SLAY RAP FOR DAD’S ‘MAIMER’

The Queens woman accused of strangling her father and then cutting off his penis was charged with murder last night.

Brigitte Harris, 26, had been in a Staten Island psych ward since she was taken into custody for the July 28 slaying of Eric Goodridge inside her Far Rockaway apartment.

She was brought to Queens Criminal Court and held without bail at her arraignment.

Her lawyer, Arthur Aidala, had argued that his client had been sexually abused as a child by Goodridge and is emotionally scarred.

“She is extremely suicidal. She cannot be placed in general [jail] population,” he said, but the judge disagreed.

Harris’ unkempt, multi-colored hair covered her face as she entered the courthouse. Asked if she had anything to say to other incest victims, she said, “No, nothing.”

She kept her head down throughout the hearing.

Judge Robert Raciti ordered additional psychological testing for Harris.
