Original subtitles

I could have very easily said, I'm going to die, just leave here and die.

But I knew I couldn't panic.

I had to react instantaneously.

I woke up my friend and got to the hospital within 10 minutes.

I still lost almost half of my blood.

It was scary. It was a scary, scary night.

Hello, and welcome.

I'm Jesse L. Martin.

When a marriage goes terribly wrong, it often involves young people who started

out lovestruck and ended up fighting, even hating.

During the dark hours of June 23, 1993, while her husband John slept soundly by

her side, Lorena Bobbitt took a sharp knife to his manhood. It was a savage

slash that went way beyond the ordinary troubles between man and wife.

Shocked Americans everywhere were glued to the story. Men cringed. Women wanted

to know, was it something he did to make her snap?

Tonight, the case that went behind the closed doors and bloody ruins of John

and Lorena Bobbitt's marriage to litigate the facts of how it really

happened.

June 23, 1993, I was a police officer with Prince William County Police

Department.

It was a real slow night that night.

And honestly, you drive around and you get bored.

Then I remember that call came in well after 2 o'clock.

Hey, this is what we have.

This is what's going on.

We didn't know what we were getting into. We just knew that there was some

urgency.

The crime scene was the home of John Wayne Bobbitt and Lorena Bobbitt, a

young married couple living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manassas,

Virginia. Just went up there and just opened the door, announced myself,

started looking in and around.

I don't see anything particularly.

I go into the bedroom, and that's when I saw that pool of blood, a whole lot of

blood on the bed.

There was a blood trail all the way out of the apartment down the stairs into

the parking lot. I'm surprised he didn't bleed to death.

I took pictures of the bedroom and the bed, collected the sheets, noticed that

there was a knife missing out of the butcher block in the kitchen.

John Bobbitt was at the hospital with this very serious injury.

You can imagine the officers standing in the Bobbitt's empty home, wondering how

a marriage could have become this toxic.

One of the tragedies of this story is that the way that Lorena described it,

it started as a little bit of a fairy tale.

About an hour drive outside of Manassas was Quantico, Virginia, where

there's a Marine Corps training camp, and that's where John Bobbitt was based.

Lorena, she came here on a student visa.

It was from Venezuela that she immigrated. She had dreamed about

America and wanted to come to America.

And they met. She was about 20 and he was about 22.

They went on dates for ice cream and pizza.

Her being from Latin America and a conservative family, there would be a

chaperone that would be there with them.

Her relatives described it as love at first sight.

They were married within 10 months of having met one another.

It was only after they were married that the volatility of the relationship began

to emerge.

And there's when you start hearing about some of the darker side of the

relationship.

Lorraine was not perfect.

Lorraine's intensity was off the charts on jealousy.

A small little thing would set her off, and then she would just go on this

screaming rampage.

The problems would really start when he had been drinking.

There's a look in John's eyes that was very different.

The way Lorena described the deterioration of their relationship that

began with hitting and then escalated into much more egregious forms of

violence.

We did respond to the resident several times prior to this incident for various

complaints.

John Bobbitt was arrested for assault and battery in February of 1991.

According to the criminal complaint, they had an argument and he choked her

with his hand.

John Wayne Bobbitt entered a plea of guilty.

But Lorena wasn't the only one reporting abuse in this relationship.

John had called the police on occasions where there were altercations between

them, where he felt that she was being abusive and violent toward him.

She had attacked him and scratched him on his back and his face.

All of the back and forth about previous fights that they had had, how many times

the police were there, I could easily see this was a troubled relationship.

The question is, what happened on the night of June 23rd?

They were already separated and agreed to a divorce.

It wasn't working out.

But that night, she was staying in the apartment temporarily for a few days,

and then she was going to move in with somebody.

John and Lorena weren't the only ones in the apartment.

He had a childhood friend who was staying the night.

Robbie and John went out to dinner, had several drinks.

He had four or five beers and two B-52s.

He comes home drunk. He had his friend sleep on the sofa.

John goes and gets in bed with her.

And then allegedly goes in and forces himself on his wife who was sound

asleep.

Forcefully has sex with her.

Having been violated in a sexual way, there's a sense of shock, disbelief,

embarrassment, confusion.

I remember her telling me that she went to the kitchen to get a glass of water,

and she just made it sound very much as though she sort of sees a knife, and

this impulse seizes her, and into the bedroom she goes.

Lorena Bobbitt cut her husband's penis off.

I mean, that's a profound act.

You can't get much more personal than going down to somebody's province.

My wife said, I just kind of like... Caught her out in the corner of my eye

with peripheral vision. There was blood everywhere, all over the floor, the

walls.

She left.

She fled with the penis in one hand, the knife in the other, went into the other

room where John's childhood friend, Robbie, was asleep, and stole $100 out

of his wallet and his Game Boy.

The fact that she may have taken a Game Boy, hell, she wasn't thinking clearly.

She wasn't thinking rationally.

This woman...

literally cut her husband's penis off, drove off into the night.

She drove to her place of employment and dumped the knife into the trash can.

I don't hold her accountable.

John, according to Lorena, not only slapped her around, but he also raped

her. You don't take things into your own hands and castrate someone.

The doctors need to find his penis so that he has a chance to reattach it.

There's a window for success.

So we were working with time constraint.

I pulled my eyes and I couldn't feel it because I had to stay away.

The next thing I remember is she pulled on my groin area twice and

I felt a couple jerks. And then after that, she just cut it off.

Once he realized what had been done, his friend walked him down the stairs to the

parking lot and drove him to the hospital.

He came to the emergency room with kind of a towel wrapped around his hand, and

he was kind of holding it down in his crotch area, so everybody just assumed

he had done something with his hand.

And the male orally nurse moved his sheet back from John Wayne Bobbitt.

Yeah, I said, God damn.

It was shocking.

It was just a clot in his groin from where his penis should have been.

You'd like to walk away into another metaverse, if you could, when you see

something so horrifying.

He appeared to be somewhat in and out, but he said, you have to be careful who

you date.

At that time, I was told that the organ had been amputated and lost.

The doctor spoke to him and said, you know, if we get the penis, we'll try to

reattach him. If not, we'll do the best we can and we'll think about prosthesis

afterwards.

The call came from the hospital.

I heard a squad mate of mine, he said, I need somebody to go look for the

appendage. And I was just thinking, why is he saying appendage?

My squad mate was laughing in tears.

He said, hey, you've got to go look for somebody's penis.

Cops being cops have a very thick, dark sense of humor.

We do that as a protective mechanism, but you can imagine that was in high

gear.

The doctors need to find his penis so that he has a chance to reattach it.

As ridiculous as it might seem, you know, I've got to go look for this

appendix.

Well, I started the shift about 8 o'clock, maybe 10, 15 minutes later.

I saw on our cameras that a female was walking into our lobby.

And at that time, she just made a statement. I threw it out the window.

And I didn't put two and two together immediately.

And then that's when I threw his penis and his game system out the window.

And that's when I realized who it was.

And you could tell she was distraught.

She just had her head in her hand.

And then she said, I threw it out on Centerville Road.

We sent.

Some officers out to check the area.

She had thrown her husband's penis on the corner into a field that was near

their apartment complex.

Sergeant Hurley, he was the one that found it. Sergeant Hurley actually

stepped on it. That's how he located it. I think we were all shocked that they

actually found it.

Now I'm just at the hospital waiting for what's the next step.

There was an urgency to get it on ice and get it to where it had to be so they

could perform surgery on the victim.

It wasn't until we were on the way really to the operating room that I got

the word the organ was found.

It came to the OR and I had to wash it and put it in a Ziploc bag of ice and

had its own little separate table.

No one on John Wayne Bobbitt's medical team had ever attached a severed penis

before. Urologists typically aren't trained to do replantation surgery.

It would be a radical first-time surgery for everyone.

When you've got an amputated organ, there's a window for success.

It might be 10, 12, 17 hours.

So we were working with time constraints.

Ironically, the same hospital that John Bobbitt was getting surgery done to

reattach his penis, they did a rape kit on her.

They brought in Lorena Bobbitt.

and went past me, past the room where John Wayne was in.

Lorena was meeting with a detective to talk about what she was reporting as a

rape.

The surgeons were doing their thing, and we were all waiting to hear how that

went. There had been attempts over the past century to replant the amputated

penis. Not many of those cases went very well.

John's penis was severed very close to the body wall.

The cut was almost textbook.

I remember I had to wheel John up to the operating room, and I made a stop at the

library on the way to grab an anatomy text to have a look at where we were

going that morning and the roadmap.

So it was a challenge, but an exciting one.

We had two surgeons.

You needed a urologist to put the plumbing back together, but you really

needed to have a microvascular surgeon.

someone who would be able to put the blood vessels back together and the

nerves.

It was a nine-and-a-half-hour surgery.

When we took the tourniquet off in the recovery room, the penis brightened up

immediately. There was no leakage, so it was very apparent very quickly that we

were going to get a good success and did so.

In 1993, I was a reporter with the Manassas Journal-Messenger.

covering the police and court beats.

I would get to work at 7 in the morning and do my police call rounds to find out

what happened overnight.

This day was different.

The routine from the dispatcher was typically to say not much going on, but

in this case, there was almost a titter.

And they mentioned that overnight they had this incident in which a man had

been injured.

His penis had been severed.

Instantly, it was just starting to capture people's attention.

I left the hospital that day, and within hours, the world knew about it.

All I knew was I had a hell of a story on my head.

It's a crazy story. This young, seemingly central casting, beautiful

couple getting into this unbelievable mess. The whole story, it just exploded.

The name Lorena Bobbitt took over the world.

Next thing you know, this paper is being handed person by person by person down

the bus of everybody just engrossed reading about the latest details on this

story. Thinking about all the abuse that she's been through and everything in the

middle of the night. I'd like to see Lorena get 20 years, throw away the key,

and then deport her. What generated worldwide attention, I believe, is that

Lorena Bobbitt attacked the concept of masculinity and exposed to the world

how fragile masculinity really is.

It's simply one slice.

The big question is why.

We begin with John Bobbitt's parents, Marilyn and Bill Biro. They're with us

at our studios in Washington. First reaction, Mary.

My first reaction, I was very upset and very angry to think that anybody could

do something like that.

and then leave them there to die.

Legal consequences were now taking shape.

She was arrested that night.

I needed to head straight to the courthouse on the off chance that she

might be making an initial court appearance.

And indeed, that is what happened.

Lorena faced up to 20 years.

What struck me about her initially when I saw it was how young she looked.

She looked to be kind of in a state of shock. And I slowly approached her.

I told her I was a reporter for the Washington Post.

And she wasn't really looking at me, but she was talking to me.

And all she said was, he raped me. He raped me.

It is a criminal case that has resonated with men and women.

Raina Bobbitt cut off her husband's penis with a kitchen knife.

Retaliation, she says, for his abusive treatment of her.

So this was a situation where the offender was also claiming to be a

victim. The Commonwealth attorney, Paul Lieber, got pushback from women's groups

saying, but she claimed rape. Why are you not addressing that?

So much so.

The prosecutor went and charged John Bobbitt.

Lorena Bobbitt charges her husband with marital sexual assault.

Which carried a 20-year sentence.

I believe she was in a psychotic state, and all she did was try to remove

something so he could never do that to her again.

I was real scared, like frantic, you know. There's blood everywhere on the

floor, the walls.

Did you think that you might die?

Yeah.

Scary.

Scary feeling.

She hit him with her.

She's sick. No excuse for that. There was a gender war going on. It's just

kind of this men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

The visceral reaction on the one hand is horror, on the other hand is

celebration. I think that's a plot about society.

It's like, whoop.

Mother... Are panicking across the country.

Men don't know what to do.

I think a lot of people thought almost as a sort of cartoonish story of

revenge. Women are pissed.

That's why they're going.

It was a story driven by humor.

The whole country making jokes about me.

Number four, Lorena Bob an excuse was good practice for carving Thanksgiving

turkey.

Am I wrong here, or was your wife a crazy bitch?

I think everybody's slowly figuring that out.

Howard Stern had John Wayne on his show, and Howard Stern just ran

with it from there.

I don't even buy this whole thing that he was raping her and stuff.

She's not that great looking.

She's got a lot of pimples here, ex-wife.

That captures perfectly one of the enduring misconceptions about rape,

where it is not at all about what a man finds attractive. It's about power, and

it's a very common idea that I think Howard Stern was teeing up for John

Wayne Bobbitt.

If you only listen to bits and pieces, flip through the channels, you're not

going to get the whole story.

Ultimately, both John and Lorena gave exclusive interviews.

I think every journalist in the country wanted that interview with Lorena

Bobbitt. Hers was to Vanity Fair.

People wanted to know who she was and what happened. There was just this

effort to present her as the canary with the broken wing.

The story was Chana, her boss, said the last thing I need is for you to ask

Lorena to get in the swimsuit and get in the pool.

And it sounded like that was the first thing the photographer asked for. And

Lorena dutifully complied.

Her Vanity Fair photos were sexy.

Here she was being charged with a serious crime that could have put her in

jail for a long time, and yet she did a photo spread coming out of a swimming

pool and before John's trial and before her own trial. It just astounded me.

Totally anathema to profile someone who's an abused person.

Everybody I spoke to was like, he's a horrible guy.

He didn't have a single advocate in all the interviews. It's rare.

Usually someone.

Play something nice about you.

But John Bobbitt is the exception that proves the rule.

What was your reaction when you found out what happened to your brother?

If I had seen her, I would have killed him.

You think she tried to kill him?

She tried to hurt him in the worst way possible for any man.

She did worse than kill him. She took away the thing that means most to a man,

you know?

So why do you think she did this to you?

Less than two months before John Bobbitt was going to face trial for marital

sexual assault, 2020 and ABC News gave Lorena a platform to talk about her

charges against him.

Four sets excited him, and I would just cry.

Like so many of the accusations that fly back and forth between John and Lorena,

this one is hard to reconcile.

John denies that he was ever excited by a violent death.

John Wayne Bobbitt's trial went up first in November.

What really transpired? What really went on?

Why did it get to this point?

Welcome back to How It Really Happened.

The horror story of John and Lorena Bobbitt had its proper end as a justice

story, a courtroom drama to be prosecuted in two separate trials.

John faced 20 years for marital sexual assault, and Lorena was looking at 20

years for malicious wounding.

As they geared up to take each other down in a fierce he said, she said

swearing match, an electrified nation looked on spellbound.

How would the jurors decide?

It is a criminal case that has resonated with men and women.

It's certainly the most celebrated trial in Manassas, Virginia, in decades.

And there's a buzz with media.

Everybody was waiting for the big show.

In John Wayne Bobbitt's trial, cameras were not allowed because he was charged

with marital sexual assault. In Virginia, to protect the victim, the

cameras were not allowed.

It really would come down to believability.

He simply had to deny things.

She had to prove that things were happening.

A tearful Lorena Bobbitt testified that John came home drunk and forced her to

have sex.

She says he then told her that her objections didn't matter to him. So we

knew that they were going to have to show that John forcibly raped her. One

of the key pieces of evidence that the prosecution was relying on was her torn

underwear.

What she showed for force was that she claimed he ripped her panties off of her

while he was raping her. Her testimony was she was asleep the night of the

incident.

John Bobbitt came home around 3 a.m., quite intoxicated, and

he woke her up in an amorous mood.

I said, I don't want to have sex.

And then he wouldn't listen to me. He wouldn't let me go.

And he started to pull down my underwears with his foot.

And ripped them off of her and then raped her.

She says afterwards she spotted a red-handled fillet knife in their

apartment kitchen when she went to get a drink of water and said that after John

fell asleep, quote, I lifted the sheet and I cut it.

John Bobbitt denies he ever had forced sex with his wife.

They had a forensic from the FBI testify.

that the underwear were ripped off of her, and that would be the sign of force

used by John.

We hired the former head of the FBI forensics to look at it.

He did several tests with the cloth and discovered that the way to

tear the panties the way she described they were torn, he could not replicate

that. Our response to that was they were cut by scissors.

At the trial, they had experts who had examined her for signs of whether she'd

been raped or not, looking at hospital records for bruises or broken arms or

legs. A doctor who testified at John's trial saw no evidence

that she'd been raped.

He also testified that her demeanor was not consistent with someone who had just

been raped.

And when the jury was out, I said, John, you're standing here really calm.

You're acting like it's no big deal. He said, Greg, the truth will come out.

After I think about four hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted John

Bobbitt.

I'm thankful for the jury.

They believe me. And I just want to get on with my life. And, you know, I got a

lot of healing to do and start my life over again.

is up next.

Lorena Bobbitt looks like a woman in trouble, and she is.

The 24-year-old manicurist is charged with malicious wounding for emasculating

her husband with a kitchen knife.

It was, in fact, a tawdry story, but it plays in people's minds like a battle of

the sector.

The woman is an absolute liar, and I think all these women are demented,

mentally ill, to think that any woman has the right to.

You later, man!

Howard Stern's New Year's Eve show, they were going to use it as a fundraiser for

John. John, seriously, what happened to you is horrible, and that's why we're

raising money for you tonight.

Thank you, everyone, for the support.

It was all kind of a farce, but I think the idea at play with it was that, you

know, he was a victim of this, you know, terrible, heinous... crime and deserve

somehow to be compensated for that.

That is beautiful.

$190,000. Congratulations, John Wayne Bobbitt.

Lorena Bobbitt goes on trial for maliciously wounding her husband, and a

lot of people are watching.

What made you pop, snap, to get to that point that that's what you did?

Was no justification or excuse.

Taking.

law in her own hand, for maiming her husband, and that she acted in anger

or out of rebellion.

And as a result, she has violated the laws of this commonwealth.

Her words in being interviewed by the Sheriff's Department twice over a 24 or

48-hour period was, why did you do it?

He always has orgasm, and he doesn't wait for me to have orgasm. He's

selfish. I don't think it's fair.

She effectively told law enforcement, my husband is selfish in bed. As a juror,

that was one of the things that stayed with me.

Far from being in this emotional state, the DA said that Lorena knew exactly

what she was doing.

I went on, and I took it, and I went to the bedroom, and I told back the sheets,

then I did it.

And the prosecution was using that as evidence of...

Her intent to actually injure him. You were pretty angry with him, weren't you?

It was everything, Nick. It was everything.

I read that you forgive her. Do you actually forgive her?

Yes, because what she did was so terrible.

But she didn't do it because, you know, I was mean to her. I just

wanted a divorce, and she didn't want it.

She didn't want the divorce.

The evidence will show that Lorena Bobbitt believed that she had no real

means of escape.

John Bobbitt had threatened her that if she tried to leave, if she tried to

divorce him, it wouldn't matter. He'd follow her. He'd find her.

I was very afraid.

I was very afraid.

I feel trapped.

I don't know where to go.

I didn't know what to do.

I was very scared.

After the prosecution rested its case, it was Lorena Bobbitt's defense team's

turn. And they turned the tables on John Bobbitt by bringing up his history of

violent abuse.

You can't disregard all the abuse witnessed by so many different people.

Lorena's lawyers presented this profile of a woman.

who got married and was just hoping for the best.

But shortly after they were married, this marriage went sour, and it went

sour really fast.

And that's when Lorena says that John turned on her.

They talked about the first incident of abuse.

John was driving home. Lorena felt he was driving impaired.

He was zigzagging back and forth.

The speed limit, it was only 55 miles per hour.

He was going like around 85 or 90.

I was scared, and I told him to stop.

He would not listen to me, so I grabbed the steering wheel, and then he punched

me. They talked about subsequent incidents of abuse.

He would put his hands around my neck, and he would chuck this part of my neck.

Lorena didn't only testify about spousal abuse, but she also said that she was

the victim of marital rape.

Lorena's defense called some damaging witnesses to testify against John Wayne

Bobbitt, including two of his friends.

Lorraine's testimony in terms of her being raped by John.

John Bobbitt comes in the room and he said that he liked to have, that the way

he liked to have sex was for sex because that turned him on and that he liked to

have him scream.

He said that he liked to make girls leave and yell for help.

Mr. Bobbitt, did you ever forcibly have sex with your wife?

No, I didn't.

I never forced my wife to have sex, ever.

Cases ultimately come down to who you're going to bully.

Her defense was called irresistible impulse.

It's more commonly known as temporary insanity.

And a survivor of an abusive relationship comes to learn, if I'm

going to fight back and try to protect myself, I need to do it to the extent

where I am the only one that can walk away from the situation.

It is the notion that...

You are worked up into such an emotional state that you cannot control what you

are doing.

The issue becomes whether you had the capacity to control

your impulses. That's what she had to demonstrate to the jury. It's difficult

to prove.

I still cannot fathom that she could not stop what she was doing.

Do you remember saying that to him?

I remember, yes.

The prosecution grilled Lorena about her frame of mind during the attack.

Was this premeditated?

He said, Then I was angry already, and I turned my back, and the first thing

I saw was the knife.

The only light that was on was the refrigerator light, and I

saw the knife.

What the prosecution needed to prove to the jury was intent.

You remember telling Dr.

Waltney that you walked in the bedroom, you pulled the sheet back, you looked at

his whole body, and then you did it, then you caught him? Maybe I did say

that. And the next thing she remembers is he's driving in her car.

And you realized that there was something in your left hand. Yes.

And you realized it was your husband's penis. Yes.

And you were just horrified, isn't that right? Yes. So you went and got rid of

it just like that, right? Yes.

And you're in that jury room and they're passing around photographs of a severed

penis.

Regardless of the reason, that gets your attention.

When we're in that survival mode.

but not completely in control of ourselves, it's a powder keg for

disaster. And we see situations like this where survivors eventually end up

killing their abusers.

And this is not necessarily a chronic state, but something that happens in

some immediate acute moment.

One of the most powerful elements, I thought, of the defense was...

their ability to bring several witnesses to the stand on behalf of Lorena.

I would observe her at work the next day and I saw bruises on her wrist, behind

her ear.

I again witnessed extensive bruising over the top and sides of Ms. Bobbitt's

skull, into her hairline and face line and down her neck and shoulders.

She said she made a complaint while he was still in the Marines and they

referred him.

for counseling.

I remember that, but not the way you're putting it.

Then, the defense put on a mental health expert.

She became psychotic. She said, This woman was clearly abused, and it was

repetitive. It feels completely hopeless, and we're driven to the point

of doing things that we would never think that we would need to do.

And at that point in time, she attacked the instrument of her torture.

That is her husband's penis.

Somebody who's in an abusive relationship is exposed to constant

trauma. it's more difficult for the brain to shut it off because we're

always anticipating some sort of violent or explosive episode.

I believe the turning point in Lorena's trial came with one of the final

witnesses.

Her name was Regina Keegan, and she testified

that she went to get her nails done and ended up getting it done by Lorena

Bobbitt. I observed her. She was shaking.

Her hands were trembling, and she had tears in her eyes.

So we sat down, and she pulled up her sleeves, and

she was black and blue from here to here, like bruises.

And it wasn't like just a hit.

They went around.

I said, how did you get those bruises on your arms?

And she looked at me and she said, my husband hurt me.

And I think that was the turning point.

Ladies and gentlemen, what she did cannot be excused. It cannot be

condemned. And it cannot be justified.

I ask you to find her guilty of malicious wounding. This lady has been

stripped of all dignity, of all self-confidence.

She needs a lot of help.

She needs your help.

If convicted of malicious wounding, Lorena Bobbitt faces up to 20 years in

prison and possible deportation to her homeland of Ecuador.

We, the jury, find the defendant, Lorena Lenore Bobbitt, not guilty of malicious

wounding as charged in the indictment by reason of insanity.

It was a trial that captivated the nation and a verdict that split the

nation. Women and feminist groups cheered today as Lorena Bobbitt was

found innocent by reason of insanity in the mutilation of her husband, John.

She avoided a potential 20-year jail sentence.

Because she was held criminally insane at the moment,

state law mandated...

that she go to a mental institution.

Maybe that was the silver lining in it all.

Maybe she found the help that she needed.

She was evaluated and deemed not a threat to herself.

About a month and a half later, she was released.

I really learned a lot about this, especially the way how women and men

treat each other. Men have to have a little bit more consideration and

respect a woman.

She went on about her life after that.

It took a lot of years, and thanks to the doctors, I'll be able to now

basically start all over again and start a new relationship and have

a family, and I can laugh now.

But it's not a subject of laughing matter when we talk about domestic

violence, though. It's a serious problem.

Shortly after the trial, We heard that John was trying to woo Lorena again,

trying to get her back. But then we learned decades later that apparently

that hasn't stopped, that he is still apparently trying to reconcile with her.

These are letters that John has sent to me.

Some of them I haven't opened.

So it says, Dear Lorena, I miss you very much.

And if...

There was a choice to have any woman in the world.

It will be you.

Me and Lorena getting back together, that would be the ultimate love.

He's living in some sort of fantasy world.

And if you're living in that kind of world, then love letters to the woman

who severed your penis doesn't seem out of bounds.

After the trials, John Wayne Bobbitt added to his fame. He embarked on a

national tour dubbed The Severed Parts, starred in two pornographic films,

performed as a knife thrower in a circus sideshow, and worked as a guest greeter

at Nevada's infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch.

And between 1994 and 2003, Bobbitt added four convictions to his record of crimes

against women.

In his troubled life after Lorena, he also pled guilty to attempted grand

larceny. But finally, not long ago...

Bobbitt said in an interview that if Lorena had just taken a seat and talked

instead of pulling a knife, quote, we'd probably still be married with a family.

I'm Jesse L. Martin.

Thanks for watching.

Good night.
