Lorena Bobbitt was all over the news in 1993 when she cut off, well, a certain part of her husband’s body. On the night of the assault, Lorena says her husband, John Wayne Bobbitt, came home drunk and sexually assaulted her, a charge he denied and was acquitted of. She retaliated by attacking him while he slept. She was charged with malicious wounding. Her trial played out for weeks on television.

Lorena’s defense team argued temporary insanity and claimed she was the victim of long-term physical and emotional abuse. The jury found Lorena not guilty by reason of insanity.

After Lorena and John divorced, she started going by her maiden name. Now, Lorena is a mother, real estate agent and domestic abuse advocate. She also started Lorena’s Red Wagon, an organization dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence.

I got this info from an interview she did last year with Oprah. You can read the full story here.
