Summary

Today, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about episodes from the Court TV Podcast archives. A quarter of a century ago a young immigrant bride and her Marine veteran husband found themselves in the center of media storm due to a night of domestic violence. She claims he drunkenly raped her. He claims that in an unprovoked rage, she took a kitchen knife and sliced off his “manhood.” Their names -- Lorena and John Bobbitt and their story captivated the nation, becoming fodder for late-night comedians, tabloids and cable news talking heads for years as both faced a jury of their peers for their part in the incident. Vinnie digs deep into the Court TV archives and takes us into the courtroom, discussing the issues of domestic violence as they existed in the mid-1990s.
