below prevailing professional norms for failing to measure a client's penis upon request.

I've heard of certain sleazy defense lawyers asking their clients to perform that type of "measurement" in exchange for legal services rendered, but never the other way around.

This certainly gives new meaning to the term "factual insufficiency".

I had a defendant claim one time that he was too big to have committed the crime (forward your queries to him care of TDC for more details), but never one claiming a lack of corpus delicti.

Back in my misdemeanor days, the court coordinator for my judge kept suggesting I ask the trial court to forfeit the weapon in these kinds of cases.

I'll bet he'd be happy to hear it referred to as a weapon.
