Back in June, 1993, 16 years ago, headlines all over the world were focused on pretty much one thing: the seemingly unbelievable story of a woman who had cut off her husband’s penis and thrown it out of the window of her car into a field beside the highway, only to have it found by the police and reattached by doctors. If you were like most people, you were absolutely stunned.
This week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone talks with Lorena Bobbitt, the perpetrator of this act, about what led a shy, frail-looking woman to do what she did.
Lorena talks frankly about what happened to her in the aftermath of the sensational trial including her recent televised reunion with her former husband John Wayne Bobbitt in 2008; and what brought her out of hiding after all this time. Don’t miss this fascinating story of domestic violence and desperate acts.
