A judge upheld third-degree murder charges during a preliminary hearing today against Padge Windslowe, 40.
The ruling comes after a friend of the dancer testified today that she and 20-year-old Claudia Aderotimi came to Philadelphia last year and had their buttocks enlarged.
Windslowe's defense attorney argued that both girls knew his client was not a real doctor as they had visited her for the injections before.
Theresa Gyamfi said the 'Black Madam' gave them silicone injections in their hotel room — but then fled when Aderotimi went into respiratory distress.
A doctor testified that the industrial-grade, not medical grade, silicone went to Aderotimi's blood, liver, lungs and brain.
She was rushed to a Delaware County hospital in an ambulance, but died within hours of a pulmonary embolism, according to the doctor.
But defense lawyer Christopher Mannix said he will challenge those medical conclusions at trial, along with allegations his client performed the injections.
The Philadelphia Inquirer said that prosecutors told the court she painted herself out to be a medical professional when she administered a series of injections to the two women. This was the second time the woman went to Windslowe, paying $1,800 to $2,300 a time to have their butts enlarged.
Dead 'Claudia Aderotimi' believed a 'bigger booty' would help her to appear in more music videos, according to her distraught friends.
