In the early '90s, an infamous couple from Manassas, Virginia would become headline news for weeks when in June of 1993 24-year-old Ecuadorian immigrant Lorena Bobbitt became known as the woman who cut off her husband's penis with a carving knife. On the night of the shocking appendage dismemberment, Lorena claims her husband, John Wayne Bobbitt, came home drunk and raped her, a charge he profusely denied and was acquitted of later. A jury would find Lorena not guilty due to insanity. So, was this a woman who had been sexually abused by her husband and was pushed past her limits or a sinister mind that was in the mood for a little dismemberment?
